:wassup: LOL people, leave the boy alone, i think he need a break from the Skyline world for a while.

Yeah get the Mini, what a birthday present Nark. I'll drag you in my mate Starlet GT lol or another option is get yourself a Starlet GT while the rest of the DOSH go to a house or something. :cheers:

anyone test driven one of these before? http://carpoint.ninemsn.com.au/marketplace...o=1&chkRows=500

not test driven but from memory they are only 110Kw engine from factory in a mid-sized car = not much for per4manse...

Cops will only leave you alone if you get a mini cause they are scared of the diseases associated with gay men

:flamed:

Im actually suprised you dont prefer the beetle cause they have that little vase in the dash!

:cheers:

get older quickly :cheers: all these things become less of a problem once you hit the "magic" age of 25..insurance, cops, etc all become less of a concern

Insurance is still a Bar$tard even when you are over 25... Im 27 and alot of insurance companies have changed.. they wont insure you (especially imports!!) unless you are over 30 with a turbo car...

SUX BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!

thats what they told me when i was looking for insurance for the 33..

i test drove one b4 i bought the skyline thru the dandenongs....handles great and has enough power....its around the $45 k mark too......

The insurance is what kills it though.

Buying a new car to save money is one of the biggest traps out there. It may look attractive at first glance, but once u add up all the depreciation thoughts start to set in. As soon as you've driven it out of the dealer u can kiss a few grand gone form its value already. Why not just setlle for a second hand cooper s? Let some other sucker make ur mistake for u :cheers:

Can't wait to see your avatar..... It's all about the...........

C'MON MAN, YOU ARE SUCH AN ADVOCATE FOR THE TWIN ROUNDS AND YOU GO AND DO THIS!!!!!

Don't get me wrong I like the mini, my first car was a mini, Get the mini and keep the Skyline.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
