Supra Owner, Looking For A Skyline Owner In Particular

First of all, just wanna say, I am a Supra owner, so the flame suit is up :whistling:.

I don't know about you guys here but I'm a frequent of the supra forum (supraforums.com.au/forum), and we do appreciate Skyline owners joining up and showing us their pride and joys, so for anyone who cares pics of my car particular can be found here: http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=61284.

Now for my question:

I live in the Newcastle area (5 mins north of Raymond Terrace to be precise). I have been looking around forever for someone I can trust to respray my car. A few people have recommended Georges paint and panel as a great guy who really knows what he's doing, so I dropped around there the other arvo, had a good talk, he gave me some great advice, he does indeed seem to know what he was talking about.

However he took me inside the booth to have a look at the current project there, inside was a black R32, blue pearl through it from memory. The car was by no means finished the had it stripped back and 2 coats of primer on there by the looks of it.

I was just wondering if the owner of this car is on here, or maybe someone knows of him? As I would like to meet up with them if possible to have a good look at the work done by this particular guy.

On another note, I have nothing against Skyline drivers, I give a smile and a nod if one of you guys notices me, but lately I've had a few real assholes. One in particular in Raymond Terrace on Sunday arvo, I was doing nothing stupid, again gave a smile and a nod, and got a death stare I am certain no woman could produce. I know I'm just being an idiot here I don't really care, just worth saying :thumbsup:.

Thanks for any comments/pointing in the right direction!

Cheers,

Jacob

doesnt matter what you drive here Jacob! I drive a hairdresser mobile! LOL

welcome - and sorry, cant help you with that skyline!

I still forget that I dont own a skyline, and wave and nod to others but yes, I get some weird looks - perhaps they think Im gay and trying to pick em up with my wiggles mobile hahaha but all good! I normally give a smile and a nod to good cars, well, what I think is good and 95% of the time get a nod back!

Thats what I think, who cares what you drive! Sure I prefer Supras but I don't death stare Skyline drivers just because they prefer Skylines!

Cheers for that anyway, hopefully someone around the area will know of him :whistling:.

Back in my in-between Supra stage I forgot too and gave a wave to Supra drivers, yes got some funny looks, especially considering I was in a Daihatsu Charade! 3 cylinder FTW!

Ive given up waving to other Supra drivers on the roads, not one wave back - i guess they're mostly too cool for school :D

Eh must work both ways then. If one of you guys gave me a wave I would give a wave back, not just give a glaring look back...

For example passed a purple 34GTR a few weeks back, gave him the thumbs up out the window, he just glared back, I'm like what the hell?

So no-one knows of this Skyline?

PS N1GTR, if you see MY-97-SZ give me a wave, I'll be sure to wave back :).

I still love the Supras but they still look like whales :D

Haven't seen that many but those Yanks sure did know how to build a couple back in the days. Got any pics?

Haha yeah I've had a few have a go at the car for looking a bit like a whale, personally I don't see it but a lot of people seem to think so.

Mate pics are in the link on the first post: http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=61284.

You have to look at the backside for the whale impression :P

All you need now are some BBS dishes to go with the soup :D :D

Love the colour on your supra :)

Cheers mate, the colour is RSP (Royal Sapphire Pearl). Its pretty rare and sought after (only very few is Aus) so I'm definitely one lucky guy.

Thats one HOT Supra, still love them heaps =)

Thanks! So I'm assuming you previously owned a Supra?

You have to look at the backside for the whale impression :rofl:

Hahaha I see what you mean, it definitely looks like something very fat from behind :thumbsup:.

Awesomely clean :)

Thanks mate, lots of bits on the paint that I'm annoyed about thus the respray.

So STILL no one know of this Skyline?

1. Did you ask the guys supporting the booth who might have his number? Any other noticeable traits that the car might have? wheels? model type? etc.

2. Not all Skyline owners are assholes and if they are it has nothing to do with the car anyway. Like the other day on the forum I asked innocently how a rear panel was done on a particular car and the kid just gives me an attitude, wow he's got internet power!!

Nah didn't notice much on the car, only the colour he said it was getting painted in, and that is was a 32, apart from that the car was pretty much pulled apart and covered in blankets.

I am maybe going back there tomorrow arvo, if so I'll just ask to see the car when it is finished, surely he will understand...

Yeah I know you're not all like that... I will freely admit that some Supra drivers are just as bad, if not worse, and yes we get the same keyboard warriors on supraforums.com.au, but they don't last long lol.

i got this from skyline drivers when i first got my 33. and there were much less of them around at that time. some gave dirtys. others thought it was a race challenge. douchebags.

so i stopped bothering. i couldnt take the rejection :verymad:

Ok so respray will be coming sooner than expected, after being majorly keyed:

http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/attach...mp;d=1277942948

People that do this kind of thing deserve to die...

Just thought I'll keep this thread updated just in case it turns out good and anyone else in this area is looking for someone capable to do a respray.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
