Hey,

Thought I'd do a little introduction here. Name's Ben, owner of a 1990 R32 GT-R (First in Aus). It's only just ticked over 100,000km's and had the unfortunate luck of having to do the timing belt and water pump. Which also ended up replacing the ABS system and Air Flow meters. Apart from that, it's a completely stock standard R32 (Oh, I put some Pod filters on it as the airbox was a little worse for wear). Need to decide on weather to repair the HICAS or just pull it out as it's starting to play up.

Purchased the car in Late April, not going to say where because it was probably the worst experience I've had with a dealer post-sale in regards to Warranty issues. (Worst problem being the car dying on me 5 minutes after leaving VicRoads, luckily it was transferred into my name and registered by then)

(My friend is standing next to the car, he happened to be driving by and noticed me screaming at my phone [stupid RACV])

Previously owned a WRX STi, although I only had that for about 7 months when she get rear-ended as i was pulling into a service station and sent flying into a light pole and then into the back of a Mazda 3. No injuries but the guy who rear ended me 'damaged' about 5 cars in total, 3 of them were from the light pole bouncing around the servo.

No major plans for the car really. I plan on spending the money on fixing the little issues up, then a few minor mods (Suspension, Brakes, Exhaust and Turbo's)... Although like any car that you start spending money on, I probably won't stop there.

Anyway, rego is XOA 616, Gunmetal Grey 32 GTR (w/badges) completely stock. Can usually find me on Eastern Fwy/Eastlink & Burwood Hwy (Wantirna South to Belgrave) and around the Belgrave area. I'm pretty reserved in my driving (Stick to the posted limits most of the time, etc) although I do usually nail it off the line because I've always hated taking off slowly and hate when people do it to me (Lights don't get any greener).

And picture of it cleaned up and plates on sitting in the driveway.

It's really nice Ben.

And I hope your bad luck is all finished

Thanks Terry,

Although there is one silver lining should I have an accident in this car. Purchased it for $16K, insurance payout is $22K

Although, I wouldn't want to have to write it off.
