So 'the' day has finally came. I now am now gtr-less *insert epic sad face here*. Am leaving the nissan 4 wheelers for a suzuki 2 wheeler. Was going to add a comment about how a gtr isn't the best form of transport for a family man starting out...but neither is a bike...soooo that kinda stuffs that. Anyways, Gabnr's new master's name is Quoc, extremely nice guy and will be joining the forum soon. So fellas, be nice to him as you've all been ever so nice to me.

Quoc ==> beware of the west side boys, they bite, but not hard and are a awesome bunch of guys. Enjoy the forums and your newly aquired car. Ps. forgot to tell you, it's due for it's 2000km service (if you decide you're a weirdo like me and like to spend more time looking after it than driving it).

Hi All,

I have finally found time to join SAU (at work.... shh) . Been busy with a mates wedding, being the best man and all is damn tiring.

Anyway, I am indeed the new proud owner of "gabnr". Been searching around for a car for about 3 months before I found Michael's GTR, been looking between Evo 6, FD's and GTR Skylines.

On the day of inspection I was amazed at how clean the car was and how well it ran. So I pretty much snapped it up straight away.

The only plans for the car is just suspension work/tweaks. Just rest assured that gabnr will be looked after and is in good hands.

Anyway, looking forward to meet some of the SAU members some day.

Cheers :rolleyes:

Mattee welcome to the 2 wheels world of things....

Don't worry mate, you were not the only one to leave the GTR scene for similar reasons!

Bunta-Q i can tell you that 2 years ago when i first saw this car, the owner was a pussy! =D This keeps his car true in the condition you bought it.

Anyways hojak if you ever want to go for a ride PM me i have a 675 and plenty of torque.

*tears* When does the bike come? Any idea what bike your getting? I wanted to get my license sorted over Christmas but not sure if I'll have enough money now :(

Just picked up the bike today. Was hoping to pick the bike up as soon as i sold gabnr to help me forget about selling it, but instead, i had a few weeks to think hard about what i've done. All good now. It's a purple gs500e. leave me alone people, purple is cool.... :(

Man you were supposed to sort your licence out on your birthday, haha. What happened? pro honda in rocklea is sweet. They gave me a 2 for one deal for a two day coarse (as i've never riden before), took a friend, halved the cost, sweet. Paid for my first day, and passed the coarse. Didn't have to pay for the second day. So basically i paid a quater of the retail price of a standard 2 day coarse---mucho cheap, paid like $120 for my licence. Might be a way for you to get it cheap. You got a bike already?

Ended up holding off on the license as uni was hectic and I needed wheels for the pig at the time lol. I'll check them out that sounds like an awesome deal lol. I haven't got a bike yet still saving/ trying to sell the pig. Admittedly I haven't been trying too hard.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
