Haven't bought it yet... the guy's woeful grasp of English still haunts me

Yeah wait until you order and see how many emails you receive from him and how they are all set out and spelt, it's CRAZY!!!

However you saw the product and it's the best I've bought from anywhere

I look forward to taking one for a drive. I wouldn't be surprised if one ends up being my next car. What colour did you get?

It's funny I always hear from Skyline owners how long it takes for them to sell their car. Many of them told me not to sell it because it would take so long and have my time wasted by so many people. I sold mine in a month and got a good price :)

WRC Blue Mica - the Subaru exclusive colour (the Toyota twins exclusive colour is Orange.) IMO the best colour of the lot, I wasn't set on any other colours.

Re: my Skyline, it was hard for a number of reasons;

*Auto

*Turbo

*4 Door

*Highish (but genuine) km's

Limited my market considerably because most people want manual coupes with 'low kms' and a P Plater can't drive turbo. The first person to come and see it (after 4.5 months for sale) just lowballed me even though the car was as described and they had nothing to pick on. Second person brought all his mates, I let him test drive and he bought it. It was a good car, it just had to sell eventually. Frustrating thing was having 3x regos and 3x comprehensive insurances at once...

So the Roady passed everything...

But the guard lining?

Umm wtf?! He said just get the guard liners put in and he'll pass it. And he'll do the next Roady free?

Why wouldn't u just pass it? Lol

I think so, he said the only reason it's all passed is because its extremely neat and very well hidden ie gate and big turbo.

But for guard lining? Man it's such a waste of time, and one lining is $70

Negz, done a few front guards and kept the lining. Tony's one, jonoes two.. And a few others from the BMW forums aswell. And I got my linig back in too, just lost the passenger side so I have to source a new/used one

Indeed it is, I had it pointed out to me too.

Good to know you can keep r34 ones... I may be a future potential client... maybe. xD.

Other costs coming up such as major ~_~

More so on ours as there's wires that run along the top rail and apparently "if the tyre pops and shreds the steel lining can rip through those wires"

    • 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.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
