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"

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • 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.
