My car officially in SA!

[ecenshu]

Finally got my car registered in SA after going through 5 1/2 months of patience waiting for it to be imported. Good impressions so far, pretty fast, boosts good looks good. Only qualms at the moment are:

too low(lowered springs std shocks)

clutch difficult to operate(need time adjusting)

paint requires cut & polish(some swirls and a couple of blemishes)

About the clutch, im pretty sure it isn't standard because my cousins R33 GTR has a softer pedal than mine and mine is rather noisy when it engages. Could it be an aftermarket? It rattles when I press it down and when it engages it squeaks.

A big thanks to both Dean at Ultimate Performace Imports(UPImports) and Rob at Performance Vehicle and Parts Imports(PVP Imports), Dean for doing the brokerage and arranging for the importation and Rob for doing the compliancing and mechanical work. I would reccomend both to anyone doing a similar thing to me.

PS: Pictures of my car have been posted here before, and more to come when I have the time to clean my car! :wassup:

You mean you got your car through regency with lowered springs????

What rate are they, if you want some firmer than stock one, but normal height, I might be able to do a deal for your.

Congrats on the new ride. Oh, and normally rattling clutch happens when you have more than 1 plate, so may be a twin. They would tend to have a heavier pressure plate and a more savage bite (well mine does anyways:)). Dont know about squeaking when it engages though? but still a twin plate for nicks, good chance you may have some other goodies as well.

Rest of the car is pretty stock...exhaust is mild steel and no car got complied as a stock vehicle...I need to buy some legal parts for it because the ones that came with the car is too low for my likes. Also have no idea about what rate the springs are.

[Steve]

Well I have a set of fronts, rears are still being used at the moment, but soon hopefully, I will have upgraded them to. They are normal height I am pretty sure.

[ecenshu]

Well I'm definitely interested...just PM me when they are available.

I saw ur car today in pvp! Looks tough!!

Very jealous!

[ecenshu]

Hehhee...you saw it at PVP and still think it was tuff? It was soo dirty I didn't want to touch the door handle to open it! (A little bit exagerated but it was HELL dirty!).

Anyways, thanks for the compliment!

[slyr33]

May be dirty but look under the dirt and u have a very tuff GTR!!

I agree bout it being to low, but it does look good like that!

[ecenshu]

Looking good and driving fast are at opposite ends of a scale...I wish it could look like that but the car bottoms out so frequently, I might as well bought a Civic.

[slyr33]

Why dont u buy those coil overs in pvp?? Im sure there for a 32 GTR?

Im sure Rob would of done a good price on them.

[EnricoPalazzo]

goin thru regency the first time to get car registered, it has to be completely stock for a 15 yo car. Also regency freq. change there minds when it comes to coilovers. They are legal one day and illegal the next.

[ecenshu]

I would have bought them if I had extra cash at the moment but thats the way life goes...in time, I can't get everything at once, car already set me back a chunk

[EnricoPalazzo]

hmm im soo tempted to sell my 33 for a 32R

[ecenshu]

Can I tempt you more? I experienced ATESSA today and it was SUBLIME! :wassup:

[slyr33]

Yeah, thats life.

At the end of the year i wanted to get one but i decided to save for the house.

[hippy]

[regency_chicky]
