your binoculars take picture?

seriously though that is damn fast shipment. btw do all imports sit at north haven? im just curious

No, mine is silver. The Viva Garage car has a 400R front bar, a different bonnet, standard mirrors and aftermarket front guards. Plus 100 RWKW worth of decals.

How much for the R34? Are you selling your S15?

I'm looking at importing / buying an R34 GTR in the not too distant future...

Saw a wild R34 GTR on Friday night about 8:15pm heading north on South Road just before the Sturt Rd intersection. Was white with Gt rear wing, looked like a carbonfibre bootlid, decals etc. Sounded brilliant.

Saw a blue R33 at the Woodcroft shopping centre carpark last Thursday. Had a great bodykit but I didn't recognise which type. Owner was sitting in the car so I didn't check it out fully.

Deluxe - yeah I knew it was there (had an arrival notice, and have been tracking the ship all the way from Japan.) We knew it had to be there somewhere, but the odds of finding it were quite low. We cruised and walked around the perimeter of the holding yards and finally found it.

Nozila - nah, that was taken with my did camera - it has quite good zoom. If a car comes directly into Adelaide, then it sits in North Haven holding yards until it clears quarantine/customs.

P1E - the R34 is setting me back around $22,500 landed ad on-road. Bloody cheap! I have no idea why this vehicle was so cheap, when normally they are up to $10k more - but as long as it's good when I get it, then I'll be stoked! Shanna from ns.com recently bought her R34 4 door here for around $35k (with some mods).

Yep I am selling the S15, will put an ad up everywhere very shortly! Asking $37K (has well over $20K of mods), which I think is a bargain.

nah it's a Turbo 4 door auto - steering wheel tiptronic - and includes mags, suspension, stereo and exhaust. Yep, have an auction sheet here (click), and there are pics of the car on my website www.andrewn.da.ru

I still love my S15 - it is just time for a change :rofl:

Spotted a silver r33 coming out of caltex main north rd. Waved to the guy but didnt think he saw me - its was too dark and my windows were fogged up. Had fairly nice kit from what i could see, bn? rear with a viva sticker on back window. Was that you P1E, i was in the white line with unpainted stealth spoiler. Anyways, nice ride who ever it was. Had the meaniest exhaust note too and ive heard alot of exhaust notes.

My car's locked away out of the rain and cold

I know of three gunmetal R33s with the BN sides and rear, plus the white Viva Garage car.

smart thinking...as it was a horrible afternoon driving in the rain. Those bn rears looks rather nice.

I have had enough of modifying cars for the foreseeable future, but you never know, hopefully my next car will either be an R34GTR or a V35 - you never know what might happen with one of those!

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
