Does anyone know the name of the front bumper on my car? I need a new one because the bumper on there know is basically f&*$%. It is cracked badly and I am told will probably crack again if repaired. I really like the look of the bumper but its going to be hard to find another when I don’t know what I’m looking for :) So if anyone knows the name of this bar I would appreciate it!

850 fitted and painted?

The bomex front bar i want for my 32 is going to cost that much alone to get it over here, let alone paint and fitting...

Any1 know of places in AU that deal with bomex kits? UAS has a 'bomex' front bar for 500, though i don't think its original coz its not what bomex have on their site

sorry bout getting off the track, but i can't click on ur name like u can in SDU....

hey steve, just checked out ur site, awesome stuff!!! man i am in the EXACT same position as u were, dreaming of a skyline for the end of the year and just looking at pic after pic, and reading thru these forums, everything u said, exactly the same. I'm on my P's, and i'm 18 so insurance is going to be a bit of a prob.

The thing i want to ask u tho is that i know someone who imports skylines pretty much every year and does them up a bit and then sells them, making a bit of a profit. Now he's offered to help me import one all the way under my name, as he's helping me i don't have to pay him anything, but i haven't talked to any import companies yet, so i was wondering what it was like to dealing with "edge imports"?? I live pretty close to you, sandringham, so i'm a little bit up the bay and just wondering how u found edge?? Helpful?? Just trying to decide whether it is worth getting this guy i know to help me or whether just pay a bit for someone to do it for me....

By the way, if you don't mind me asking, how much did ur skyline end up being?? Auction+getting it out here?? I'm looking to spend around 16 - 16.5k but not sure if i could get a R33 GTS-t for that tho...

Hopefully i'll give ya a bell at the end of the year and we can go for a cruise, haven't seen any skylines around the sandi/hampton/brighton/beaumaris/black rock area. Maybe i should have gone a little further to parkdale to see a couple of

fine examples!! :)

p.s. my email is [email protected] (as to not get off the track of this thread)

Hi SS8_Gohan,

Glad you liked the site :) Both Dent and I went through UPI (Ultimate Performance Imports). They are in Moorabbin and I would recommend you use their services! However, if you do know someone that will help you all the way for free then that is going to be hard to beat. But will this guy comply the car and all that crap for you?

I personally do not know much about cars (I just like to drive them), so when importing a Skyline (which is my first car) I did not really know how to go about it. Lucky for me Dent was also looking at getting a car and he had a lot more experience.

Anyway, we went to UPI and spoke to Dean who then did the rest. Dean is a helpful guy and pretty much took care of the whole thing for me. I just had to sign the odd paper here and there. Well it will be a difficult decision either way but its worth paying to insure that it is all being taken care of I recon.

I had a few problems with my GTS-t on arrival but Dean sorted them all out for me ... cost me a few more $$$ but she runs well now ;) I got the car for $12500 in Japan and it cost me another $7500 to get it to Australia, complied and on the road. Sadly, I needed a new clutch, suspension and there are quite a few scratches that still need to be fixed. But all is well because I scored a sun roof, nice rims, good rubber, big exhaust, great body kit, monster tacho, and nicely tinted windows :) All up I was happy with the car!

      Stock speakers / head unit functionality

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      Hi all, so some of my speakers still work some I don’t think work. The old head unit is still all functional. If I keep the stock head unit as I feel it’s vintage then can I just pop in new speakers - would that be plug and play? Would I need to bypass the amps in the doors and back? Heard there’s 3 of them.  anyone run a blue tooth into the stock head unit? Or is the only option running one of those tape decks with cable coming out?  my cd deck controller although rare I don’t think is working anymore either. Guess if I got that working with the speakers then I could load some cds.    just seeing my options here if anyone has some advise.

      My trusted mechanic is Tunehouse in Calder St, Marrickville. He's the guy who did the ECUtek dyno tune on mine. I'm nearing the 85k mark for my motor and I'm considering getting the oil galley gaskets done as preventative maintenance when the time comes. Since my garage isn't big enough for such a task, I'm definitely going to be handing it over to him. You'll be impressed by how clean he keeps his workshop. It gives you the confidence he and his employees will look after your vehicle with the same pride.

      The Bogan Sports Car now has fresh gear bag and diff oil The old gear bag oil was nice and clean looking, the old diff oil was average looking, not horrible, just dark, I've seen worse in other cars, much worse Good things was that both drain plug magnets looked good with zero bits of anything apart from a small coating of that typical black goo you get on the diff plug, it was probably the original diff oil, but nothing shiny The shifts are sweet, and the Torsen is Torsening like a boss (tested in the work vehicle maintenance yard after work). LOL In other noise related news, the Racing Beat axle back sound nicer than stock from outside with the roof down, but still pretty quiet, but it's not noticeable at all really inside with the roof up.....maybe it needs a header.....🤪  This is what a OEM header looks like 😝 > 🤣🤣🤣🤑

      Like loud exhausts? You could be a psychopath.

      Does it have a vacuum brake booster? If it does, and the booster isn't connected you will get TPS and all sorts of other codes, and it will struggle to idle Have you driven the car, checked the brakes?
