Well I finally got my 97 gts-t on the road, I waited about 4 months for the import process, man the waiting sucked ass. The car is almost spotless inside and out, very good condition. I am one hundred percent happy with my purchase.

one annoying this is that I got pulled over and breathalysed (I was in my datsun sunny not the skyline) and blew .049 that was re calculated to .042 which would be fine If I wasn’t on my P plates (I am 23 have only recently got my licence and have been driving for 9 months) I am waiting for my court summons and will no doubt lose my licence for three months. soooooo gay :D do you have to redo your full licence like redo your L's and log books and all that? I bloody well hope not, it better just be the actual driving test. Another 2 years on P's is a total pain, they really go hard on this sort of thing.

On a good note my insurance is only $1600 which is like half of what some friends pay for a car worth less and with fewer cylinders. But who knows what it will go up to when i report my DD after I’ve been to court.

I havnt taken any pics of it here in WA yet but here is the pic of it in jap.

Well the point of the thread is to inform people that may be interested in importing that you can get good clean cars and you can get a good price on insurance.

And perhaps also to say don’t drink and drive. You will loose your freaken licence.

I dont actually lose my licence until i go to court so I get to drive around for a while.. :D

Is it bad for your car if you hit your rev limiter in first gear a few times?

that's pretty bloody good fane!

stix, congrats on your car. hope you enjoy it for three months......

You've gotta feel for the guy. He would have only had one or two drinks to have blown that. It's under 0.05 ffs.

when I'm old and on P's again, I'll remember to only have one lemonade wih a dash of gold.

i know the feeling, i was pulled over one night (on my p's) after i had been drinking earlier on in the night and had been on water for quite a while, i was very very sober!!! but the cops followed me down the road, turn their lights on and pulled me over. it was my first ever breathalyser and i kept stufing it up, the cop got really agro with me, i was doing exactly what he told me to do but i didn't work... then i decided i would do it my own way and it worked... i was like .003 under the p plater limit.... soooooo lucky!!!

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
