That looks amazing Baron. Awesome.

The headlight thing will polish out.

Whereabouts are you based?

The headlight is a bit odd, but I am confident it is nothing serious - more detailed pictures are expected tomorrow....... not too worried considering the provenance of the vehicle.

Will be based in Melbourne eventually.

Andreas, congratulations on your purchase. That is a rare find.

I know when I bought mine Steve at JJ said to buy it (advertised privately) because for him to get me one I would have to take what he could get, be it a $15k POS or $30k stunner. That was 3+ years ago now.. I still can't find words to describe how jealous I am of the latest edition either..

Rare enough that I thought we'd never find anything similar after we got Cherry Racer's car. This is once in 2 years-type.

I am eternally grateful ;-)

Holy crap! That's awesome.

We need to find you some nice mats Baron.

Are there reflectors on the rear edge of the doors? Were they an accessory?

Love the wind deflectors still in place.

I wonder what the following items are:

- object top left of dash, near left a-pillar

- object in passenger footwell

- recangular object to left of steering wheel

So cool! Sweeeeet car!

Absolutely beautiful!

Can someone tell me what the sticker is on the radiator fan shroud with the blue circle/dot?

Mine previously had it but no longer. Trying to track one down.

If we can get a close up, might be able to decipher. AC refrigerant label/type?

no idea on that yet - I believe from some of my japanese collegues at work that it could be some type of 'e-tag' tolling thingy......

- object in passenger footwell

that's a bin (yup - odd I know ;-)

- recangular object to left of steering wheel

- thats the connector of a cable dangling out of the centre vent - apparently connected to whatever was sitting on a mount on the centre dash - see attached picture for opposite side view. will be a pain to get rid of the mount I fear - depending on glue.....)

any ideas on where to find one would be apopreciated.... :-0

I would be trying to track down an original radio too Baron.
Very nice.

Mine has marks from similar aerials on the rear screen and from something having been glued to the dash in a similar place (but slightly different shape of "foot print") which was all part of an ancient and massive GPS system, the dash mount was for the screen, the aerials were for TV, the object on the dash might be GPS antenna. Mine still had the screen in the glovebox, but it was confused as all hell by being in Aus.. The mark on my dash is pretty hard to see where they took the mount off, it does however literally look like a boot mark, and raised a few questions when I first looked at the car..

Well the auction sheet apparently mentioned a similar navigation system so it'll be interesting to find out exactly. Maybe my screen is still in the glove box too....

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
