Hello i am Mike, i am 19 years and coming from the Netherlands, and i am the proud owner of a 1991 red r32 gtst, i like gaming ofcourse :P, and watching way to much Anime, further do i like to be busy with cars ( especially JDM ones and the r32 as my all time favorite :) ) So you can guess that buying one was a dream come true for me.

But stil did i buy it with some work to be done to get it on the road again ( dutch rules once a year youre car has a test if everything is allright, I think youre country has that to right)

If you have questions ask them :P,

So here some pictures

This is how the car was 2 years ago nothing changed except that some moron owned it which f**ked the car more up then fixing it.

My family is in Zwolle, Uncle and his wife and 3 cousins.

Visited them in 2009, was such a rad time.

My Opa lived in a place I can't spell... Leeuwarden sounds familiar... There were canals there if that helps! Ahahaha.

Can honestly say I didn't see one skyline over there..

btw: there arent many skylines driving in the winter here, thats because they throw salt on the road if it begins to freeze.

run exhaust straight onto ground, melt ice.

if salted, just hose it down underneath when you get home.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
