On the 2 of November I picked up my freshly imported r32 gts-t skyline.

After previously owning a n/a r32 track car i can't believe I stuffed around with a non turbo for that long!!

I imported the car through motor man imports just off the pacific highway in Logan. Paul was so helpful there keeping me updated on every little thing, would recommend them any day of the week.

The car is amazing to drive arriving with a full roll cage and lots of other goodies.

The engine is a baby with only 77000km on it. Really the car is as stock as a rock but that's the way I wanted it, all up only coasting me 13k with full mod plate for the cage rego everything! Cudos to Paul again at motorman.

When the car first arrived :)

I have so many plans for this car I don't know where to begin.

First I got myself a pair of 18 inch wolf high performance wheels from a good friend of mine Carlo at csr performance parts.

These wheels stuck well out passed the guard roughly about 35mm so that of course led me to buying a full wide body kit from jase down t adrenaline auto styling. This guy has built some amazing drift cars and couldn't wait to begin work with him

Before the wide body

After all this love and attention the car was getting it still managed to find one terrible driver in the wet and yes some stupid learner decided to run into me !!!post-102647-13630421949239_thumb.jpg

Soooooo my pride and joy was sitting in my garage for a week in pain, luckily because the little amazing japs welded a floor brace and numerous struts the car only needed a new door and with the widebody job about to begin it really didn't matter!

So now I pick up the car on Friday the 15th with its banging new paint job and a new wide body kit, new coils are in the car and a dyno is booked in at mercury motorsports on the 21 of march.

Ill keep everyone updated!

Sorry about the shit post to new the sau!!!

Yeah heard only bad things bout mercury mste had his 34 serviced there. They scratched the side of it from front to back, didn't put the sump plug in probably so drained all the oil out over night. On another note welcome.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
