They reckon owning/modifying cars is an addictive habit. I definitely can't argue with that, this now makes car number 15 in the 13 years I've been driving!

I always swore I'd never do the whole importing process again, but yeah, same old story goes with "I'm leaving this one totally stock" haha.

Recently went on the hunt for, and acquired a GTR in as tidy/clean/well looked after/genuine low km condition as I possibly could. A few months went past and several shocking "grade 4" examples until this one was found.

Details:

Built 11/1997 Series 3
R33 GTR V-Spec
Midnight Purple
Usual V-Spec items (brembos/coolers/fins etc)
1 Jap Owner
54***kms with complete service history and books (last service identified at 51,360kms)
Cat-Back Exhaust
Also appears to be lowered (visually) but nothing was mentioned on the auction sheet
Completely stock other than the above.

I tried to keep the matching Jap number plates but that was a no go :(

There's a few things in the pipeline in terms of mods (wheels/suspension/tune/half cage/seats - track work) but first things first are maintenance so I've ordered a 100,000km service kit including all gaskets/oil/water pumps etc.

The car recently arrived into the country and has just cleared customs & quarantine this week so will be off to the compliance workshop shortly I suspect.

Crappy Jap Photatoes:

On another note, it arrived at the compliance workshop yesterday morning, albeit dirtier than a kings cross hooker, emptier than my bank account on a daily basis, and flatter (battery) than a pre-teen beiber fan.

Now, to start learning about GTR's as I previously never really ever thought I'd think about owning one - let alone actually owning one lol.

      If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
