Name: Scott, but literally everyone calls me Sciby, including my 2 year old godson and before you ask, it's pronounced "Sky-bee".

Age: 27.

Location: Central Queensland.

Car: Don't ask what I drive now, but just had a loan approved, so I'm about to hunt down an R33.

Occupation: Sysadmin (professional geek) at the same place as Squizz.

No doubt will meet some/all of you when I finally get the new car.

I'm Jay age 61 retired Rn. non retired revhead and PC freek

Hi Sciby.... you still with OCAU?

I've got a 94 GTS25T Silver with a crappy red front bar

Just getting into the drag scene alternating drives with my first born Mick

AKA Lanos Driver.

I've owned 70 or 80 cars.....mostly orphans..... and do most of the work

on them myself.

To the wankers who posted on a recent SDU thread regarding over 50's

drivers, I see more dangerous young drivers than old, especially when

it's raining. :)

ONARUN For sheer driving pleasure the Skyline tops the list followed by Alfa Romeo Berlina 1750, 1750 GTV,Triumph TR3A,BMW 3.0 si,

Marcos V6GT,Hillman Imp (modded front camber makes all the difference)

I wrote off a Honda 9S with 4000miles on the clock at Oran Park.

Then there was Jag E Type 3.8, several M11 3.8 Jags, a handfull of Triumps.... one MD the rest Mk11 PI's, 2x Mk11A Sprites, MGB(big disapointment , that one) Izusu Bellet(new) Honda Civic (new)

Suberu 4x4 waggon(new) Mazda E4100 based motorhome(self built)

couple of minis of course,EH Holden, just long enough to drive it home ,recover from the trauma, and sell it, Citroin something 85model,

and so it goes on.

Right now I've got the Skyline, 82 Range Rover with P76 motor 89

4spd auto and interior+ Recaros. The 3.0 si is going but deregistered,

minus front sidewindows(thanks you pricks) Marcos is a rolling body/chassis awaiting new engine gearbox..........suggestions anyone??

And now these arthritic doddery old fingers are tired of typing so i'll stop

:lol:

It's good to read something about local Skyline owners----a diverse bunch of people joined by a common interest in GTR's.

I have enjoyed breaking away from the conservatism of Porsche ownership and owning a car that is truely wild.

I take my car to Queensland Raceway regularily and it is always a buzz to demonstrate that it is as fast as Porsche 996 twin turbos that have mods and sticky tyres, particularily when the engine in my car is much smaller that the Porsche.

Most embarassing moment: being mistaken for slip's father

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
