I was appalled at how horrible the Wheeler Dealers Skyline episode was. It really put me off the show.

On the flip side, I've always found the less-showy Car SOS to be a better watch, even if they don't show quite the level of mechanical work that Wheeler Dealers does.

I caught the 2nd half of an episode where they were SOS'ing an R33 GTR. I had to do a double take because I'd never seen them work on anything newer than mid-eighties.

It was so nice to see them restore the car rather than "modifying" it. They replaced the exhaust (3.5" maybe) with a fresh built exhaust, they replaced the Nismo wheels with a new set (that looked questionably "Nismo" to me) and then they cleaned and repainted. Nothing silly.

And holy smokes it looked *so* good afterwards. Sounded great too.

Anyone else seen this episode?

Thanks for the head's up. Watched the episode off my PVR last night. It was pretty good. And so nice to see the ressurection of a car that was well shagged but had that typical skyline potential waiting to be unleashed.

I wonder how much he paid for those LM-GT2's?

      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
