Help - sold my daily car and hoping to buy this when I back in Perth in 2 weeks - 2012 Nissan Skyline 370GT Type P Crossover J50 Auto [emoji28]

Import car and what’s the best option to ship
It over - it’s in Melbourne now IMG_1762.jpgIMG_1763.jpg

Here are some pics. . .
You should really see the video of my reaction when I first saw the car =D
Bought some ze40's  Got a weird size though. . . 17x8.5 +30 i think. . .
 
Then after getting Anonymouse  post bought a spare set of SSR type C (I reckon they fkn hot. . .)
18x9.5+15. Bought in Japan.. they gay gold colour will get them blasted painted probably gun metal + new stickers. .
 
Spent nights and nights researching wheels. . mainly weights. . these 2 are super light weight.
There is lighter but they dont look as sick as these. . Buddy club almost impossible to find. . Oz racing wanted some stupid price like $3,800 for the last set in aus. pfft. .  just got Rays ze's
 
Burning the credit card on car gear lol. all part of the fun..
 
Still havent taken it for a (proper) drive yet. . . =/ only to get paper work for licence application.
So its not really driving. .  no plates on the car so felt like a criminal. . and now i have the plates so..
Just need to chop or bend them to fit though.

Yo- so it’s on tonight - meet up at city west 5.30-6 :) we will be there !

Bagh,

Was at Sir James Mitchell Park at like 4 pm waiting for you guys then I got hit from left field with email at 5:30 saying its at City west. Anyway got uber there and caught up with you guys which was great. Nice group of people very welcoming, thanks guys =D

I did Remove my coil pack engine cover and tie up the igniter yesterday just before the cruise. Heard that they get hot and can cause issues. Will leave it off for the time being.

Anyway took the car out last night from 10 to 11pm. Just through the tunnel and up down freeway, down west coast. Ran fine didn't have any of that loose of power fluttering rpm's. (think issue is still there. . or will come back). But was fun drive. Puts such a big smile on my face. Love that car. . .

Will see you all next drive.

or ill put up a post when my new wheels come.

 

PS Thanks again ELLE for the drink I owe you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Travel safe Elsie. Full cottons and tea towel on the head.

The car fell 5metres from a restaurant car park...

 

The 81 year old driver got a bump to the head, but the 81 year old passenger received a broken neck

    • 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.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
