To be brutally honest - you picked a bad time to buy a GT-R

The good cars are overpriced, and there is a lot of very average stuff out there for 30+ grand, which is just nuts - most don't appear to be selling either

Forget about insurance too

I have plenty of suppport from people around me who own GT-Rs. Your point on insurrence, I may just have to legally put the car under my dads name and just pay the bills for him.

I understand now may be a bad time but again I've got the 18 moths so who knows what can happen in that time. I understand that issue and I'm comming here for your advice ane the advice of my close mates to ensure the decisions I make are going to be well made with your guidance.

I'm going for my L's on a bike and will use that as the daily. Super concerned over how easy it is to steal a GTR currently searching for a sophisticated security system. Thanks for your concerns no doubt I need to take all of them into account.

I'm sure I can come up with over 45,000 over a year and a half. I have no responsibilities for cash so I can invest it all into this project. Not sure if i mentioned here or somwhere else. I have 18 months until I start at kapooka, interms of accommodation and lifestyle I'm pretty well covered.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
