It looks clean and mean, Even better up close. Top notch Julian.

With the gear box done it'd be the complete package I'm thinking.

Cheers

PS. That'd be 500-520 rwkws ? :P

Can you do us all a big favour, put that front bar on and take some more photo's, it would be on my computer wallpaper. That is one fat powerful skyline. And I'm not even all that crazy about 32's.

finally got one! got it from autostyle in sydney on sunday and just took some pics of it. not too clean cuz the rain won't seem to let up, but the car's in awesome knick! just a few slightly worn rubbers around windows, lights etc. interior's pretty much on par with the outside. not immaculate but quite awesome nonetheless. couldn't be bothered getting the keys to open it and snap pics sorry! but yeah, car's totally standard 'cept for the 33 wheels, cat back exhaust and turbo timer. very happy with it. gave it a thrashing yesterday but that'll be it pretty much cuz i'd like this car to keep working for a while but it's got plenty o' poke. cheers guys!

Damn, I didn't know there were that many nice cars in Canberra.

having only moved back to Canberra 4 months ago after being away for 6 years I noticed how canberra's car scene has improved (still too many lancer with evo kits for my taste though)

better put up pics of my cars just in case people spot me and willing to give a wave.

Here is the R32 GTR I got back in mar 2005.

And this is my FTO, it's my rice car and hoping to get rid of it soon so I can spend more money on the GTR.

Anyway just bored at the moment and thought I'd post here. Hope to see you guys on the road.

Holy riced FTO yaf.......I spent way too much on my FTO =(

What have ya done to the FTO?

Yer, the FTO has been riced up before selling it. My cousin is a mechanic at midas and is helping me fix it up and sell it.

as for mods, it's practically stock except for rice stuff like gear knob, petals, seat covers, mags and stereo.

I sometimes get blinded looking at it.

Mivec, what have you done to your FTO?

I sold my FTO a little while ago but it had:

Extractors

Intake

Slotted rotors

Converted it to a manual.

I've still got a carbon fibre centre console part you can have if you want it.

And now I know that it is you I see at Midas all the time!! You came up and said hi to me the other night when I was filling up!! Haven't been to badminton in ages though so I haven't seen you there.

*swoon* =P

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
