Just got my plates delivered today. XXXGTR

I was never sure about personal plates (always 50/50) and have read a few recent threads about opinions on this. But it is my first GTR and thought...hey it's a GTR. Also, my ride is not a stock example. I think my choice is good and it took a while and many calls to Vic Roads to finaly decide.

What do you think?

Woman would like me to sell them (did not tell her about it... normally when the word Skyline comes out of my mouth she tunes out pretty fast so thought why bother about the plates) as she thinks it looks GAY and would attract to much attention from the jacks?

Pic attached.

i don't miind it. what were your other choices?

my attitude to plates at the moment is i'd rather spend the money on a mod (but seeing as i don't have a car it doesn't apply :rofl:)

Other choices were:

GTRT 78 (GTR T78)

RTFGTR (My initials and GTR)

GTRRRR (Taken)

GTRRR (Taken)

GTR (Taken)

and many, many to embarrassing to mention ideas that were quickly marked with an X - due to RICE factor pushing 10/10

his car lands in brisbane on the 15th!!!

Melbourne... I hope:) on the HAULLER EXPRESS or somethng like that.

Although a nice drive down the coast would be good.

I have posted pics in other threads but once more won't hurt. I will take some nice high res pics in a few weeks time.

meshmesh - I agree 100% but my brother in-laws (both import freaks... 1 x very nice $70000+ REX and well the other on is just a freak) both talked me out of GTRT 78 somehow (it was my first choice... but still happy with XXXGTR) now just have to get the car looking the part. (XXX part:p) This should be a hole lotta fun and damn expensive. And I am lucky to have my brother in-laws experiences to fall back on because getting it right the first time is hard when dressing up a car /even more so when you start with the engine mods..TRUE?

Taking this thread somewhere else now... I think I should post in another section but since car is not in OZ yet...

Anyone want to buy my RIMS? look at pics... They will be for sale as soon as it lands. Upgrading to 18' x 9 or 9.5's - Also anyone know where I can get a Do-Luck (copy) or Trust (copy) full bodykit R32 GTR for under $1800? Could not spend $3500+ for a kit.

Not keen on a GT wing as I doubt I will be fanging it all day around a track (some days though) Anyone know where I can get the little lip spoiler for the R32 GTR?

Fell free to tel me I'm a lazy bastardd, and I will do some reasearch. I have some pannel shops in mind but have also heard some horror stories about them J....eed

One last thing...How do you post the pic in the actual thread and not just attachments?

It will be landing in Brisbane on the 15th ( well scheduled for that, the last ship was late 5 day's due to bad weather......) Then get's brought to melbourne dock's where its available for pick up, or with $50 you can get them to bring it to your door!

Otherwise.. real nice car. should pump out 350kw!!!

S-Seven:

Are you teling me it goes to Brissy and then on a truck or something, or Brissy then Melbourne on the same ship? I was under the impression that it would come straight to the dock in Melbourne via what route I dont care.

$50 for car to be drove or towed to your door? I have already rang Vic Roads and it's $37.50 first day and $1 every day after for a non roadworthy / unregistered pass to drive you import or whatever untill it's ready to be registered (1 month max) I was thinking of doing all the driving myself...

usually if a car lands in queensland and is destined for Melbourne, the shipping company organises the car to be trucked to Melbourne for free.

I have a car on the HUAL TREKER .

the ship arrives in Brisbane,.. it will be moved from the secure bond controlled area at Brisbane docks to a holding yard at Melbourne docks for you to collect.

you could pick it up maybe a week after it arrives in QLD, realy depends on how busy they are at the docks, trucking lines, how fast you make the freight payent, etc. If the ship even arrives on time, the last one that came in was 5 days late due to bad weather.

Yeah the HAUL TRECKER is a Toll ship yeah? Same ship mine came over on roll on roll off. They will drop it a Bris and truck it here. The trucking cost is included in the shipping. A lot of ships go from QLD and skip Melb straight to NZ. Melb is out of the way and is cheaper to have it dropped in QLD anyhoo

I think your plates are cool! Similar to something I'm looking at. As far as the Mrs, she a girl, does is really matter what she thinks? :)

Also congrats on the car, looks like a real machine! Can't wait to see it on a cruize or meet!

The first thing id be doing is getting a couple of pod filters!

And those wheels look awesome, i vote keep them.

Pod filters... I will be purchasing them on the weekend. Hope they don't chuck any on because those Apexi filters are expensive x2!

Wheels... well they are nice but I want to go 18' or 19'

I am considering Serious-Sevens offer for some very nice RacingHart rims from the US ($2300US)

GTR R34... nothing a bit of TLC can't fix. But I'm also concerned.

:D Was not told ever by importer that it was being trucked down. Anyway, as long as I'm cruz'en by the end of the month. (compliance and tune still to do)

:rant: Still don't know what ECU I 'v got running the car... have asked twice for this info... think I will get the Power FC anyways and sell whatever is in it at the moment.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
