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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
