New Perth owner

[Diomedes]

Hey all, long time lurker of these forums, but having finally pulled the trigger on buying a skyline, thought I should join and get more involved.

 

Bought a 1999 GT-R V-spec at auction in japan, through an agent. Car is still in japan, just waiting to get it shipped to Perth.

 

Needs some compliancing, most notably a new steering wheel. Also needs a bit of work, a bit of surface rust on the bottom, loose front left fender, but overall decent enough condition to drive for a while before I start refreshing a few things.

 

Looking forward to picking the brains trust here!

Hi mate,

Welcome! 

I am also from Perth. Can't wait to see this beast on the roads soon!

Hey diomedes, congratulations dude. You'll get many years of joy (and tears) 😉 out of her. Looks really nice, which auction was this purchased through?

Nice! Welcome, great to see new members with new cars still posting here.  Looks like nice stock car that you won't be scared of putting kms on!  Who did you go through in WA, prestige?  Did you have a good experience bringing it in?  Leather seats look like a nicely done job too.

 

Any goals for the car short/long term?

Well done! Car is gorgeous!

Car was purchased through J-spec. Did a bit of searching around, but they gave (at least what seemed to me) the most thorough feedback to my questioning. Experience with them has been good so far, car is still in Japan so I'll let you know how the rest goes.
