I picked up my R32 GTR today from Laverton :thumbsup:

It's been a while and I thank everyone who has given me some much needed advise over the last 3.5 months. THANK YOU.

9.00am - Vic Roads to pick up UVP

10.00am Laverton (TOLL) to pick up car....

10.30am Leaving Laverton... battery was flat and stalled it turning onto Westgate Fwy...what a drama! Caused a road block for about 1km B4 someone gave me a jump. No air filters on so idel was a bit jumpy. Minimum fuel also!

Fark it was an awsome drive. Handels like it's on rails (my first drive in any sort of GTR...weird) Played around with the boost a bit... did not take it over 5500 but even then it was kicking HARD (to me anyway)

MISSING ITEMS: Missing horn from wheele, missing Nozmo gear nob.

BONUS ITEM: Rims are super sweet, thought they were 17" from photos but they are 18" deep dish with 245/40 ZR rubber and good tread.

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY

Will post some pics later...

Nice.

Is this the one with thr T78? wheres the engine bay shots and shots of the whole car, not these fancy ones where you can only see 20% of one part of the car :rofl:

T78 it is indeed. I will post more pics of the "whole car and engine later if I can grab my mates camera. If not tomorrow when its lighter. (my camera seriously sucks unless you have great lighting)

Other Q's: Used J-Spec :thankyou: Cost me between $20K and $25K

looks good.. was this the one you posted with shots in japan and was all dirty in the engine bay? and was meant to have had a "fresh" rebuild. Looks like they've cleaned it up a little since then.

Anyhow, looks like a good buy.. enjoy!

Mate....

This thing was farkin filthy when I picked it up. I've got a week off work, so had the time and quite enjoyed giving it a 4hr clean today. Went through 1/4 can of de-greaser and about 10 rags just on the engine bay. Looks heaps better now.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
