There was a Canberra based transport company I used to have my R33 brought down from Ipswitch, though I can't for the life of me remember their name since the seller organised everything :( it cost ~$500 or maybe a touch more, doorstep to doorstep delivery, and short of the car rocking up absolutely filthy (dust and rain can't be helped) I was quite impressed with the way they handled the car.

Remember !!! hahaa

Picking up a 34 are we???

Umm might be ! It's looking more realstic than not. It's bog stock though - looks bog stock too :( However, if it'll pass pits then I'm cheering and the cosmetics come out :3

I think bog stock is the way to go. Sure it might cost a bit more, but that warm fuzzy feeling when you look and the pride and joy you've created is totally worth it :D

It was you ! it took me an hour to find out the person who had that type of sig (The skyline). Where did you create it? :D

Also, You're right... I'm sure creating my own project and finishing it will create some pride and joy however the money side of it.. The rims I want are $5k :( haha thinking letting someone else spend that money and then sell the car with the rims is worth it :P

Haha, theres this whole big online game thing called Pixel Cars or something.. I dont actually play the game but I like the pictures. I basically just did this myself using photoshop. Started off with a r33 and changed it to resemble my car. Had to create an account so that I could view the base pictures. If you want I can send you the link to the car you want so you dont have to go through the whole process

And no dodgy crap to fix from idiot modifiers.

Just looking at bits n pieces for my Skyline this morning and I don't know if this point is in the front of the minds of others when buying parts for your Skyline.

Looking at JJR + Kudos pricing, then RHD and Nengun.

Firstly JJR / Kudos - The prices are pretty static for the first two shops. Meaning their generally premium prices. This may be because they bought up big way back when. Both shops have great service and delivery is generally within a week. So if you want it now and are prepared to pay premium - best way to go.

RHD / Nengun - Seem better BUT when you add freight, 2-3 week wait time and potential warranty issues, there is very little difference.

These 4 shops only have what is on their catalogue.

However dealing with Marcus (Elrodeo666) and/or Jesse Streeter - the prices are ALOT less. This is because they get current prices from the manufacturers direct, they have personal relationships with the distributors (they know guys) and they apply the latest Aud to Yen prices, but the wait time is around 2-3 weeks. Also and it hasn't happened yet but may also have warranty issues.

So if you can wait 2-3 weeks I'd recommend one these guys. Plus they hunt parts down for you.

If you want it in a week then JJR or Kudos.

Eg: the NISMO twin plate clutch I was after. In Aus $2420 + Delivery. From one of the guys above $1700 delivered.

And lastly if your prepared to wait longer - then ship from Japan by SAL or SEA for an even bigger saving !!

Yeah, only problem is that it comes with parts :( gotta sort all dis out. Haha

Soo keen. Went to buy it today - but the guy stopped replying after agreed price etc. I said "alright - happy too etc" no reply...

Yeah - gotta cart - Front GTR bumper (not going to take it if it's the dodgy brand), stock exhaust, stock intercooler, stock pod filter, 4x stock wheels.

The old man is happy to go down - but he cannot go down until 3 weeks away. I can fly / bus it down and drive back - but it's the parts that's worrying me.

Tetris... 2 wheels in the boot, 2 on the back seat, Intercooler + pod = passenger footwell, Unbolt Exhaust and put in boot, Front bar on backseat or from back driverside to passenger front. Easy...

You Need to Move House more... hahahahaha

So.. want to come to VIC? hahaha

Man, I have moved 13 times in my life. Never packed a box :D !

So, "bought" the car today. Just gotta get down there and pick it up. He didn't want a deposit so I'm hoping that doesn't mean he is going for the next best price. He is a nice bloke but who knows.

Works in your favour - you get to walk around it, check it in the flesh, take it for a drive etc...

Best way to go.

True. The inspection came back immaculate. The inspector has never seen a cleaner one in his career for R34 GTT's for its year etc ('98). there is nothing wrong with it bare tyres and break pads. So it turned out really well.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
