Pentae that looks like a BEAUTIFUL car! I'm going interstate for three months at the start of next year, and consequently had time pressure to find a car... I saw your car come up a few weeks after I paid for mine! Argh, if only I could have waited! They are both the same spec/condition by the looks of it, but I would have preferred black! (to gunmetal)

Great car!

Mark

I don't know how much you have spoken to Geoff, but I touch base every week or ten days - the latest news is that he's not sure who/how many will get on this (promised) NYK vessel. If you like, you can have your vehicle moved to another port, and try for Kiwi, but there are no guarantees it'll make it elsewhere. If we were better informed about what ports are moving cars + all the current (read: accurate) shipping scheds, it may be worthwhile, but in our case, patience looks like the order of the day. Port transfer would cost around $300-$400.

Mark: Thanks mate!! I saw your gunmetal grey one when I was shopping as well but have always had my heart set on a black one. You can always get a respray :)

For R32 GT-Rs? They only supplier is D-speed, and they cost far too much IMHO.

got an email today, mine is on a ship (i knew that already, but now i have proper confirmation)

Hurrah!!! The ship is "The Hachinohe Bay" and it should be arriving on the 13th December.

Now i gotta go resit my license test so i can drive a manual legally when it arrives :)

Mark (and others) would you happen to have an 'after' pic? I've seen them advertised, but never on a car.

There has been a longish thread about them in the past:

Moral of this story: I wish my car was on a boat. :)

For those of you who HAVE been confirmed that their car made it onto a ship, on what date did you finalise payment for your car, and what port was it sent from?

My car arrived in Brisbane about 3 weeks ago.

It spent a week on the docks.

It's spent two weeks at the compliance place.

It's going to a mechanic for a full once-over after that.

It better be on the road before Christmas! :rofl:

i just got my 91 soarer took me 3 weeks to get it to aus then another 2 months to get it on the road. shows how much the government and customs are slowing things down

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
