Yay drove my car for the first time today.

It came in thru motorworld. Seems to be a nice

clean stock original car with only very minor

imperfections. Off the the Gold Coast for compliance,

the final stage.

I was also stocked when I found all the original Nissan

service manuals sitting on the drivers seat with log

book service history, and manuals on the cd player

and satellite navigation - not that I can read them :)

Genuine 80k it seems! Which is believable given 7 year old

car and Jap average km is 10k...

Hey thanks i didnt spot that and ive been looking at the car everyday

Lets hope thats al i need !

mate you are a brave man to buy a 15 year old car that is photographed sitting in 1 foot deep snow. also 1.2 million yen is madness. even 6 months ago when everyone was fighting over 15yo GTR's you would have to look very hard to find a car over 1 million. but unfortunately

aside from that the car looks 'ok' from the pics. fingers crossed for you mate. just be prepared for rust that way you'll be pleasantly surprised if it has none :(

Just got emailed that my 32 GTR will arrive on the 11th April (KLine vessel "Century Highway). Thats some 10 days away!!  

Heres my beast

:headspin:

Rust comes down to how long it's been sitting in the snow/salt and care of the previous owner. I'm sure the few months in the holding yard shouldn't be to harsh on the body work and undercarrige. Looks like a really neat GT-R. Hope all goes well for you mate.

:(

Hi Guys,

I am so hanging for my car, my car apparently landed in Brisy on the Kiwi Breeze last month on the 23rd. Seaway was saying that it was going to be getting transported down on a stacker last thursday but its still in Quarantene as we speak. Whats the deal?? Its been on the docs for over 2 weeks now!!! Is this normal?? I mean whats normal! and she keeps telling me 2 days 3 days but its taking so long! Ive been really patient since December 04 after buying the car. Does anyone know how long it takes for the transporter to get to Syd and what hours they deliver? I mean I don't want it being dropped of at a closed compliance workshop at 10pm.

Sadly, i didnt consider rust. i definently rushed too much after the changes to the 15 year rule were announced, i did not want to miss out on the car i've had my heart on for a long time. I started to realise this could be a big mistake a few weeks ago and should have got some undercar shots.

So now its fingers crossed, not long till i find out.

She rings me back 1 hour before me driving down to GreenAcre depot to see my baby for the first time and I get a call.. its Seaway and she tell me the transporter has BROKEN DOWN!!!!

Oh my god and that it won't be getting to GreenAcre until Monday sometime.! Sooooo dissapointed!! so all I can picture now is my car on a carier broken down on the side of the road over the whole weekend!

  • 4 weeks later...

Just a quick Query :)

Was told by Geoff at Prestige my car was booked on a ship and should arrive May 10th tbc, and Today recieved my 'Bill of Lading' (With K Line).

Does this mean my Car made the boat....?

Due to Golden Week in Japan I can not contact anyone atm.

Can you recieve a Bill of Lading woithout your car being on a boat...?

If it did get on thats bloody quick I bought the car on March 31st! :(

Maybe things are improving....or i'm just lucky!..?

After a bit of investigation it looks promising, my Bill of lading is Stamped on the 27/04/2005, and mentions the vessel as 'Atlantic Highway'....a quick look on Klines website reveals the following info:

Vessel: Atlantic Highway

Voyage: 0019

Port Name Direction Arrival Departure

YOKOHAMA S 26/04/2005 26/04/2005

NAGOYA S 28/04/2005 28/04/2005

NAKANOSEKI S 30/04/2005 30/04/2005

FREMANTLE N 10/05/2005 10/05/2005

DARWIN N 17/05/2005 17/05/2005

Sounds great PSI-GTSII, Yes your car did make the boat. Well done. I got my car on the March boat that came into Fremantle, and went through it all getting it on the road and all. Drop me a PM if you’re interested in recommendations and advice. You will be going through ALOT with what, a group of us who had our cars come in on the last boat, went through.

gtr90 have they got the clutch sorted ? Any arrival eta?

my car arrived, i made a page up..

    • 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.
