Hey guys,

Just thought I'd post up a little update on my cars. First bit of news is that the GTI-R has been sold :):P

3621117_1756.JPG

The funny thing is, on the same day I was going to drop it off to the new owner, my import approval arrived for this:

3621Dsc00037.jpg

and it's booked on a ship leaving japan on 20/12 and arriving in OZ on 12 January (which is when I'll be in Japan - weird). It's supposedly in very good condition and has some light mods (coil overs, clutch, wheels, exhaust, oil cooler etc).

I've also just negotiated the purchase of this for me and my girlfriend to cruise around in the mean time:

Interior pic:

and the rear end:

It's a UZZ32 Active soarer which means it comes with the active, hydraulic suspension (as opposed to the usual air bags that many V8 soarers have), and all the top of the line goodies. It has the TV, and reverse camera (very cool) and every luxo feature you can name (auto headlights, speed sensitive wipers, seat heaters, 12 stack cd stacker with lots of speakers, even a subwoofer).

So, looks like I'll be attending meets in the land yacht for a little while.

Bob: or I could get a towbar for the GTR, and race the boat! Works for John and the z-sled.

Fatz: no doubt, but this particular active just had the struts rebuilt and re-charged with hydrogen just over a month ago. :)

Duncan, yeah that diagnostic mode is so cool. Surely there must be some kind of aftermarket controller so you can make it do what you want? that would be sweet. the GTR is booked to leave Japan on 20 December, arriving 12 Jan.

cc: for sure it's sad to see the little animal go, but the new owner seems to like it as much as I did, I'm sure he'll give it a good home, and as soon as your car is sorted, and mine here, cruising will be on the cards.

GTR!!!: thanks mate, the soarer was a real find.

mal: he he, we'll see! It may seem a little tame after the XR though. :flamesuit on:

I just cant wait to get it here and sorted now.

Well boys. I picked up the soarer last night and I have to say, I'm very impressed. It is such a nice car, every possilbe luxo feature you could imagine (and some you couldn't). Also, if any of you were listening to nova this morning you may have heard a funny story about me buying the car. :)

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
