thanx for the positive comments guys. as im actually overseas atm, my broker is doing everything for me.( they probally washed it).

my broker owns a RAW workshop so i think he is gonna put on a stock exhaust for the compliance. thanx for that any way. if there is a problem, ill let u know. :D

really looking forward to cruising with some of u and meeting some other skyline owners. haha

Nice Blue dude.

Heres my Prince (im sorta against neo Nissan cos of the whole rivalry between Renault [owners of Nissan] and McLaren [i live n breath this F1 team], so i refer to them as Prince Skylines, Datsun Zeds etc.)

Now that is Fresh Japan. So dusty u can carve it.

I was thinking about getting the bonnet cut n try n fix some sorta Grille (doesnt hafta be a GTR grille, as i kno the GTR dudes will pay me out). As u can see the dent doesnt look too good.

Also, the wheels n windows are gonna get as black as legally possible.

Fremantle Docks.... nearly home :P

Hey Ron

Im actually still waiting for it. Just made the payment about 3 weeks ago.

It is more expensive than the last car i've imported (300zx @ 300,000 Yen came to $3k, the skyline @ 250,000 Yen came to $3.2k, but thats just exchange rates with 12 months different.)

I just gotta hope that the shipping price n tax etc. will be under $3k as well, to match up with Prestige Motorsports estimate. My last broker was off by about $300-400.

so we'll hafta see.

i though ur car has already landed. its a pretty good price. hope everything goes well.

when was the exchange rate 100 yen per AUD??12 months ago mate it was 80 yen per AUD. in fact in recents weeks the rate of 90 yen per AUD is the best it's been as far back as i can remember.

i bought some for around 86 per AUD when i had to pay for my car. would be pretty good if it was 100.

Yeah, I wish too. If I'd gotten my arse into gear back in December I'd have saved a few hundred.

Just blew my wad of yen at 85 to the $ on this old thing from Hokkaido. Supposed to have R33 N1 motor and R34 N1 snails.

89 model R32 got here via Kiwi and Toll car carriers yesterday and came through with only the boost guage nicked, which I'm happy with as they didn't touch the boost controller, turbo timer or the hand controller. They didn't nick the TE37's either and there are no new scratches or dings that I can see.

I'll post pics soon as this is what the thread is about I suppose.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the smilies menu from the post reply screen? They're giving me the shiites.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
