I know it's not a Skyline, but after selling my R32 (3rd one I have owned haha) I decided to try a GD WRX which was definitely not the car for me, So I recently sold that and bought this....

1999 Mitsubishi Evolution VI (6) RS-2

She's basically a stock Grade 4 except for a HKS turbo timer, HKS Titanium exhaust and HKS Hipermax-Pro coilovers.

She arrives early next month!

R33 Vspec with some nice little mods, nothing major and just 85kms.

Wow, i take it that pic is after a detail.... but that looks brand new and in pristine condition! Cleanest one i have seen in a pic. Well done!

Does it drive as good as it looks? And who did you import through if you dont mind me asking! Nice!!

lol, sorry my lazy typing. it's got 85,000kms. yep it does drive very well, very nice interior too.

dizzle, car was bought by Mark Hocking of mytrading.

Nice, i to went through Mark.. glad to see he is still producing the goods!! Awesome car mate, congrats.. u must be rapt!

The first pics of my new baby.

Yep, I know it's auto, but I'm allowed. I'm 30, 2 kids, and drive 80k's a day in sydney traffic :-)

Besides, give's me a reason to winge to the Minister of Finance and Anything to do with Cars, for a GTR to muck around with on weekends.

Congrats on the new toy Bobby, I saw that one come through on the mailing list :rofl:

Thanks Nick,

Can't wait to get it here. I was tossing up between a V35 and an R33 Series 3 GTR, but the daily driver thing made me go for this.

Seeing Barons GTR above though makes me have second thoughs :-)

Arrghh!!

Can't believe you still take cars to Crystal in Chatswood. Don't get me wrong though - if I wanted more scratches in my paint from dirty old rags that's my number 1 destination.

lol, I don't take the 32 there (and never have since the paint work).... enough said. actually when I'm too lazy to wash the 32 I drive all the way to SCW on broadway!!

they actually did a decent job for me on this car though. I only went there as it was massively filthy (sent on a truck from SA).

Hey beer baron,

first off car looks great...

How were your dealings with mark hocking? have you used his services b4 to import a car? i was curious as in a couple editions of HPI they pretty much say he is the best there is when it comes to importing a car from japan.

Also curious to what the end product cost you to bring over ? if you dont mind listing the total cost to get in up and running in NSW

So now you have a R32 and R33 GTR on a nice cool sunday morning which car gets first choice to hit the street?

T

hey mate, yes i've dealt with mark before and never had any problems. he's been a friend of mine for a couple of years now so of course I wouldn't say any different but having been with him to auctions in japan i know he is good at what he does. no doubt about it.

as for that sunday morning question it's a tough one. yesterday I drove to work and took the lexus. after work I went home and was heading out to dinner with some friends. I thought about the 32, but decided on the 33 instead. it looks a bit less boy racer, and is quieter, and has softer suspension so is much easier to drive around town. but if I was heading up through the hills instead of to crows nest for dinner then I would be in the 32 no doubt. but they are very different cars. my 32 is extensively modified, the 33 is fairly standard.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
