yes i bought it so cheap you couldnt even import a stock auto at that price, i have calculated the cost to take mods off then put it back on. Mine is also white, its a total stock looker on the outside.  

I already bought R34 GTR wheels for it and full GTR kit. If i have cash ill do a pearl gold, pink or some other funky colour paint job over it. Hopefully it will arrive on the 11th may but people will see a lot of this car in the city, ill definately make it stand out since there are too many skylines around. heres a couple of pics, oh anyone by anychance have any idea what turbo it could be(i know its hard to c)? Supplier said its a garret though...

my car is not very modified and i got defected the other day and now have to go to regency, if i were u with an engine bay like that, mainly looking at the high mount turbo i would be trying to keep my car as inconspicuous as possible, i'm currently in the process of trying to sell my 18's due to this fact! just my 2c

If i were you i would keep it stock lookin

If you want to stay out of cop trouble then i keep it that way!

On another note that is a nice buy dude, can't wait to see it out, PLUS stay away from the city!

An external gate through the city would be, um, attention getting

From my experience i think you'll find you'll need to add another $2800 or so for landed price. But thats still good buying.

not really, i record a lower purchase price to reduce 10% duty plus another 10%gst on top and i also have my own agents to do paperwork to save even more.

Yeh the top mount is a concern once the cops pop open the hood and worried the BOV will draw to much attention, thinking of a plumback. I dont know about being picked on with 18in tho, i had them on my 300zx for 6 months and had no trouble, i also drive into city a lot but will scrap the cf bonnet and paint job idea:(

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      New Skyline will be RWD and manual

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
