A 5-spd, with a sunroof, and a wheel in good condition, and the centre vent is unbroken AND it's black. Good job!

The red logo looks groovy. I really like the black GTSt's with the stock rims. My brother-in-law had one a few years back and it always looked nice without going over the top with bling like so many do these days.

Thanks for the pics mate! :cheers:

Looks pretty clean there - good work!

hope it goes well for you.. they don't like cleaning them engine bays do they in japan? ;)

go the stock rims !! :P

ooo.. blitz bov too..that will be annoying you in about a week I reckon :P

haha thanks Gordon, I love the stockers, and I'm loving the affordability of 16" tyres too... and the blitz BOV will have to get that one taken off, sitting there sparkling right at the front of the engine bay... easy defect material.

I forgot to ask them to hide the turbo timer, will be interesting to see if it turns up... when I looked at it again I noticed it was an HKS one.. doh.

ok ok ok... I am the HAPPIEST person in the world. I saw her for the first time today!!!

Went down to the compliance shop this arvo and I just couldn't wipe the grin off my face!!!! I brought a digi camera but I only got a couple of shots off before the bloody thing died. So the few photo's I have a SHIT.

ok.. well it seems to be in pretty good nick, its a little dirty, but that was expected as it has been doing alot of sitting around...

so the good things. Well my turbo timer is still there and wasn't stolen, I have the gold GT badges (factory option), what looks like a 3 inch cat back exhaust. I also think I have a cadence amp, I tried to take a pic of it, but it turned out a little blurry. The sunroof seal looks like its in pretty good condition too.

the bad things (only semi bad). The parkers work but the headlights don't, the compliance dude said he would have a look at them for me. The back speakers have been taken out of the parcel shelf. The battery is pretty flat. Theres a few bulbs that aren't working in the dash.

I booted her up and she sounds SOOOO nice, possibly the best sound in the world (hearing it for the first time). Was having a look at some of the papers inside on the floor, with some of the notes from the supplier, one of them said: "S/R not good". Does anyone know what this is?

Overall I'm really really happy, I just can't wait to drive it! I'll post up the shitty pics in a sec.

shes in my driveway now!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a little trouble booting her up, but with a little persitance from dads car we got there in the end. I managed to take her up the street so I could park it in the driveway. It's amazing, the handling is SO light! It's too dark for pics now, but I will work on it tommorow.

There is a minor electrical problem with the sunroof, it opens but dosn't close, the guy at the compliance shop showed me. I'll just have to replace the switch so it isn't too bad.

thanks mark

here's the picture of the badge, it's pretty crude as it was taken with the point and shoot camera just when the sun was going down.

Here's some more recent pics of the car, which still aren't that good.. so I will have to get some more: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=83941

Heres the thread which shows all the factory options, including the gold badges ;)http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=48934.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
