Skyline newbie

[Mad Scot]

Hello SAU.

This is my first post.

Just starting to get the skyline bug now. I currently own a Version 1 Subaru Impreza Wrx Sti in Silver and i will be moving out to North Perth in December.

I will be hoping to purchase a Skyline either from Perth or Imported. Though if i cant find one then i will probably stick to Scoobies.

Is there any websites for Jap Importers around Perth?

I am after a r34 GT T. Though i am not to sure if these are availible in Australia.

Can anybody help?

Thats fantastic guys,

i was over in Perth last November at a place called Mindarie Keys. Absolutely loved the place!

I couldnt help notice all the rubber trails and doughnuts in car parks, which distinctly resembled the aftermath of drifting marks?

Is this common place in your homeland?

The only good thing about living on the Isle of Man is the TT races where crazy bikers race around the Island on 37.5 miles of open roads. Plus the other good thing is that we dont have a national speed limit on the island, which is great for seeing what power your car really has.

Though there must be hundreds of events for Drifting, shows and meets in WA?

We have a few car shows a year - like Auto Salon etc where there are dyno comps and show'n'shine comps.

Drifting isnt really big here yet - there are lots of other motorsport events such as MC (like Motor Kahna), hill climbs, track racing and drags. There is more of a focus on V8 car racing in Australia rather than japanese import car motorsport. But it is getting more popular! V8's are the performance car of choice with most Australians (ie Holden and Ford).

Those black strips you saw were more than likely caused by 'trevs' in V8's just doing burnouts to impress their mates

U want 2 sell an STi and buy a GT-T?

What's wrong with u man! LoL ;-)

[noise]

why not just contact a japan car exporter directly and buy a gt-t from them? why would you pay someone else to do that? Its not that hard to pick up a phone or type and email, and plenty speak english.

I bought my GTT from AutoWholesale on the causeway there (psst - Cazisk, reckon mine was sitting next to yours when I picked it out ). There's no doubt I could have saved $$ going the import route, but hell, I'm impulse driven, what can I say!!
