just a personal thing..

I dont think this is such a good thread.

For the fact their are skyline theives everywhere, they could be reading this trying to find a certain skyline in their area to rip off. Now they can see how much the one they want to steal its worth and what mods it has.

Im so cautious these days. :D

You didnt consider removing certain parts and selling them to try make up the big short fall???

Couldn't be stuffed - I did do the sums and there was stuff all in it by the time you add labout and buying bits that I didn't have etc.

My old r33 gtst. It came with a bleed valve and king low springs.

Apart from maintenance like oil changes, plugs, brakes etc.

$500 mechanical diff

$2k semi slicks and spare wheels

They go nice though :D

Ahh, the oh so wise one:)

Mods to the car thinking you are already a sh1t hot driver...thousands.

Getting blown away by Duncan in the stocko GTST...priceless !!!

But it stopped me from sinking money into my car when Duncan started out 7 seconds a lap quicker then me with rubber being the only mod i didnt already have:(

Power Fc : $1100

Dump pipe $400

3 inch Cat $150

Air box $ 200

FMIC $1100

Actuator $200

Z32 $250

GTR Pump $170

HKS Turbo $1200

Theres at least $5k there on engine mods to get it running mid 12's , not bad when you think of it that way. What else can beat it for the money?

yeah but dude it'd be hard for potential thieves to track down the cars as no1 has posted up pics of there cars, and if people do the number plates are blurred out etc, so unless you actually knew the people that were on here posting it'd be hard to find what car is theres to steal it. ;)

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
