Car was shipped from Nagoya through K Line.

We're in contact with shipping company now, but they seem to want to deny everything, even though we have pics of the items in the car at the port. :)

oh ok...so the parts werent logged before they left Japan? :huh:

I would say you have no chance of getting any compensation for that mate... the shipping company isn't going to take any responsibility, they never do, it could have been somebody at the wharf on either end, could have been a tow truck driver, could have been the pest controller... I had wheels and other stuff stolen before, never got anything back.

Your car's looking good, looks a bit odd with the stocko exhaust poking through the massive hole in the rear bar, hehe... but it has a bit of rust?

rust?? on the stocko exhaust or somewhere else? An aftermarket exhaust came with the car, thats going back on once it gets to melb. There's no way l can drive a stock quiet car, drives me insane.

yeah l pretty much know l won't get anything, jsut seeing what they say first.

oh.....found out what the rust was.....was some on where the spare wheel sits, and a little bit on one of the side mirrors, supposedly a common place for it.

But it'll be all gone & sprayed before l get it back so all good.

Got stock wheels (and zorst) on it too now to clear compliance & rego .... then back on goes the 18's & zorst soon as its done.

Oh yeah.....ian, l asked him bout the safety pop rivets, and all compliance plates are now stickers, not metal, so it doesn't matter!! :P

Mine had a sticker as well (and a plate..), and it does still matter - they just won't except a sticker by itself, they will want it stamped in (in Vic). If they don't it just means who ever looked at your car isn't doing their job...

But forget vicroads, wouldn't you WANT it stamped in?! I'm certainly happy to have mine stamped! The guy around the corner from vicroads in dandenong did it for $20...

Stickers, wow, even easier to move them from car to car!

Mine is a plate, but my mates brand new WRX is a sticker. I noticed a lot of stickers on recent imports too

Pretty stupid if you ask me, to use stickers that is..

they are a single use sticker that cannot be removed in one piece ..they are a huge improvement on metal plates that can be removed and tranfered to another...not so STUPID really ..try and remove the sticker and see what happens...you will need statuatory declaration from from local dot,compliancer,and yourself + $80 to reapply for the plate you will destroy...have fun

What exactly were you refering to with that one? :)

Give me a week or so and l'll post up details, but for now l'll (and VRFour) are prolly best to leave it at that!

On another note, car is great to drive, hopefully have RWC tomorrow, and get it officially registered early next week (though l have my folio presentation so gotta work round that).

Then start bolting on & installing aftermarket parts and a stereo .... damn its boring driving without some music in the background.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk
