hey riaz!!! everyone is telling me there is no way i am going to get my car back the way I was talking to you about it..... :D i guess I shouldnt get my hopes up

do you know what skylines go for at auctions - one with a rear end hit (about $500 damage)... is there a big market for them?

thanks so much for the advice though - I am still going to try

you dont find any skylines at any auctions unless they are write offs.

usually to find one at a regular auction means the owner is not online and thinks the auction is a good way to get alot of money for a car.

i reckon still make the phone calls, like we talked about. it ideally all comes back to what percentage the car represented in the loan agreement as to what they want for it. but seriously cos you know the value and roughly what you are gonna pay, dont stress.

put the question out there. how many people have been through your situation and tried to buy their car back, would you even get 1 answer thats a yes.

i havent done that either, but I do know what goes on behind the scenes 85% of the time

i think you will fine.

I am going to phone the guys case manager from the bank - the one I have spoken to at least oncea week and I am going to do what you said - offer the reserve... but this is a $18000 car for like a $30 - 40000 loan... dont ask me how, what etc hahah all I know is that he used the skyine as security for the loan or whatever. So the bank will want to get as much as poss... which worries me that they think they will get more than the reserve at auction.

Dumb privacy act is preventing me getting too much info - but the copper that i have pressed charges with was a cop with my dad... so he has been getting alot of info for me

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
