Still need to touch a few little things up and got a grill or bonnet lip, but let me know what ya think :D

cheers mate :D i think it needs a grill or something been having a look but cant seem to find alot

hey mate cars looking good

i got 555cc nismo's in mine and they run up 95% duty cycle so 800's should cover it easy only thing i would be looking into geting an 044 as my 040 was running out of flow making it go to 100% duty cycle and was making it hard to tune up top as the fuel we were trying to add was not making any difference that was on 1.3bar though. if you want to get summers to screw the boost in it i'd get a bigger pump mayb a nismo drop in or something along those lines

or go see andrew and get this done

small update for mine got r33 lower control arms for it just chassing up an r33 rack for more lock :)

heres a pic of my car as i don't post in here much

yeah the fuel system wasn't cheap but its worth it i think looks better than black fuel hose running all over the place

I picked up a skyline r32 gts4 last year, it was pretty straight bar the head gasket - and after 8 months of rebuilding, cleaning, chasing bits and some major headaches I have just stuck the rego label on the thing!

Unfortunatly a lot has changed in the last 8 months and I wont be able to keep it :) Expect a fs ad after I get some pics after the weekend.

A big, big thank you to GrandmasterB aka Ben, and Ben and Barnzey at SPGarage who all went above and beyond the call of duty helping me get the thing on the road :)

Car is looking good Ian.

Fuel set up is mint Brewer, who's handy work???

Glad to hear you finally got the old girl registered Dave, hope you have a chance to get out for a drive and enjoy it before you sell it mate :P

My car is booked in for rego inspection next week so if all goes well will be back on the road before next weekend.... Paid the deposit of the new car yesterday and also hoping to pick that up before next weekend and i sold a car which is getting picked up next weekend lol.

come on ben fill us in :bunny: haha does that mean you will have a car that is road rego'd for the skyline cruise :)

I heard about your run in with the fuzz :P

You sure its not a self clearning defect???

nah it has a form on the back of the letter stating, must be signed & stamped by a AIS (approved inspection station)

of all the things they could "do" me for, i'm glad it was the plates. and hey, I was given verbal cautions god knows how many times.

got screwed last monday (queens b'day)

I have learn't, On long w'ends and or public holidays, car stays in garage lol

in other news, gonna be painting the Ol' beast pretty soon. And doing the wheels too.

Going to bare metal the whole car, epoxy it and flow coat it.

    • 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.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
