This is my Paul Newman Version, as it was purchased.

I have been told it's unique in Australia as it's a signature series.

2 tone paint with the signature on the lower front wheel arch.

From all the pics of the other cars in Australia I am yet to see one the same as this.

TO ALL THE SPY'S

Have you seen another??????? and if so where?

Thanks Jono,

I know of this one, it's all over white and lives in Canberra these days and owned by a guy named Zeb.

We have conversed on a number of occassions.

There is a 4Dr in Qld and George Bryant's in NZ plus mine of coarse.

Last time I did the rounds I think we found existence of 5 maybe, but wasn't very many.

Thanks.

My friend who lived in the house behind mine bought a PNV on almost exactly the same day I bought my DR lol.

His was mint, all white, silver and black interior and it had the signatures

Adam,

Where is the car today?

Can you get him to or can you put all his information Year Model, Build Date, Chassis Number, Model designation, Colour codes, Trim code,

Engine number, rego number and where it is today with a contact number if possible, as this is #4 in OZ that I can find knowledge on.

He sold it because he's a douche... Bought an Integra because the Skyline was "too expensive to run".... then the Intergra was stuffed so he bought a CA18DE Silvia with a stuffed engine.... put a bloody SR20DET in it then sold it because it was rubbish, and finally bought a MX5 Clubman. The Skyline was way better than any of the others (except maybe the MX5)

I've got a feeling it was an 85, it would just have a PNV coupe model code, same paint code as my car, trim code would be the same as Zapata's car.

Does SA have the same privacy laws as we do in NSW where you cant trace the car through the rego.

Does it still reside in SA and do you see it around, as it would be nice to have all it's facts on my register.

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
