Found this in a car yard when I was in Dubai last time. 4000km on the clock. Appart from being dirty and someone had badged it, It was like brand new and went for a steal. 110,000 Dirham's. That converts to around $40,000 aus. I couldn't believe it. I was a day late, It had already been bought by a mad Scottsman that was working over there. Dubai is a great place f you want to get really cheap car's.

I believe John's old R34GTR came from Dubai

.... and those photos of the red R34GTR - 4,000km my ass - it had a big single aftermarket turbo on it .... you don't do that to a brand new car - surely???!!!!

Oh, and Hi Greg, hope your Middle East trip is going well! ;)

they also wear some pretty weird clothes. i havent seen anyone in a white looking kimono in a 10 second gtr before. if they are as fanatical as their cars as they are in their attire then we should see some crazy cars from the middle east soon. good to see the skylines are getting some world-wide recognition that they deserve!!

It does take a bit to get used to, them wearing the white x-ray gowns.

Either way, I'd tend to stay away from Dubai, I understand it is very much Westernised but none the less there is still a high risk.

I thought the same until i was there. It is just a big westernised tourist city and the locals know it. Had no problems over there. But, everyone has their own opinion on the matter:)

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
