What's that meant to mean? Tangomatt's car is one of the best R34 GT-Rs in Australia! I was happy to help GTRRKT import but in the end, I thought tangomatt's car would be a better option than importing a mint Nur that would be too nice to drive and would sit in the shed.

I'd be happy with that interior, that's some awesome trim work. My only complaint now is - why try and sell it off the back of the Z-Tune? Why not forge their own path? It needs a unique body kit and wheels.

For $265K, I'd be picking up a tidy VS2 from auction in Japan then sending it to Omori to get closer to the real deal...

In the end, it's a more exacerbated example of my car - if you drive it around, its value will plummet like a stone, so it just sits in the shed, increasing in value admittedly, but it still sits in the shed.

Having a read of his 'interests', I'd say the latter...

What colour????

My suggestion - if you're doing it for potential profit, don't bother. I've already listed the Insignia on SEVS, and they will be released here as an Opel by the time you bring one back...if you just want it for your own enjoyment, then go for it, they're awesome cars.

I've spent plenty of time with people with depression, many of whom have committed suicide, and I can tell you now that there's no rhyme or reason to how people do it or what they do or say leading up to it. I certainly wouldn't be playing the "well that's not how people act before they commit suicide" card. This wasn't a swipe at you personally btw - more at the people who think others are bluffing when they threaten suicide and try to call them on it. Like I said, I've had friends commit suicide and I'd much rather look like a dick for defending an attention-seeker than be going back through my posts wondering if something I said contributed to another human being taking their own life. And that's fine, IP ban him if necessary. See above.

Even if it was parked next door to the power plant Terry, any fallout would've turned to regular old dust even before it was washed for transport to Aus. Quarantine has been quietly doing checks on cars coming in from Japan recent times and has found nothing. Water damaged cars aren't a problem if they're completely stripped down and rebuilt, but the people who tend to buy them don't buy them as projects, they buy them to make a quick buck. As a result, they take short cuts and you end up with cars that work fine when you buy them, then smell mouldy and start having random electrical problems down the track. Water damage generally comes from rivers, and being fresh water it doesn't cause an issue for rust. In the case of the tsunami, however, there are plenty of near-the-ocean cars that were borderline rusty that will now be much worse as a result of getting salt water through them. The flooded cars were already at auction under a week after it happened, but they're clearly marked and most of them are Kei cars and normal Japanese runabouts, not top end sports cars.

For all the stupidity, I don't like joking around when people threaten suicide guys, some things are more important than your keyboard warrior status...

lol wish I could copy-and-paste PMs right now...someone's having kittens...

Those front guards are hideous btw

Dude, you're in BIG strife lol

Didn't I already say this elsewhere? I'm getting dejavu! Yes a workshop in Sydney is prepared to do one if someone provides a test car.

Hi guys, We got a call this morning from Auburn City Council advising us that due to the recent heavy rains, Silverwater Park was closed to all sport activities this week, and wouldn't be suitable for cars to drive on this Sunday. They don't want their grounds getting wrecked so we have to accept their assessment of the situation. (We don't want cars getting bogged on there either, especially if it meant we had to pay for repairs to the reserve). The plan at this stage is postpone the event - we're looking at either holding off till spring, or doing it in a few weeks' time (which will put us fairly close to winter). Like you guys, this has caused enormous inconvenience (and cost!) for us, so please be patient with us while we sort out a new date. We'll let you know as soon as we have more information. Cheers The AJD crew

I won't be, only because it's my birthday, and I probably won't be in a fit state to do much of anything We're running at about 150 entries at the moment v 310 in Adelaide, so for obvious reasons, we'd rather have the good stuff parked on the reserve rather than in the carpark - if it's anything like Adelaide, it's probably cheaper to display it than park it anyway

The boot size of a Territory is bigger than virtually every other SUV-style car on the market, I'm not sure what car you're looking at, unless it's a 7-seater with all the seats up...there aren't too many cars that have three rows AND good boot space...I tried to convince her on an E51 but we do too much dirt road driving for a people mover (especially an Autech Rider slammed with 20s) and the Delica D:5 is gutless. For philosophical reasons, I'd rather avoid a Holden or a Ford, I don't mind the VW Amaroks, I'll be test driving one soon.

lol that goes without saying

Just over a week to go guys! Updates: the guys from Mighty Car Mods will be attending the show and making a vid - make sure you enter your cars guys, we don't want to be seeing good stuff parked in the carpark!

That GIF is freaking me out, Rowan...

lol next you'll be suggesting a Z32 Fairlady...

Yeah it's gradually being cut down.
