still havent got mine.. but will see next couple of days.

The tape must be the latest in Japanese rice.. I also have a bunch of receipts and a KFC receipt in Japanese, how exciting Will and Scott are on the money.. it *is* stimps old engine.. not the twin turbo one (i hope!) but the other one he had... I'm going to take those off at some point and get them polished or anodised. Where do you get this purpsol or prepsol stuff?

mine arrived today actually.. nearly 4 months exactly from initial payment to delivery in my driveway.. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...d.php?p=1099298 Hmm, i wonder if yours Godzilla32 was the one on the same truck.. there was a grey r32 on the same car carrier that dropped off my car.. Never know, maybe he was on his way to VIC ? would make sense timing wise if he left today..

Thanks guys.. its not perfect as you can see, but that is part of the challenge and fun of building it up from stock into a beast exactly the way I want it I will try bigKev - hope it works.. I think because the bonnet latch needed bending back down (2 minute fix) they taped it all down.. *shrug* Its annoying whatever the reason! RB25 is going in probably late jan. Its pretty much ready to go though and i have the loom, ecu, etc... no idea about that plenum mod, old owner said he had no problems (but was only running mild power levels). Harder to change than leave be unfortunately, so guess its staying. Goal is around 240-270rwkw once that goes in, so shall be interesting. Yotis: if yours was on the same boat, it should be any day now. On the car carrier that came down here, there was another grey R32, so there are a few going through.

sideview: my car is attacked by warfie graffiti artists.. *grunt* ... and the coupe de' grace going in sometime in the next 6 months.. along with a manual box.. then lots of performance fun:

Photos! I hate cloth tape!! Look, its the tiger car. Note the dodgy japanese repair job on the bonnet: Engine needs a wash soonish, otherwise not too bad. ass..

Well after paying for the car in late July, late November, and the car finally has been delivered today!! Was pretty exciting to see the car carrier come deliver it today direct to my door. Still needs to go through compliance, most of which I'm going to do myself I think, so its going to be a few weeks before its on the road. I'm in no hurry though with xmas and things coming up. Overall pretty happy with the condition. No rust, no signs of any major accident, and interior is pretty great condition throughout. Most things seem to work ok. Started her up, and the ol' rb20det seems to run nicely and smoothly, with no major issues I can see so far. Unfortunately with no compliance yet, its not going anywhere much further than the driveway. Needs a clean and general tidy up over the next few weeks.. and if I ever find out the #@$#@$#@ who decided to sticky tape up the bonnet they're in trouble! Because cloth tape is an absolute BITCH to remove! (any suggestions???) Paint has a few minor scratches and things but for a car 15 years old, as good as you'd expect. Only disappointment I guess is looks as if something has rubbed against it, or even suspiciously looks like a key mark along the rear left quarter .. that was never in the original condition report or photos Sometime its going to need the bonnet redone (probably replaced with a GTR or CF job), and the rear side resprayed. Maybe even a full respray. But oh well, for the price I no complain.. few hundred bucks will fix all that some day. This car will never be about the looks anyhow.. For $7200 so far (yes, really, landed and to my door), you can't really complain

where 'bouts in melb are you?

the pedal box includes, clutch, brake pedal, and accelerator. ok then.. how much you selling the full manual conversion for? Could pay now, pickup december..

ahhh.. better decide if I am going at the last second.. I have a feeling I'll be playing with the new car all weekend

took pix at home, will post em tonight.. needs bonnet resprayed (going to go GTR bonnet anyhow) and left 1/4 resprayed (scratches).. but still for $7200 who is complaining!

sdm33.. lol - i had one for r33 but turfed it out i think.. i remember i did pull the hose off it was attached to.. it may still even be attached, not sure. it looks like a little resistor thing.

A1 is like huge.. it goes A2 is twice the size of A3.. and then A1 is massive. What are the posters for anyhow? Hey, MY NEW CAR IS IN NOW IN MY DRIVEWAY!! Will post up some pix tonight.. is not perfect, but for the most part pretty good condition. It even ran when I started her up. Will need a bit of work here and there, but let the fun begin!

This is what we need.. a) good photos (photopost!! just for you Mr dave lol) B) part numbers c) any useful replacement info (e.g. VL AFM plug fits Z32 AFM) d) good moderation, to keep non-related talk out e) where to find (if not nissan directly) It will save people so much time....

lol.. well true, anybody who gets into the shower with me is asking for trouble! man this is going off on a crazy tangent.. I think I had better leave now
