hehe.. yes, note my ever so snide protest for a while. The sigs are back out of the box folks!

err..didn't you check the rims really closely when you bought them?

how old are you boys? you're not much over the age of 20 are you??

Anyhow James.. as I am no longer of Victorian residence - I'll send you a distant HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATE!! lol.. something we outta know about? Or maybe James does? hehe

its crap! was it an accident.. anyhow, notice my little note on the matter

I think they have to have 2 to 3 independent sightings for them to investigate the car though. It was the case like that in VIC. But there they were too busy targetting imports and sending them to the EPA, rather than worrying about the old cars. To be honest I don't see too many up here that meet that criteria, but there are a few rough ones around.

hehe.. why do i have a feeling this might end in a severe case of :flamed: been nice seeing you on these forums ylwgtr2.. dibs on the GTR, even if it is in pieces atm.

its about time somebody got a pic and did that isn't it Labelled like everything for new guys so they know what everything is. Took me a while to learn it, and I still don't know what lots of the bits are.

Mostly was too dark to take proper shots, as you can see from these brilliant pieces. ska: they could well be cast iron. Mine has been replaced at some point... they look kinda cast. I think I remember hearing that the control arms between the R33 and aussie 200SX (s14) are the same. So if that is the case shouldn't be too hard to get them. I don't think its too difficult to replace them either, if you can get the parts maybe a 2 hour job. Bit of bitch, but well, shouldn't cost you too much in the end.

:upurs:

ooo yeah. . what a lovely couple Thats because its AP Engineering. Apexi just gives them the basic electronics and they tailor them for the RB20. e.g. garratt and HKS. All I know about any Apexi stuff bought locally..very expensive! Is this place new? It was never there 2 months ago when I worked in that area.

o2 sensor or AFM related problem.. sounds like. When the ECU goes into "open loop" mode after certain revs and starts reading from the AFM and o2 sensor

Its also interesting that most people on here are probably in the position here where they *could* sell their skylines, and have a bit of a punt on an 1989 vehicle. Not everybody is doing that, so obviously there is a bit of caution out there. Modified as to unmodified reliability is an interesting one. While on one hand you'd assume a non-modified example would be less "thrashed", less likely to have been doing hard track, drift, or whatever other work in Japan, its not a guarantee. On the other, much of the time owners of a modified vehicle tend to take more care of the car as its what they put a lot of money into it, getting it tuned, fixing problems, using proper grade oils, etc. In the end, I think its probably not going to be very long at all before the stopper is put on the 1989 cars by the government. And once that happens, once the remaining ones arrive in Australia -- it will just be a question of condition. Already locally you can pay maybe $28k - $40k for a R32GTR depending on year, modifications, etc. In the end it will be the same for the 1989 cars as potentially 2nd local buyers will be able to get them evaluated, mechanically tested, etc before purchase, however they're more likely to come at the lower end of the scale simply because of year. You definitely can't go on km.

yeah, I remembered a 16" will fits. Just that it comes up really high. Hence why its called a "space saver"

Just get a 6 or 12 month lease an apartment of your choice, lie to the realestate agent (they do that without blinking so here's a chance to get your own back), and as long as the place is fairly nice and you give them a fair bit of notice and say "my job now wants me to go back", when they find another suitable tenant you can move out. Like I said if its a nice place it will only take 2-3 weeks to find another tenant. I had to do it once when they were just butts and wouldn't give a short-term lease to me.

um... you were posting about this two weeks ago and you continued to try and drive it?!.. Sometimes it does pay to listen to people's advice: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=34256 well now you've probably done more damage.. to the head as well most likely = more money for you. Just get a whole new engine, I think you may need it.

.. its generally as most people have the night free, whereas friday and saturday nights they generally have other plans and the streets are too busy. Its never really too late anyhow. Last one I was at home by 12am. but thats cool

The one that says "Thursday night meet 26/02/04" yeah, its down yatala.. although that isn't too far actually. I been out to ipswitch area a few times, only takes 30mins. Everythign seems a lot closer here i guess to me, getting around melb was a bitch at anytime.

no.. it came out very wrong You coming tonight?

meh.. if i wanted a mega-fast sports car all i'd have to do is sticky tape my etag to my windscreen ! too easy..

hmmm..interesting.. looking at the trading post here.. basically NO turbo S13 under $10k. Not even any CA18DET's. They're all n/a and what hothead p-plater wants an n/a?? Methinks its time gordo got rid of the baggage that is the skyline aand went into the importing business!!

in answer to previous query.. This russian site (!) but seems to be fairly accurate.. R33 GTS: Price when new: 2,413,000yen = ~$28726AUD with the current aussie exchange rate R33 GTS-T type-M : Price when new: 2,898,000 = ~ $34,500 R33 GTR (non v-spec): Price when new: 4,545,000 yen = ~$54,100 Guess the range is similar between a base level commondoor, GTS-T comes in at around V8 base commondoor level and GTR = about entry level Statesman here i guess.

just need the door painted and aligned a little better.. front guard painted.. and i'm going to get 400R sideskirts to go on.. and flog the others I've got on currently off. Should only be under $1k, but no money = no fix. Let me know of a good place if you find one that fixes yours. May take mine there too.

that was quick ! Yours will be fixed quicker than mine ..

if slip has paid membership that will be good. Even if its only $20 or something.. bit of money for somebody to play with organise some fun events. few $ from that can go to Prank and SAU
