Nissan adds to the Heritage program
Steve85 replied to Silverhks's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Hoping for some more R33 parts myself. Still it is amazing that this is occurring and I can't wait to see what they produce next. -

Welcome, I too was once new here; Odometer checks can be completed as below. A couple of members have used them to good effect. http://www.japanesehistorycheck.com/

Congrats on your new car. Stock life is a rare thing here. Would love to see some pictures if you're keen to share.

Aww. No googling? Ok, never mind. Sounds like you've done pretty well picking up Volks for $400. -
Bills 33 Gtst Streeter/track Car
Steve85 replied to admS15's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Congrats on another child! Hope all is well. Bad luck on your gearbox. Sounds like some pretty crappy luck there. And for the record, i think you've made the right choice paying a bit more for something brand new. Plus you've now got a bunch of spare components (minus third). [emoji16] -
Nismo Rims question
Steve85 replied to Nikkirosee's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Send through a picture of the bacl of the wheel. I fancy myself a bit of a google slueth. Normally there's a bunch of part numbers stamped into the wheel. You can normally trace the part number to a brand. -
The Stock R33 GTR
Steve85 replied to Steve85's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Solid advice and a cheap solution to my problem. Unfortunatly I did not do this though. [emoji848] Found a reasonbly priced ctek charger. Purchased that and put it onto the battery. Gotta love plug in cars! [emoji16] -
The Stock R33 GTR
Steve85 replied to Steve85's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
For those of you who mentioned the lack of cleanliness (hehe) in the video that I created for this car, here are some pictures post wash; Also as is pretty evident, the car hasn't gone anywhere yet. Still haven't even put the plates on it. All that's happened is it's killed a battery, so I have taken apart the boot and have put a charger in. You've probably all seen these images already. But i know you're all suckers for images, and who am I to deny you! -
Steve's R33 LM Limited Upkeep
Steve85 replied to Steve85's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Hi all, Proof that she still runs! (fyi: this is 10kph in 2nd gear). Took a friend out in the car for some cruising around a month or so back. My friend and I drove around for a few hours, I really started to come to grips with the car. In particular new brake pads have really helped to give me a lot more confidence in the car. It's always a bit of a shock getting into it, as it's so low, so loud and importantly fast! As always I've been keeping a low profile thanks to work and family. Just recently someone, managed to get his Championship Blue GTR impounded at a fairly decent speed. Think i'll just continue to lie low for a few weeks. For those of you who are expecting big changes... none. Even though I had the fuel system moved around, i still haven't built the interior of the boot or got to work on the stereo. (in fact, points off for me, as I took apart my wifes car to access the battery). For the most part, I just go out and stare at it in the garage. It makes me feel happy seeing it in the driveway (and less guilty for not driving it). Edited Version.mp4- 129 replies

This car is looking so damn good now. Absolute credit to you. ? -
What are your buying and selling plans?
Steve85 replied to Steve85's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Nice. Looks really clean, you sure do move quickly on these things. Here's the rest of us procrastinating while you're busy tearing it up. -
Ok. No worries. But twisting and taping wires should be punishable with a jail sentance. Whoever did this prior to you, hasn't done it right, i hope you can clean it up and it doesn't cause you any problems.

This sounds like a solid plan! [emoji16][emoji23] -
Not normally a 4wd fan. But keen to see how this goes. [emoji16]

Steve85 replied to Steve85's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Thanks for pushingthe thread back on topic. If you're in Melbourne (or elsewhere i guess) and are serious about a racecar, I'd be keen to see the Audi go to a good home. It's just wasting away with me. PM me if you like. [emoji16] -
What are your buying and selling plans?
Steve85 replied to Steve85's topic in General Automotive Discussion
That's still speculative though. It's only based on historic evidence and could potentially go wrong for those of us who are looking to make a few bucks. Not that i disagree mind you, but you never know. My theory is these are the "muscle cars" of our era. I'll pay good money for GTR, but your V8 HSV, Ford or even C63? I'll give you five dollars. -

You don't trust Skyline GTR sellers? They know what they got. Hahaha. -

This seems like good general life advice... ? -
What are your buying and selling plans?
Steve85 replied to Steve85's topic in General Automotive Discussion
This regret is what i'm worried about. The Silver one, not so much as it shouldn't be driven or modded. But the LM. Yeah, i don't know. -
From what i can tell, most of us have a plans up our sleeve to buy new (old) cars and sell cars that we have right now. I know that most car people have at least one of these plans in their heads. What is your plan? I'll go first: A lot of my car actions are dictated by the Melbourne housing market. To buy a decent inner city house (read; hipsterville), i'm going to need to offload at least 3 of our cars (i don't have $2M or more, so more than 2 cars is a non starter). Potentially sell the Silver and Blue GTRs in 3-5 years. Sell both wagons to other people. Maybe sell the race car, depending on what i feel like (it's not worth shit, so it can stay or go). If I clear out the driveway, i'll be looking to add an E61 M5 (the wagons with a V10) to the house.

Welcome. Sweet car and colour. I love wagons, there's plenty of others here who do as well. Check in this section for more in depth stuff: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/forum/82-wagoneers/ Do you want to tell us the story of how you go it? Did it all go smoothly? I imagine you've been waiting for a while to have it delivered (although i don't actually know). Looking forward to more pics and details.
