there you go... fixed up the true identity of this wanton woman

Just for that I'm gonna come knocking on your door with a bottle of scotch and something for you to jam under my cluster. Anywho, turns out the roadworthy guys, VICroads and the engineer didn't need the airbox fitted, so I went ahead and got it all sorted out. Thanks for the offers in any case guys.

FAIL... sif real women go on forums to look for guys. I scrolled right to the bottom, so I haven't even read the crap you wrote. Pitiful effort.

http://skylinesdownunder.com/index.php?opt...6&Itemid=57 bit much by today's standards for a front bumper... and its a little too 1998 for my liking.

yes please.

made some makeshift user bars for the usergroups... i'll change em when i get the chance to make something prettier.

fixed... fkn finally. stupid emailing script... had to hand trace the bloody thing. gaaah hate going thru other people's code. added user group icons as well to forum display and profile display. need some sleep now.

wow... looks good.

NismoR32 (who's R32 took out best R32 in the SAU VIC show n shine) had a factory black lip on his white GTR. It look teh hotness. plus its easy to fix with some bumper black when you run shit over.

gotta be in it to win it... when one comes up you just have to snap it up. If you know its worth the money and rare, then you gotta have a budget that'll win you the car at auctions. but yeah, most people end up buying a silver one

Yeah worst purchase ever... drove it for all of 1 week back in 1999, gave it back to the dealer I got it from, was good in a way that I drove it though, because it got me researching into imports, and got me where I am now with imports and cars.

lol when I was driving a Toyota Sera my gf wore some short skirts... she always borrowed my jacket when gettin out.

its from new zealand, can't remember the name of the company though. hope that helps.

didn't happen to run a silvia with an R34 front into a wall recently did ya?

R32 GTS4's and GTR's came standard with em, unless you requested not to get it from the factory. All the others had em optional after late 1989.

There's nothing unique about the Type M other than the sticker on the back. You take an R32 GTSt, it has optional upgrades available when you buy it new from the showroom, like a sports bumper, sideskirts, bigger brakes, alloy wheels etc. You take these optional upgrades, then bundle em into a package, and offer it to customers for slightly less than what it'd cost to get em all seperately. Now you're gonna need a name for this package... and you can't call it "OMGWTFLOL" coz no one wants to drive an "R32 GTSt OMGWTFLOL", so you call it something sporty... you call it a "Type M"... so generations of people who consequently buy the cars run around thinking they have some special car called the "R32 GTSt Type M" when all they have is a base model with a handful of factory extras... all of which are available on the base model. You also get to sit back and chuckle in amusement as the occasional village idiot then starts calling his "R32 GTSt Type M" a "M Spec R32 GTSt". /end rant

lol if I can find em... I posted em back in 2004 gotta see if I can dig em up.

I would... cept I'm keepin my cars all with VIC reg sif get a roadworthy cert every year and deal with multicoloured slips for different things.... most. confusing. registry. process. ever. Hey Kaz, do you mind if I come pick it up tomorrow morning? I'll give you a call beforehand. Redid the booking for monday, gonna get the engineer to redo the cert on friday, and should be 100% fine then. Which means I'll be comin to the breakfast meet in a Hyundai

will look at the 480V. shopping around atm. I have a shortlist of what I need in an alarm. And as I said I would prefer a DEI alarm as i've got some mates who are DEI technicians and salespeople. Just trying to sus out if this import unit is as good as the local one. AFAIK almost all DEI products use the same interface and control module, so a battery backup siren from a local "brain" unit will work with the import one right? Not particularly, as my insurance company just needs a single point immobiliser and don't even require black wiring... which was odd, but I got them to write it on the contract, just so there was no confusion on the matter when it came time to claim. In any case, after talking to my mates who work for DEI a bit more, after all the name calling and threats of not coming to anything I invite em to if I bought the import unit, I'll probably end up with a locally sold DEI ATM I've been recommended a 460XV (blackwired) or 560XV (regular) from Viper, or a Hornet 563T... Need remote start, plus maybe windows up/down for ventilating the car before getting in, and I don't need 2 way communication... might get GPS/GSM later down the track as an add on module (I've been told these ones are compatible). Need it to work with the turbo timer (or have one inbuilt) and possibly have some aux outputs for further addon modules in the future. Oh and I like simple remotes that don't get pressed while in your jeans.... not ones that you can play tetris on. Simple arm, disarm, windows up/down, remote start is all I need on my alarm.

Hey guys, looking to get an alarm for the latest R32... I'm partial to DEI products as I've had good experiences with them on previous cars, like their expandability, support network and features. As such, I have access to the 791XV at wholesale price through a mate who works at DEI, but what "alarmed" me was the fact that you could buy the same alarm form the US and have it shipped here for about 2/3rds the price of the one sold here. Now my mate from DEI has filled me in on the differences in parts, the fact that they are B Grade alarms made for distribution in parts of the world like Mexico etc, and if there are any faults that DEI australia will not touch them even if you pay them to fix it. What I want to know is if anyone in Australia has actually ordered one of these overseas units, and if they've had any issues with them, reliability etc. More than keen to find out if it is worth saving a couple of hundred bucks on a product of the same specifications as the locally sold model. The whole thing sounds very similar days back when owning an import was frowned on because "they're cars made for another country, and they don't have warranties in Australia, no support, no one will ever fix em etc."... now working for a car importer and helping run a forum for imports I know how bollocks that statement turned out to be.

yahuh I'll fill you guys in on it once I get the sample that I've been promised in a couple of weeks.

The parts are half out of the newer GS 300 in Australia, the 2JZ's similar to the supra (altho the aristo's came out before the supras... so half the time when you buy a supra engine, chances are it came out of a much cheaper Aristo). 1UZFE is the same as in soarers, GS 400's and in landcruisers. They're toyota engines, and if they're still in stock form and maintenanced regularly (log books help with this) then they're pretty reliable. Modded engines, dunno. Keep in mind these are commonly used as family cars, not 15yr old shitheap GTR's that have been thrashed to an inch of their life Only parts I can forsee having trouble sourcing is panels... but given that these things are cheap as chips and plentiful, I predict a rush of em comin into the country in the near future.

we got a limited edition run of these not long ago I organised a run of SAU caps not long ago to sell on the forum (not for the clubs) to raise money for hosting etc, but it sorta died in the arse... might look into it again. More recently been looking into some keys... will fill you in on that soon.

put it this way... if this is the only supercar you can afford, then this is not the car for you we came across this one for sale, so we thought we'd throw it up for shits and giggles. Last time we put a mercedes gullwing on our mailing list for shits and giggles (not this prototype one, the older one) the Fox Museum ended up buying it. So you never know.

here's some of the standout examples we've come across (either really cheap, nicely modded, hard to find colours/options etc) http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/index.php?search=aristo we get over a 150 each day at auctions and more thru used car dealerships, so there's no shortage of em... I'll go outside and see if I can take some pics of the interior. The one I'm driving dosen't have the leather interior, its all velour.
