Not gutted j/k what sort of flanges do you need on the cat, or does it not matter? I have a 3 inch gutted cat with no flanges kicking around. You'd have to have it welded in or flanges welded on.

This deal has trouble written all over it. Walk away before you lose money, time and hair. If it has been complied before tell him to provide you with the papers for the compliance BEFORE you purcase the car or give a deposit. Ring the compliance company, and the registration office for the state you're in and make sure you get in writing that everything is legitimate with the car. Why on earth would someone import a Skyline from Australia into Spain. Its far cheaper to get one out of the UK which you can catch a train to and drive your new Skyline back from. A couple of cars we brokered have ended up in western europe that way.

Skyline Imports up in QLD should have the moulds to the R34 facelift kits.

For first timers into the import community its probably best to buy a landed car. If you are a little daring and can place some trust in an import broker then you should import one from japan. You will save yourself markups in the process. It can be made a little easier if you have the car inspected while it is in Japan before you buy it. An option available through some import brokers

^^^ roflcopter! They should make alarm systems that trigger an auto inflateable version of it.

Keep in mind a GTSt with GTR looking bits and an engine is still a GTSt when it come times to resell. An actual GTR will sell for more than a mock GTR (even if it is RWD but identical otherwise). You'd be better off selling the car to your brother, who from the sounds of it wants a GTSt, sell the GTS, add the money from that, add your savings for the conversion and you should be able to cover the costs for a GTR easily. This way you'll save your brother the cost of having an engine transplant, and both of you having cars off the road for extended periods.

that's enough out of you caesar suck on a 48 hour ban and use the time to control your inner keyboard warrior.

Albury's probably more lax on VIC car transfers because they can spit out the window and it'd land in Wondonga.

there's a company in Japan that makes car covers in generic shapes, which is a soft cloth/velour material with a rubber layer on top. The rubber layer is actually inflatable, so you put the cover on and then blow up the rubber layer, giving you this awesome 5cm layer of air cushioning against projectiles. I'll see if I can dig it up for ya.

Tell that to the RTA... they didn't want to acknowledge that the car passed compliance regulations if it wasn't signed for by an engineer listed in the following doc: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/dow...s/vsi/vsi15.pdf Hell I'm a member of IE Aust as well, but rather than argue the matter it was easier for me to just renew my rego in VIC At least I didn't have to deal with NSW red tape and their collection of technicolour slips.

Nismo released a limited run of R32 GTR's in March 1990. They came decked out in all sorts of Nismo goodies. prosman, so yours is just plain silver? Most GTSt's I've seen have silver badges with red and white paint in just the GT bits.

meh! I tacked on the "re" in case drunkan didn't get what it meant.

Different size yes, but not different colours, the colourings were retained between the series. Colour denomination differs from source to source, some think that the blue/white was used for passenger cars, and the red/white used for sports car. Some think that the blue/white was for N/A and the red/white was for turbo. Mine had gold badges because it was a limited edition. Nope, none of em had indicator repeaters on the fender. Almost all S2's in Australia are all old CPA scheme cars, which required the guard to be cut and an indicator to be inserted, as you couldn't see an amber indicator from all angles of view of the car. This isn't a requirement of 15 year old compliance, which is why most S1's you'll see in australia of the last couple of years don't have em. S1 was upto August 1991, and S2 was from then on.

might stop over on my way to UPI

"Type M" is what they call a package bundle for the car. It varied from year to year and dealer to dealer what you got as part of the "Type M" package. Usually it included shit like climate control, upgraded brakes, alloy wheels of some sort and a factory bodykit and spoiler. All models of Skylines had these packages... N/A's got Type S GTSt's got Type M 4 doors got Type X and Type J All the components you get in a Type M can be gotten as optional parts. Its was just cheaper to choose a package. Which is why sometimes you'll see a "Type M" bodykit on a non Type M car etc. So yeah, Type M's aren't a different car, they're the same car with a bunch of options as standard. All R32 GTSt's came with the same type of turbo and cams, there were no optional upgrades which were part of the Type M package. Their appearance might have varied between Series 1 and Series 2 R32's though.

just some insight that might help: my cefiro was complianced in Vic, by a VICRoads recognised engineer. I went to transfer it to NSW as the car spends more time there than it does in VIC, and they wanted me to recompliance it using an engineer that the RTA recognised as the VIC one wasn't. And the changes required to be made to the car... NONE! Its just bureaucratic homo mumbo jumbo. I'd dare say the compliance was done by someone who isn't VICRoads approved and the certificate was issued in a state other than VIC, which is why it has to be recomplianced for rego.

Dubai/UAE's been western tradition and practices tolerant for a while now. Hence why their tourism sector does so much better than the other middle eastern countries. Even when I stopped through Dubai a couple of years back I saw women not wearing burka's.

you guys have to remember the new GT-R has nothing to do with V35's V35's came out in 2001, next GT-R is slated for release in 2007. I'm sure Nissan will have released the next Skyline by then. Assuming they do, it'd be pretty stupid to bring a car out that's only going to be available for a year at bes. And even if they did, people would be able to import V35's made from 2001 to 2005 due to the structure of SEVS laws. Lets see... imported secondhand vs "Infiniti" badging prices... they won't come out of that on top for sure.

actually no, there's not much bracing around the R32 factory sunroof... different shape roof support bar, that's about it.

All you have to do is lower it and put 20's on it. Black with gold detailing or just plain white or silver. Not bad for a budget bentley lookalike. You don't even need to get a Hemi engine'd one, just get a poverty model and do it up as a pimped cruiser.

*sigh* a new era of vanity plate gayness is upon us. can't wait to see 4LYSIK, SXC12C etc like on excels in Syd although last month Vicroads stuffed up and I got my 6 letter plate for $150

ash... picsorban was not responded to with pics of ET, so its banning time

mmm 300C. Unfortunately Australia only gets the 5.7L and not the 6.1L Hemi, and no option of AWD either like in the US. Which totally blows goats. If you can look past the tacky interior, its a fairly cool car, that comes oozing pimpness out of the factory. I also love Chrysler's take on the V8 Supercars... "What? We can't race in the V8 races against Holden and Ford? Well f**k em, we'll make sure we lead the procession then."

I'm using the 2005 FAST and it seems to work on it. Although your VIN dosen't seem to come up, nor the details of your car, just the build date. So I'd say someone made a mistake during the data entry back in 1993 And yes we do have the Aussie FAST databases, but it dosen't have any Skylines in it, only cars manufactured in Australia.

yeah how much per week. Looking at finding a place as well, but I need parking for an AE86 and an R32. And storage for spare parts and tools.
