yep yep agreed - The places I tried were: GT Auto (croydon) Kamikaze motors (nunawading) SSV (oakleigh) gran turismo (somewhere far - i think west melbourne or something) JSA (preston) TGS (oakleigh) Out of those 5 - JSA and TGS were not the best in terms of customer service. As I recall, the older guy at TGS just gave me a rotten look, almost as if to say "yeah like this guy can afford our 22 grand non turbo supra". There were 2 supras (NA and twin turbo) - I was looking at the NA closely, decided to check the twin turbo as well - the cars looked like they were in great condition, doesnt look like they had been in major accidents. But the way the guy said that the twin turbo was 30 grand was a bit rude imo. So I just told him, that I was looking for a NA but at the same time looking at the quality of the cars and whats out there. He maybe having a bad day or somthing, but i decided TGS was out (along with jsa). Gran turismo - one of the cars from them was at GT Auto for compliance. I didnt test drive it, but I compared waynes stock vs that particular car. Interior wasnt in the best of shape. Engine looked genuine but was very very dusty. I didnt go there as such - but the prices alone was too high imo for me to even consider it. GT Auto - wayne spent ages going through the cars, gave me a good run down on each car pretty much and wasnt really forcing me to buy the car as such. Went for 3 test drives with his stock before I decided to buy it. SSV - mark was extremely helpful. Again not forcing me to buy or anything. Went for a test drive with one of his r33s - was in great condition - as with the other cars. Kamikaze - Dealt with warren - cool bloke (around my age early/mid 20s). Let me know when there was stock of supras and skylines. Again, test drove 2 cars there. There was only one supra and one skyline there that didnt meet my expectations, but the others looked ok. But in the end, went with GT Auto - the deal was too good imo. The warranty was included in the price of the car - 16800 + orcs. I think he takes orders now for imports - but may have more stock in his garage.

Nah - what he did was he turned the wheels, used the handbrake, reved the shit out of the little shit, then dumped the clutch and the handbrake. The force would have enabled the car to shift violently from the reverse position into the correct position, then what he had to do was just drift it into the space.

i like the black one.... what does "saph" mean?

man - id sooo like to make mine look like that blue 33 - that car is sooo damn sexy!

Also be prepared to change your mind if you see a better car. EG, I went looking for an NA supra - ended up getting a 33 skyline.

Def recommend SSV - talk to mark - hes the guy who imports the car. Kamikaze is ok, but the prices were too high imo. I got mine from GT Auto Compliance in croydon - I dont know if wayne has anymore cars now - but you are more than welcome to go check his shop out.

that blue r33 looks so hot! How much are these kits generally? Imagine parking them at a shopping center - you wont be able to open yer doors!!

I have to get mine re-adjusted, some of the modes aint working. Will be getting the mechanic to check it out next time i take it for a service (which is quite soon) Edit - sorry the install was a 5 min job literally

dont worry man, this shit happens to all of us who have good cars. My friend took his accord euro (i know not a nissan), brand spanking new, to glen waverley (in vic) on saturday night. He went back out just after midnight, and found some white liquidy substance all over the boot of his car. But he also saw that on other good cars that were parked near by eg a modded s15 also had the same shit on its boot. Im really accepting of most people, but when it concerns cars, it just makes me so mad. My ex's friends did the same thing (only it was to my old honda accord). They stuck mcdonalds shit all over my car - and pierced the wrappings and tissues through my antenna. The bitch knew who it was, but never spoke to them about it. Oh yeah, and I hate it when mofos think its funny to pull up your windscreen wipers either in a carpark or when your at the intersection.

there is a place on ferntree gully rd - next to monash uni clayton that accepts used oil - but they charge by the ltr...

rekins been wrecking the show

some interesting responses... - thanks all for yer input

The way i do it at 4k, i let it out slow - I think thats what my friend was doing too.....thats probably not good for the clutch right?

I think it was a gradual throttle application - I would like to try it myself, but I dont know if my clutch will take it - and as it is, i think the clutch might be on its way out.......

the question is, would anyone here give up their bf/gf to keep their car? Edit - but i dread the day i have to decide to sell my skyline. I wouldnt want to see people come and thrash my car after I have babied it and put all the mods etc....

Here it is Sorry about the blur - i didnt know how to use my new camera at the time and it was bloody cold after i washed the car at night But its attached just above where my left leg would be.

Arent GTRs wider looking than GTS-Ts? Not intending to put a stop to your enthusiasm, but to get the whole gtr look, there would have to be changes to the quarter panels too - am i right?

ah ok - makes sense - thanks bud

As the topic states, I got a question about when the car is launched. At times, I have launched it from about 4k revs - this has given the best grip, and the actual take off is very smooth and controllable. However, I was in a friends r33 today, and the launch was done at 6k. The strange thing is, there was no wheelspin, but the rear of the car did momentarily dip downwards as the car started to move forward. Is this normal (the dipping of the rear)? I guess those who have taken their car to the drags etc - is this what normally happens or the car is not supposed to dip at all?

yep - got that one. Bought mine from bt-revolution for around 120 i think it was..... Its fairly small, so it will fit anywhere pretty much, but wont cover the whole gap as such.

yeah - is that a skyline???? Plus who keeps the bottom of the car clean? I checked mine when it was on a hoist, was a filthy bitch.....

poor doggies

The GTRs that were sent to the UK - the 33 and 34s, are believed to reach about 250 or there abouts in stock form. Any car in japan is 180 or less. why would one need to have the capability to get to 300?

any good mechanic can do it for a decent price...
