  1. Thanks for the reply i am guessing it would be for around 2 weeks normally, but my car has got a few mods to replace and due to end of year. i would say 3 - 4 weeks i am happy to pay for you troubles and rent the bits of you and will give a deposit for you peace of mind compliance is done at ISASO, so it not some unknown doggy place the shop has asked around too and i only need the stuff if they can not source it. but it looks like they might not be able to Kushil
  2. Hi Guys, does anybody have stock parts to replace the HKS hard piping KIT that came in my CAR "see pic" Car is getting complied at the moment, complance center got the R34 GTR Stock Air Box but don't have the actual stock piping (bit with the Twin Turbo written on it in a stock GTR) Plus the stock washer bottle as the Car came with an aftermarket item "see pic" I am willing to Rent / lease the bits or if you very generous "borrow for a little while" till the car is complied / rego'd and put back to Jap Spec Location - Brisbane Kushil Hard piping Kit Washer bottle
  3. heheh i am still waiting so the car at compliance place today. so it being 2.5 month wait since wining the car you need to pay 1. CAR Auction Price (30K) 2. Deposit for compliance (2 weeks or so later) $500 3. Shipping / customs Duty (1.5 months later) $7100 4. then rego / tyres / (once complance done and registered) so only good thing is you can pace out your payments when importing.
  4. There is a shit load of wingers here... also to add to your other post about why it took so long. SONY has insisted that GT5 needs to be fully 3D compatible and this has being one of the main reason why the game has got delayed by so long. pitty very few people will have 3D TV, but Marketing men take precedence here

    Buyer Beware

    PM me the importer might get some wheels in the future, want to make sure.. you dont go with people like this
  6. So many treads on SAU about buying R33 GTR's, might want to do a search first but you can start by reading this http://theclippingpoint.blogspot.com/2007/...uying-gt-r.html Also i would recommend getting it checked by Import's workshop as they would know what to look for
  7. I was looking at a few of the Cars you mentioned a few months ago really really liked that Evo 8 MR , the Evo 6.5 Interior is a HUGE step back for anyone seriously. unless if this is only going to be a Track / drag use car But end up importing R34 GTR
  8. + 1 We know as owners of high performance Cars that, they don't always get it correct the first time and it can take a few tries or stuff can go wrong... but for the love of god keep the customer informed, without the customer have to call and ask and making US looking like stalkers There is this thing called email as well, which most shops don't seem to use that much Knowing that communication is just as a part of workshops success as knowing there "STUFF with JDM cars"
  9. Google it or check out JSAI Site or http://www.musecret.com.au/category178_1.htm then just imagine without the lower lip the Z-tune lower lip "different being no middle holes like the V-Spec one" can be inter chnaged with the normal bumper i think
  10. Nice Car Mate NUR .. it's about as special as it gets with all the goodies in the world already done up as well.............. you know what post some pics of the new car on PerformanceForums.com , remember you getting a lot of shit for the GTT sale tread, if my memory is correct
  11. OK, now you just showing off Chris !! I think series 2 should also have passenger side air bag where as S1 it was a very are option and if you have the option try to buy a S3 one with the Projector head lights, for some reason, they look lot nicer..!!!
  12. send email, i need the price for the LIP mate
  13. HEHE Guess, when you get it tuned from HKS them selfs, it a bit hard to find a replacement if you do find a place in and around brisbane or getting someone down to tune in December and Jan, let us know... there fare few F-COn people in here, that might want to get there's tuned as well
  14. Having just imported a modded R34 GTR V-Spec from Japan, you can not get one in this quality / Mods/ Colour and V-Spec II from Japan either for under 55K currently, not to mension the hassle of going though months of waiting and looking for a compliance place that can make it Stock and put the mods back again ... in the rare occasion you do find one. Probably the best deal on a local R34 GTR currently as it a V-Spec II model with the updated interior, which is very rare as most local ones are 99 model GTR's (Silver and white) i hope you have put this up in Carsales and it should sell preety quickly if this is advertised properly Free bump
  15. Kind of expecting Bathurst but hey i will be kept busy with "Nürburgring" for a while and i am sure they will include Bathurst may be as an update later down the Track at some point
  16. I am sure you know in QLD GT Auto Garage in Brisbane does HKS F-Con as far i know only them do
  17. Must be HPI or something like that just saw your signature "Based in Japan" You Car is amazing by the way
  18. Bloody Hell I just brought a modded Black R34 GTR V-Spec, but this make me feel as if i just brought Corolla Wow.... more photos when it arrives in Australia please
  19. +1 Most of the New American sports cars are pretty good handling wise; gone are the day when there were just considered to be cheap, straight line heros... just take a look at the Covette ZR1 burning the R35 GTR on the Nurburgring !!!! and any of the Cadillac CTS V series But sadly Mustang was not one of those cars.. ; even the new iteration i think is preety basic suspension wise Can i ask;why on earth would anyone compare GTR Vs Mustang; there just so so so so different Cars
  20. There was HPI Article that was about a White R32 GTR with different Size RIMS and they have set the Rolling diameters to be the same Not sure how to do that, but hey there is a Crazy R32 GTR in Japan that's done it
  21. Wow you'r Car is amazing, 2.8 KIT ... I also have to go to them for Tuning when my R arrives this month, initially i had to go GT Auto as there are the only shop with HKS F-COn, but after reading your build, i will go there with lot more appreciation and knowing there Top notch place PS - Not a big fan of the rear wing... i am sure you need it though with a monster like this
  22. Car sales website is your best choice locally, if you can Wait 3 months then import, Check out J-specimports.com.au Importing my gtr via them GTR are cheaper to import, specially if don't want silver or white
  23. My Car is getting Compliance at Longden, I have visited there and Micheal and Jesse really know there stuff and if you search the forum for Longden A.K.A ISASO, you will see very positive feedback, both the owners have Skyline so there enthusiasts as well Why you bother about a compliance Job done 5 years ago on the other is beyond me
  24. My Sis law got 2004 Sportivo with 140KW engine in it, it is really nice Car to drive everyday. it's my Car usually when the "SKyline is getting fixed stuff done or waiting for a new one to arrive from japan" time.. Had a stock R33 GTST and around 4 years ago and Yes.. i had the biggest laugh when i read "keeping up"... the guy working next to me was looking at me laughing. [was meant to be looking at some work emails] However, i can say that [same engine] in a Lotus exige and next to Any skyline bar the R35, I am not going to be putting any bets who will win..... but that whole different story
  25. i saw the Dyno graph on the justenginemanagement Website of the Z tune 001 Car, it was 310KW at wheels "it's on Youtube as well" but i though you can put in stage 2 mods "GT-SS, ECU, Intake and Exhust, Cam Gear, Blah Blah" and easily get 310KW at wheels on any R34 GTR so except for the rarity, 250K... is a bit steap... if only really going to talk about performance Now i know there must be shit loads of other stuff that must be different like those oil or diff Cooler's that everyone seem to photograph from the back Diff in the Z-Tune, but even then 250K is a bit much as a collector item, yes it worth it, which means you can hardly put in any KM on it Would love to see one for real, does anyone know there is any in QLD in the SAU community
