  1. Have you seen his detail thread pictures........ that is a big call on a BB R34 GTR but hey i am biased......
  2. Imported by First car from J-spec in 2007 - V35 Coupe 70th Anniversary and then imported by current car via them in 2011, a R34 GTR V-spec. I can highly recommend them based on my personal experience. Iron Chef - who posted on your thread above is also high recommended here, just search SAU I now people dont like to import, but really i don't see the what the big deal is - if you want a good car for a great price and have the "TIME" to wait. this is given you doing it with legit people of cause.
  3. also keep in mind you can import an Evo 8 these days for not much more than a 20K and hence import process takes time, it gives you the chance to collect money for the last bits of the process (Compliance, Rego, etc) as in no instant outlay of funds like buying local. if there is one car that would replace both as a daily and kick ass out of factory fast car. that would be an Evo 8. I also have 2 cars, which you need really with GTR's, but think of the doubling in Rego, Insurance each year as well. (unless you earnings can easily manager the expense) IMO - well setup R33 S3 (which looks so much better than S1 GTR) will still set you back a bit over 20K + you will need to keep your second car on top $$$ . Don't know much about S15 - but driven few nice GTT's and there are lovely cars.
  4. as a GTR owner.......... Buying one is one thing.... maintaining is whole different thing... specially with R32, which are now getting a bit old. so if your questioning the purchase price.... ??.. By Bias opinion - GTO looks better than R32 GTR GTir can be made to a real weapon with suspension setup and drive terrain upgrade. but it will be 20K by then too ..
  5. forgot - the Interior had the Superior Auto treatment "inspired by M-Spec seats"
  6. Pretty standard V-Spec [had a V-spec 2 badge, first thing to come off - hate fake badges] - had it for about 1.5 years now, ideally want to do around 1 track day maybe 3 month or so..once the engine is up to that, will think about the exterior... Runs HKS-Fcon Vpro currently with Stage 1 mods (Only Turbo's to do - getting GT-SS / -9 at the end of the year and she is done) Also came with some odd bits from japan too like 4 wheel drive controller, modified Diffs, heavy clutch, camber arms, oil cooler, NOT normal FINS on the rear diffuser and a mother of strut bar Currently Runs 239.9 AWKW with 1 Bar + Cam gears on high and stock boost on Low (HKS EBC). http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/193/qldraceway.jpg/ http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/313/img1591n.jpg http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/9316/img1554sd.jpg Very Envious of you'r car - i am not very good in washing or buffing IMO...
  7. Will have them one day once the engine side is sorted.... Silver LMGT4 looks really nice on a Black R34 GTR with Nismo Skirts and Spats with VS-2 bonnet. (not huge fan of the Nismo bonnet mind you) This has being my inspiration for few years, which led to me buying my car... Not quite there yet !!!..
  8. Crap.. that LInk from chef is for SP model.. so they don't really hold their value considering Nissan will be selling the same thing for a LOT more than 25K come end of the year.
  9. Cheers...So Silver LMGT4 looks lot better on Black R34 than BB Car,... funny that... TE37 looks bloody nice on anything however...
  10. Any chance you can get "inspired" to put 19inch LMGT4 in Silver, always wanted to know how it will look on a BB GTR.
  11. Can you please let me know the place you got this done, having some issues finding a place. lot of locks smiths that used to do it, seems not to do now for some reason. Thanks a bunch in advance.... Hate having 1 KEY and 1 Black IMO.
  12. I had a V35 70th Anniversary, which i imported. it is pretty rare and hard to find a Manual version and ONLY the 70 Anniversary came with FULL leather interior for V35 Coupe's, all the other versions including the premium had part leather interior only. Good Luck with sale
  13. I think GT-SS is -9 turbo + with "preety / better" HKS actuators and all the bits needed for straight swap included.
  14. ERD is Epic
  15. Anyway Good on the Kiwi's to get the record from uncle Sam... good luck to them... also can Evo engine with stock internals get 280KW without doing anything reliably.... Crap.... that really bloody good.
  16. Very Nice work.... Any tips on detailing the Diffuser... mine is looking a bit tired...
  17. I might go the Carbon Z-tune COPY or nismo S-tune bonnet COPY, being a black car. the Carbon items looks nice on it. The prices people pay for OEM R34 items are crazy. stuff like original rear diffusers, rare M-spec seats, VSII bonnets, Nismo rear lights go for ridiculous amounts these days
  18. Very nice Pics ...Yellow looks mad. Also would like to know the story on the bonnet.... dont mind having NACA duct added to my normal bonnet..if at all possible.
  19. My R34 GTR, The car came with the below type of seat covers and the front 2 were preety gone. i would want to know how much it is to purchase the front set only + Postage to brisbane, on their site front seat cover set costs - 38,000 YEN Who in SAU can provide this service at a reasonable price - i really don't want to pay double to get this sent over from japan ideally. Time is really not a huge concern. but sooner the better. the actual product on the web site. I already emailed them to see if they will send to Australia no response. http://www.superior-cia.com/hpgen/HPB/entries/15.html Also pic with correct seat stitching (RED) type attached. - using google translate (original site is in Jap only) Please reply to thread/ PM or email at [email protected] Regards, Kushil
  20. +1 for ERD Very Honest and great prices
  21. Crap 100K, in that case the locally imported ones will appreciate in value.
  22. considering it actually. But not really a G37 for me. i had a V35 before which i loved. but considering a V / G is not really an out and out sports car and the wast majority of people used them with no modifications and as a daily or cruiser. i guess having the Australian Navigation, everything in English, warranty from Nissan "hick Infinity sorry" does sort of makes sense. but if the existing V36's see a big drop in price - which i am guess they will "if not already - look at car sales", i don't mind a low KM, V36 Coupe SP for high $20's makes a lot of sense, considering it's basically same bloody car. I personally hope they bring the 3Lt Diesel model skyline cross over here, which i can market to my Mrs as a family car.
  23. Hi detail gurus... My back bumper has fair number of scratches from Jap land, now i would want to get it fixed hopefully without painting it.. if this is possible, I got an over the phone quote from a brisbane detailing guy for 8-10 hours at $60 per hour and said most can be removed. but i am not sure if these stubborn babies will go that easy. if i were to paint back bumper - how much would that cost - base estimate would do.. only deep scratch on the body is this one.. can this be paint corrected as well. Back Bumper scratches
  24. so that's what shuffling sounds like .... F**** was thinking what the hell these guys are on about.... .going back to reading mode
