spotted a grey r32 in chifley getting done for speeding

Simons mate with the R32? If so, he went on about your car endlessly about it being the best R32 in canberra

bah, 25th. Ill still be in Queensland >.<

Haha i saw michael (previous owner of R32) for the first time since the crash today. He looked pissed, thanks for showing him the pics whoever did Ohwell he got the money for it so its all good... sort of. Yep, ill RTO the time off work when the date is set for the chrissie cruise, dont wanna miss it. One of the main reasons I bought a skyline, apart from the aura of greatness it produces, was to be part of a large car community. Had my first rubbernecks experience today, sitting at traffic lights near ANU and 2 cars roll past me, slowly, and all gawk at the car. Cant complain about a nice ego stroking Was a bit dodgy buying off ebay but the guy wasnt pressuring me to put a deposit or anything until i saw and test drove it so it was basically a moneyless deposit. He faxed me the compliance and import papers as soon as i won the bid and when i talked on the phone he seemed to be a genuine guy. Hes been in the importing business for 10-15 years and has the mansion of a house to prove it, along with the multiple skylines in his garage. It was pretty surreal.

Me, my first spot. Was just at ACT brakes to get roadworthy but forgot it had to go through dickson for ID check first.... so now i have to wait till next thursday till its registered.

i think i saw her a couple days ago driving around tuggeranong with a hot friend in the passenger seat. It was black wasnt it, she was on her P's?

Jeez, are they getting the parts brand new or something :X When i was pricing up parts for fixing my 4 door r32 parts were nothing. For 2 doors, front qrt panel and little bits and pieces was nothing over $1000 including shipping. Guessing its all labour costs. Still, your bloody lucky your not paying for it

Depending on where the damage is and how good the repairers job is your car might not handle the same or may have random shakes, rattles and sqeaks

dont think jamies told michael about the car yet :X You know the roundabout near Gordon primary (going along tharwa drive) Was coming back up from banks/condor way, accelerated a bit too hard (rained earlier that day but it was propably dry by the time i crashed) while exiting and it slid right into the light pole on the corner. If you drive past there youll see the orange tape where it should of been Crazy thing is when i hit it i drove off and hid in some couldersack in Isabella and reported myself to the police while waiting for a towtruck, apprantly because i reported myself i didnt lose any points from my liscence. Also ACTEW didnt secure the light pole (was told later that if you hit a light pole and it stands its $2500 fine but if it falls its +$5000) and they basically watched it sway around till it fell, hitting another car :X

haha, i got lectured by everyone i told about the car about how i was semi/wholly retarded but there was never any commitment to buy until i test drove it. Bidding on ebay was kind of like a moneyless deposit. What happened to MIVEC?

haha yea, bought it off michael, i wrote it off into a pole 6 days after buying it

Its been inspected since i drove it back to canberra and he couldnt find any faults, it handled great on the trip back on the Hume Hwy, no weird shakes or rattles at speeds, no weird noises, think i got lucky :X. He didnt want a deposit so there wasnt any commitment to buy the car before i test drove it and inspected it, he was basically just holding it for me till i got there. Photos taken with phone so not greatest quality

Also, the guy i bought it off is selling another one just like the one i bought for a simlar price aswell as a red R34 GTS turbo Manual for $25,000 in amazing condition if anyones interested, I was tempted to buy it instead but couldnt afford another 10,000

Well it all started about a month ago when a mate of a mate sold me his R32 4 door. After driving it around for the brief 3 days it was drivable (3 days spent in shop for roadworthy) I was absolutly hooked. When i wrote it off I decided I needed another Skyline no matter what it took so i started searching around, had an inspection lined up with a Sydney member from these forums but it was sold 8 hours before i was set to leave. Pissed off by my lack of sleep (I woke up at 5am dam it and turned down a mates 21st the night before!) I started searching more and found an Ebay ad with minutes to go, so like an idiot i bid 13,900 on a sight unseen car in victoria . Weeks of planning and stuffing around later i flew to Melbourne this morning and drove it back today. Will post some pics tommorrow, bloody tired. (Its a 1996 GTST R33 Turbo 5sp Man) Heres some pics of the old one: (no P-Plater jokes ) By the way my names Alex and im gonna become a forum addict

ouch, insurance? nothing hurts more then an uninsured crash, wrote off my r32 sedan (uninsured) 6 days after buying it

any Asians ive talked to all say that skylines are whiteboy cars german/aus btw

uh oh... Heading down to Melbourne this tuesday coming to pick up an R33 GTST S2... guess i have to go over dickson pits :X Never heard a good thing about that place

If it is just the battery theres a wholesale place over in Queanbeyan (on Uriara) he just searches up on his database whats available for the make, model and year, walks into his factory and comes back with the battery for about 30% cheaper then youd be expecting at battery world
