IMACUL8

Hey Dan Another old school original member - great to hear from you. This is by far the best GTR I have had. The 6 Speed Sequential box is what makes me smile the most. This car is like the day it came from the factory - condition wise. Interior is flawless - not a mark - appears as brand new. Underneath car is also flawless - the rails, etc are perfect - no scratches, dings, nothing - truely amazing. I did the full Jap History check on this GTR - all great. I feel as if I have purchased a brand new 18 year old car..... IMMACULATE (IMACUL8) is every way.

Hello Thought I’d take time share with you my GTR. I’ve been a member on SAU since the early days – April 2002. Started on here as a young guy in my early 20’s – just sold my VP HSV and was looking to buy a R33 GTSt which were just starting to be sold at the yards around that time. After owing the GTSt, I moved onto Supras, Evo’s and various R33 and R34 GTR’s over the last 10 years. Although I loved the 2JZ Supras – the car that I always loved the most and always gives me the best memories – was my 2001 R34 GTR V Spec II. 2001 GTR V Spec II 1998 GTR Supra 2010 Shelby GT500 Being without a GTR for a number of years I decided I would start quietly keeping an eye out in Japan for my next car. I am very particular about my cars – extremely fussy – so I was in no rush – browsing the yards in Japan is half the fun. I was after a car in Japan – I had to be first owner in Australia. I was after a quality modified car – standard or near standard cars was not an option – as had many and I was looking for something more hardcore. Wanted a car built in Japan, of the highest quality, genuine low km, etc etc. This car would be a keeper – something I will spend time in with my sons, enjoy, etc. I was actually looking for a 34 …. when I received an email from Global Auto in Japan (where I had purchased the Autoselect R34 GTR the week before)……..

Just arrived at their yard – before they put it for sale would I be interested. Upon looking at the pictures and quick call to check over some details – I purchased it immediately. When bringing the car to Australia – I decided to ship the GTR directly to GT AUTO in Brisbane. As I’m in Perth – I entrusted Tim and Dave to look after the car for me - service, minor upgrades and tuning needed to be done. I cannot speak highly enough of the boys at GT Auto in Brisbane – who took nothing but amazing care of my car. Whilst at GT Auto - some of the improvements to the car I have made ... * HKS FCONV V-PRO ECU * HKS EVO6 Boost Controller * 1000CC Injectors * RADIUM Surge Tank with Twin External Pumps Bracket * E85 Fuel Line and Fittings * HKS Cam Gears * New NPC Twin Plate Custom Clutch 1000HP * Nitto Clear Cam Cover * Garage Defend C/F Cooling Panel * Tinted Windows * Polished Intake Plenum * New N1 Water Pump * Dyno Tuning GTR whilst at GT AUTO ...

AUTO SELECT Strut brace added. Braided Hoses replaces clear plastic. I will continue to update this topic to share with you my experiences - and keep a history of my GTR. Thank you for reading.

Is that this kit.... http://carbonplusoz.com/products.php?product=95%252d98-Nissan-Skyline-R33-GTR-Carbon-Top-Secret-Style-Rear-Diffuser-(3pc)

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to it.

update?

No worries - just give me a weeks notice before your heading down so I can plan. Will need to take extra fuel with us as I don't think they have E85 up that way - lol

Lol - that's fine mate as I only seem to drive my car once every 8 weeks Drop me a PM next time your coming down - and we can tee up a hills run. When I had my 34 V Spec II - I used to meet a few mates at Midland Maccas at around 5am on a Sunday morning for quick breaky - then we would do the mildand to Toodyay run - over to Northan / Mt Omany - back into Perth. Early spring morning in Perth ... driving in your GTR through the hills - amazing !!!!!!!

fkn lol alright!!!!

Of course it is ... 30k for that is a bargain! Congrats on sale

Nice job ... congrats. Now that your engines done - time to polish up your headlights Us Perth boys should organise a meetup / hills run ......

my new wallpaper - thanks Prank

Thanks Danny Appreciate your effort in getting this done. Good job. Dan

Id like to join but not interested in joining PayPal. Am I able to direct deposit? Dan

Nice build - enjoy the 33 now!

Enjoyed reading through your build. Congratulations on a fine Gtr.

I bought my BCNR33 from Global Auto - as well as the AutoSelect 34GTR - dont expect a bargain - but you will find some amazing cars. Nothing rings more true in the saying "You get what you pay for" when talking GTR. Dan

Just arrived at work - thanks. Dan

Im still awaiting delivery of mine - nothing yet.

Sorry to hear - move on and keep looking.

Not really? Tell us more.... Did you have issues? My engine was built in japan and I shipped my car to Brisbane for checkup and tuning. I have no confidence in local shops here. Hope the cars putting a smile on your face again. Pics?

How did this end up? Was shipping everything over to NZ worth it in the end? Results? Dan

Id been keen to come down with the R - but this week is no good.
