luke gtr

i get what youre saying, but to compare apples with apples, id have to be able to hire my car from someone over there. not going to happen. i think the lambo was suggested from his personal experience, and it would have similar performance to my gtr when i complete it. an r32 golf, or evo, ....just NO comparison. the idea of importing to england, well maybe ill look and try and find the easiest country to import to. with regards to using my rego/plates, i wouldnt be adventuring outside germany on this particular trip. and i think proper paperwork from their own authority would be enough for most cops.... just not NSW ones , just kidding, or am i???

thanks heaps ian. yeah, sort of confirmed my suspicions... at least now i know.

2000 euro/day x 7 days=AU$18627 hmmm, strating to think it might be not so bad to take my own car.... that could be the container there and back. plus possibly a new tune on the ecu.

hi guys, reading through these threads has inspired me. quick question(probably a stupid one, dont ask=never find out), can you use lenses from old standard film slr's on dslr's? have a camera i got off my dad, shutter is now broken, and it has a couple of lenses with it. they have threaded sections on the end to replace mounting ring. eagerly awaiting your answers. thanks, luke.

hmmm, not my car, but still good idea.roughly how much did it cost you last time, for flights/food/accomidation/car/fuel? dont know if it would apply to me, but i found on a german website that if there for less than 12 months, you can generally use your current rego and number plates. i would expect that you would still need to get their authorised stations to check the car out, and things like tyres and brake pads changed to complied parts. still doing research....

ok, ill take one for the team and voluteer to help drive back. i once bought a car from adelaide due to price. flew down from sydney, train out to location suburb, test drive car, drive back. done this with my dad. 24hr round trip. awesome to drive all that way, get back, crash for a few hours, wake up and see your new pride and joy sitting in the driveway.... just give me some notice so i can out in for holidays at work either way you go, good luck finding a car.

Congratulations on your new purchase. Hope you get many years of good motoring. Start saving now, and buy a gtr as a second car down the track...

I always try to wave. Sometimes just don't see them in time.... And with the bikes, a lot don't give the nod, I do, its a you're interested in what I'm interested in thing. Most of the imports that don't wave back are generally people who arnt enthusiasts.

Just saw this. Will be in for next group buy if prices are more or less the same. Want/need/gotta have gias 2...

thers no speed limit if you dont get caught.... but seriously, maybe in his head?

not saying i dont want to do it, just saying i cant afford it. yet....

renting a lambo would be nice, but i havnt put the time and effort into that car... and i know it wouldnt be cheap, if at all possible, but i figure, you got to have a dream right? maybe we could split a container? no, nowhere near soon. either way, not going to be cheap. if even possible, taking my car is going to take ALOT of saving... see below ive never really played the ring on video games. just reackon it would be an amazing experience....

Just had pizza for lunch, not craving it as much now...

hope this is in the right section. i was just wondering if anyone has taken their own car to germany to do the autobahns and nurburgring? is it even possible? its one of my life goals, do the car up to the point i want it, then take it to a place where i can do the speeds legally. any info would be appreciated. will be doing my own research also. p.s. i used the search function, and came up with alot of people using hired cars, but not their own from australia.

BNR32 013343 thanks in advance. this will be interesting. the compliance plate that the aus government put on states as 8/93, which should be series 2. dont have the brakes, has push clutch. and the vin plate also has the 6U9... doesnt end with the factory vin.

its easy, 2 doors or 4? ive got an r32 gtr and love it. 280rwkw, 8500rpm, dump the clutch=awesome feeling.... i told my wife, when we get kids, i get an evo as a family car, because they have 4 doors either way you go, get a thorough mechanical check, and you should be fine. good luck with the hunt.

love the stance and the wheels!!!! HOOOOT!

thanks mate, i done my apprenticeship at penrith mazda. saw the colour on cars every day and didnt stand out. then one day, i was following an SP23 in this colour, and thought, thats the colour i want. i needed to respray anyway, so it got done. looks better with all the black accesories. thanks everyone for the compliments.... makes all the effort worthwhile.

no worries, just offering some perspective... like i said, ill grab some photos of the wheels i have tomorrow

before i blacked out the intercooler and headlights on the wedding nihgt(obviously)

nope, mazda sparkling silver, mostly a champagne, but goes between gold and silver depending on light. thanks for the compliment

agree with above. organise and post details...

payment made, sold to me

also, for the 1600, does that come with better tyres than pictured? just wondering as new can be had for around the same price(without tyres though)

got some 18inch veilside wheels, will grab photos and offsets tomorrow...
