Thanks guys That make life easier for me anyway i think i will borrow Brandon’s as a backup though just encase i find mine is loose.

ah ok. i thought a pod filter would not pass unless it was boxed though?
-
Hi guys My car has finished compliance in Brisbane and is going to be on its way here very shortly. Once it gets here I am gong to have to put it over the pits. At the moment it has a pod filter on it. I was wondering if anyone could help me out by lending me a standard filter box and filter for it because otherwise I don’t thing it is going to pass. If any one can help or had any advice it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Lee

Ok never mind lol just have to pay the invoice amount. -
hi guys. just wanted a little help. i recieved an arrival notice on the poast from seaway and i also recieved a tax invoice via email yesterday. i am just a little unsure what i am ment to be paying as the arivan notice has a total cost on it and as does the tax invoice. do i just ignore the arrival notice and only pay the amount on the tax notice? any help would be great thanks.

+1! and what are people talking about when they say it does not matter what car you drive because you can still speed and have an accident. no shit! Does not change the fact that the majority of P platers are stupid immature little pricks. And then you want to let them drive around in a car that has more balls than they would know what to do with seeing as theirs have only just dropped themselves. It Sh*t's me to tears the number of P plate Di*k heads i see speeding in busy built up areas. I have had so many little tirds trying to show off and almost clean me up. They don’t have nearly enough time behind a wheel to understand how a car handles and just how dangerous they can be if not respected. If they have the sort of attitude where they are going to show off they will do it no matter what car they drive yes, but the difference is if there showing off in a 1.3L Barina they are far less likely to get them selves in a situation that they are not yet capable of controlling where as you chuck someone in a car with some grunt and it is going to be far easier to get in out of your depth. Plus I don’t know about you guys but if I am driving around in a little Barina or something I am not likely to try and draw any attention to the fact. Where as in some nice big v8 or hotted up turbo powered car you are going to want to show off. I dont think it should efect the people who are already on P's but believe there is no reason not to inforce these restrictions on any new drivers. It is in every ones best interests at the end of the day. Not just for the driver but for the (16 year old girl) other people whos lives are in the hands of the yound driver sat next to them who has no idea what they are doing.

$1240 for shipping. Thats better than i thought it would be. so i should easil have have enough cash then. I am getting it complied by "shogun car co." they are in brisbane so wont be able to use your tyres thanx for the offer though m8.
-
hey mate thanks for that. i have been wondering how close they get to the actuall figure. how much did the shipping from japan cost you? thats going to be the main cost. i have 10 grand in the bank left and hope it is going to cover she shipping compliance stamp duity and getting it here from brisbane?
-
nah still dont have the email for some reason.
-
nice, i look forward to seeing it. im not to sure how much longer i have to wait, i think it will be about 9 or 10 weeks yet it really sucks! but at the end of the day im getting it which is the main thing. i signed up to your sight but wiating on the confermation email which is taking forever. is your user name on that magic as well?
-
yeah tell me about it. i loved the fact that there were only about 2 or 3 other 34s in town. and now im not one of them or at least for now. yeah man i will be sure to let you know. it was your brothers yellow 200sx i was the day mine got smashed yeah?
-
haha yeah tell me about it! it actually has an exhaust already. i dont know what sort of quality it is and how far back it goes though. thanks man, yeah i like how she looks. cant wait to get her. i have been using my mums lancer, the paint is almost pink now it has scratches all over it and teddys on the dash. oh and a purple barbie wheel cover! feel so cool driving around in it lol.
-
haha maybe. i would quite like to give the manual a go as well.
-
thanks heaps. will see how i go. i may have to take you up on that lol.
-
ah ok fair enough i didnt think about putting it on a train from brisbane. i think that would most likely be the best way to go. i will have to tackle that one when i come to it. im still waiting to hear what ship my car is getting on from japan so i can get an idea of when i will have it. i hate waiting for things!! im really bad, the last skyline i had it within a couple of weeds of first seeing it, and my bike i had it within a week lol this is killing me!! i have not had a car now for about 3 months i think im going nuts lol
-
my car is going to brisbane first and getting complied there before it comes here. sucks but because the car already had a buyer and then the sale fell through it had already been transported to the docks. and to get it on a ship to freo it would have cost me the inland transport of the car around japan. craig at j-spec thought it would be cheeper for the car to just go to brisbane first because compliance costs less over there anyway. i hope he is correct because i will be a bit upset if it ends up costing me much more especially seeing as this way the car has more peoples hands to go through
-
it was advertised for $17400 landed and complied. i dont know how acurate they are with those prices but i hope they are pretty close lol
-
I dont know if you guys remember but i had some stupid ford driver wreck my gtt a couple of months back. i was trying to decide wether i should be sensible and just get an old banger or a ute to get around in and pay off my loan, or wether i should get another skyline. well i could not help myself, i love my toys lol. i have got an auto 99 gtt coming from Japan through j-spec. it has the nismo kit which i am quite a fan of . i have always hated auto cars and swore i would never get one but i fell in love with it in the last one. i always drove with it in tiptronic but loved that i could just chuck it into auto when i was tired or hung over lol well i loved it once i had it shift kitted by mv autos in south Australia, was bloody sluggish before that. i was wondering who else had theirs shift kitted and if they regret not going for the manual? www.j-spec.com.au/clients/index.php?ID=12805

was in getting all of my things out of my car today while it was at wadleys panel beaters on Morgan road and the guys showed me someone’s black R33 that was written off. such a shame!!! had a really nice custom paint job on the motor and brembos. looks like they have done a fair bit of work on the car. they had gone over a bolder and smashed the engine or something. was that anyone on here?
-
just got a call. the car is a write off. the repairer quoted 15 grand to fix the car and just car were only willing to spent 13 on the repairs because they can get 6000 for the wreck. so pissed off!!! not like i can afford a new one. the car is insured for 20500 but the assessor seems to think im only insured for just over 19 so i will be calling them up to sort that out. why the fu*k cant people look where they are going!!! all because of that wanker i have now lost my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
hey m8 thanks for the advise. yeah i think i will do that ay. just sucks because the excess is over 2grand. will get on the phone to them tomorow. was going to do it friday but had my leaving drinks at work and got totally smashed lol needed cheering up ay! i got home and passed out by 7:30 lol was I feeling it yesterday. thats what happens whin you drink one and a half cartons by your self in 4 hours.
-
hey m8. yeah i saw him having a look ay. seen him driving around most mornings on my way to work heading over the bridge on safetybay rd.
-
yep i really dont like the falcons ay!!! like the holdens but the falkon is just an ugly ass shitty car if you ask me. and looks like they dont stop too goot eather.
-
if i do find my self to be too inpatient and wanting to buy another skyline. you got any pictures of yours?
-
lol yeah i have been thinking the same sort of thing. was thinking about getting the car back selling off the parts and with the money i can pay off the lone for the line and my dirt bike. the insurance money would pay all that off anyway but the parts would give me more money. then i can get my self a well looked after old 4WD ute so i can get my bike out more often. then i will be able to save up and maybe get myself an r34 gtr in a couple of years(im guessing i will have saved up a little bit of money, and they will b a bit cheeper by then). just dont know if i can wate that long for another skyline.
