Go to Rampant Performance/Import Monster in Ringwood - heaps of JDM parts there! Was there yesterday, heaps of R34 GTR wheels, Works, Volks, SSRs, halfcuts, transmission, a whole mountain of exhausts, recaros/brides, Aristos, couple of RB26 crate engines. Aaron's going on holidays tomorrow but will be back in a couple of weeks, in the meantime ask for Arch or Daniel who'll be there in the meantime. Yeah I know Ringwood's not out west, maybe you should move eastside? Moving house nowadays is cheaper than driving across the city! Tim

ah, i mean service for the GTR (haven't bought the accord yet!). I'm sure there's a few good, honest workshops around that know their way around a GTR, recommendations would be good so I can set up things before the beast arrives Tim

Well, here's an update for you guys, after having a look at a couple of local GTRs, my mate found me a nice silver '97 Series 3 GTR in Japan. Pretty much what I was looking for, virtually stock, factory HIDs, two airbags. Should be on the boat soon and here in 3-4 weeks His R34 GTR just arrived and went for a drive in it yesterday, wow . Now just busy selling off all the parts from my WRX and sell the car too - looking for an accord euro lux (automatic) as a daily driver if anyone knows one selling in Vic. Also wanting recommendations for good service shops (preferable eastern suburbs) as the car need all fluids changed and timing belt done. Tim

Hi guys - sorry I must be blind, didn't even see the events section in vic bit I'd rather not go straight to a traders yard as I reckon I'd get a more honest opinion from an owner of a GTR rather than some bloke trying to sell me one. Thanks Ant97GTR for your comments, I'll be searching for a series3. As for cruise control... my wrx has it and I use it a lot. The GTR probably won't get driven as much as my daily driver, so I guess missing cruise control won't be such a big deal. Pity there's no sunroof, but can't have it all Anyway, I've got a friend who runs an import parts company looking for one for me in Japan, so maybe the next update will be pics of the car Tim

Hi guys, new to register to the forums but been lurking for years Just wondering if the vic boys ever organise any social meetups? Main reason I ask is that I'm looking at importing an R33 GTR and was hoping some kind local member would offer to show me their car and explain all the good & bad bits. JDMST might be having a meet over Queens Birthday long weekend, so that might be a good time to coincide? Last time I was in a GTR was about 6 years ago. I then went to work in London for a couple of years, come back in 04 and got a WRX as a company car. It's been pretty sweet, no complaints with it (here's a pic: http://88speed.com/images/night1.jpg ) but I'm looking at selling it for a proper godzilla. Any owners want to comment on what in particular to look out for? My basic needs are pretty easy to meet - must have both airbags is the main one. Prefer white or purple, nice to have the xenon headlights too. Couple of details I couldn't find much info about though - do they have cruise control? Did they ever have a sunroof as an option? I don't want a 600hp car, just something comfortable and powerful to cruise around in, totally stock looking. Problem with my wrx is too much attention and it's time for a change. Thanks guys Tim
