R31envybloke

yea man sure do, just love the 80's period, im also pretty keen on the R34 but I just love the 89. I havent really had a great choice in what car we have owned the past couple of years and now its time for me to get something that doesnt need 6 seats and I can spend time on building. cheers !

sure will champ. its a definate of getting one, got the funds coming and looks like I have one possibly lined up in SA. will do a whole progression thread from start to finish! one thing Im excited about is I will be able to fund it without having to wait to get the coin. only the parts as needed!

hi guys, thought I better introduce myself. Im Jamie, I have just come into the money to get back into skylines again, I once owned a 85 skyline that I bought of a mate which originally got me into them into the first place, it had the 2.4l (I think.. it was over 10 years ago I had it) and no real major upgrades but was a great car, I moved interstate and ended up selling it for the fact I needed a family car. Im now after project car im after a 86-89 HR31 coupe gts-r or x. I might have sourced one interstate which looks the goods, I would just need to get it on a truck etc. I look forward to working it anyways, I plan on doing most of it myself, except painting I want that done professionally. other than that mechanical and cosmetics interior and out will be customised by me. look forward to the forums

sorry for the short response about this, I have only just got home from a trip. responded to the thread with no time to explain anythnig. firstly, it wasnt intentional as an advertisement, just as I said previously I was looking into importing myself and they were one I come across and I was going on the videos of people who have imported, obviously the company wouldnt put up people that werent happy but from what I read it seemed ok as there were guarantees in that if you did import through them and werent happy there was no obligation, you would still prob get charged fees though. honestly I was only trying to help with something I found. I havent had a chance to look up anything else on them. if the moderators want to remove the links that were put up pleae do as I dont want the forum rules to be broken. I realise there is always gonna be a certain stigma on car dealers and to be honest I have never bought a car from one, always a private sale. why I looked up importing was because I am after a certain model that might be hard to source in OZ. as I went looking I found this to be the case, the first one I found after ages of looking that they are far and few between. havent found one in my state yet. anyways just thought I would give a few more details.

not advertising, dont know the bloke, was just putting up some info on what I had found as I was looking into it myself. take it how you feel though. was only going off the videosand customers on those.

hi mate, I know Im new to the forum but have looked into this aswell, these guys at this site which are the same just have 2 sites - www.fatfrogimports.com.au www.edwardlees.com.au these guys seem to have a really great reputation and very reasonable costs for their service (I think so personally anyways) and have a great customer service policy. thee are a couple of options in the imports one is VIP where they charge just under $1600 and take on all the responsibilities like finding the vehicle, import details like fees and all the important stuff, they even have a 100% money back guarantee if the car gets here and it isnt as described etc. anyways, check them out cause if your looking at importing I reckon these guys could be the way to go. they import mostly nissan I think but do also other japanese makes. jamie

EDIT - cant edit title. not after the 89 sorry

Gday people, I know this being my first post in this section may be frowned upon but it is NOT to sell. I am going to be in the market for a R31 coupe 87-88 as a project car. I would like it to be in reasonable condition body and motor wise but dont need it to be modded like crazy performance wise. preferably standard motor/trans etc. Auto preferable as my wife cant drive manual but manual would be fine with me anyways. again preferably NOT turbo but if its there its there. well you get the picture. what I want is something I can turn into a head turner, I am over going fast these days especially with young kids that need their dad. back in the day I had a 85 R30 that was modded to the max, sold it when I moved interstate. wish I still had it. anyway, am now in love with the R31 coupe and am in the market for one, I have plenty of time as I will need around 3 months to finish of my case to afford ths (long story not for here). so it gives me plenty of time to see whats around and prices. so if you know of or are looking at selling one, I would be appreciative to whomever contacts me in regards to this. thanks people Jamie.
