Unfortunitly I work with WiZardOz (Gary), well we sort of work

I wish you would hurry up and buy my R33 so we can turn it into a race car!

Finally got news my car is leaving Japan and should arrive on the 30th May

It has only been about 4 months sitting in Japan waiting for a boat

I have a pile of bits waiting to go on, so I can not wait

As big Kev use to say "I'm excited"

Finally got my car today

Had it delivered this avro to my house

Will send it to compliance in the next week or 2

Need to remove a few aftermarket things first

After sitting around the docks for 3-4 months, it could do with a good clean

Need a bit of a tidy up

Small rust spot on door under RH mirror and bodykit could do with a few screws

Rear carpet in hatch area has some damage, will need to replace it

It is a fair bit different to drive than my R33 manual

Feels a bit sluggish with auto and extra weight

Will have to work on this

Let the mods begin

[EGA41T]

nice one darrin, so was it worth the wait?

got any "fresh off the boat" pics for us?

[darrinspencer]

Here is one on the docks in Japan

One other problem

The wife wants it now

She suggested I get a GTR instead

What are R34 worth....55k

[EGA41T]

you can get an R34 GTR for about 60k if you import it............. :drools: ...... my dream car

Well. after nearly 6 months to the day from when I first paided for the Stagea, I went toget it registered today.

Went to get a RWC, could not get the car on the hoist due to the side skirts, so the mechanic said "Ahh, it should be fine under there"

Went to check the front lights, the front parkers were not working, mechanic said "You will get around to fixing them"

So with the RWC out the way, I went to the QLD department of transport.

Filled out the right forms, waited another 30min to get served, went out side to get the vehicle checked. the lady could not read the engine number, so I read it out for her because it was too had to read. Luckly I had rembered the engine number from before hand.

Went back inside with paper work inhand, she went thru everything, went off to talk to the supervisor and came back to tell me I needed the original import approval, not a copy.

I got staight onto the phone to IAMSHE to ask for it. Phil advised me that after doing over 600 cars in QLD they never once need the original, a copy was fine.

So it did not matter what I said they would not register it. I will have wait another 2 days to get the original and then it should be on the road.

I have been waiting 6 months now, so what is another 2 days

[Terminal]

what a pain in the arse. could you just go to another shop front and see if they'll pass you?

[munchstagea]

I had the same question asked and all I had was the copy, which they accepted in the end but in reality in the hands of whom ever you meet at the counter. I was in there for near on 2 hours while they tried to work out what they were supposed to do so I had a bit of luck I think... I waited 3 solid months for my car to get here and I would have been fuming if I had missed rego because of a photocopy or fax of an import approval (how would the car have cleared customs without that?) that sort of stuff really sh*ts me!

Hope you get it sorted soon!
