Just got me a GTS1

[Guest KMale]

Well I just picked up GTS1 SVD #157 and I must say ...I had almost forgotten how much fun these cars are. I sold these new back in 1988 and the way they drove then left a lasting impression on me.

Technically this is the wifes new drive car as she wanted to quit the Hyundai Lantra wagon. She claims it leaves her feeling brain dead which I understand perfectly Anyhow ...expect to see Cambo and I rock up with it at the next cruise ...I don't need much of an excuse to strap this baby on

Not sure if we will make it to the drags this Sunday but we will try. Does anyone have any idea how long the lane is booked for ? Like will people still be there at 2 or 3 PM ??

ps. Anyone want to buy a Lantra wagon ?? It holds lots of stuff and doesn't drink very much

[PSI_GTSII]

You should bring it down to the drags.......I would like to check out those Slotted DBA rotors its running for my GTSII

[Guest KMale]

PSI_GTSII ...I will try to get down ...it will be fun. I just got heaps on tomorrow so its a bit of a juggling excercise. Do you think if I roll up about 2 or 3 pm there will still be any action ??

[PSI_GTSII]

The day finishes at 4pm, starts at Noon.

Last entries to race are at 3pm.

I'm only takin my Pintara wagon and will probably only do 2 or 3 passes so I doubt I'll still be there...

If you could be there at 2 there should be plenty happening, by 3pm things will be winding down a bit;)

For those that like to see pictures ....well here are a couple that I have taken today. You will see that the previous owner hacked up the front grill (i'll strangle him) because if was getting too hot idling in traffic with the air/con on. He didn't think to replace the viscious coupling fan clutch which is stuffed.

nice car how much was it ?

[Guest KMale]

The guy was asking $9000 but I didn't think it was worth that. I wont say what I paid but I expect that if I put it on the market here in Perth I would get somewhere between $7000 and $8000 as it is.

The drive line is pretty strong with only a few minor problems. The interior is also above average condition with only a couble of blemishes. The body work is above average condition but I am planning to give it a coat of paint and sort a couple of ripples and minor blemishes out.

I really want to get rid of that hacked up grill as well ...it annoys me

[R31 POWER]

Looks tough,I like the muffler.

[PSI_GTSII]

Shit yeah he hacked up the grille alright!!....iiiidiot

I got this bit of info once as I was lookin for one........If you buy one let me know I might grab one as well.......discount for 2

"ring ml wreckers the link is on the top of our web page (r31skylineclub) speak to max he can put you in contact with the guy who has the mould and sells them"

[Guest KMale]

PSI ...Thanks mate. I will be getting another grill so I will follow this guy up. I was thinking of repairing the existing one since it is only the flat section that was screwed with. I think the job would be OK but a new one would be better

[Guest KMale]

R31 Power ...Thanks mate ...the muffler not only looks good as the car sounds very sweet. Nothing like a mild cam and a hiflow exhaust system to warm the ****les of the heart huh

[PSI_GTSII]

If you do go the new one let me know I'll grab one as well

(I'm to lazy to do it myself )

[R31 Chick]

Well, sadly from the weather it was cancelled. I have now planned 22nd June! We will have a lane booked for the R31ers then! Looking forward to seeing it! Are you gonna let Cambo drive it?

[DCIEVE]

hehe yeah last few times i ran at kwinana they didnt check licences

that car looks very tough, put a series two front end on it if anything. is it auto or manual?

[Guest KMale]

22nd June would be nice. Hopefully I will have some better quality tires by then. My wife is keen to have a go at the quarter mile so I don't think having the GTS step out sideways on her would NOT be a good idea.

Cam is not quite ready to take the GTS down the strip ...maybe later in the year after I have taught him how to launch and how to drive fast without destroying the car.etc.

[Guest KMale]

PSI ...OK mate ...I'll start to look into it. How much are you expecting to pay ?

DCIEVE ....Its a manual ...all the GTS1's were manuals. Quite a few of the GTS2's were auto's

[PSI_GTSII]

Hmmm......Probably about $180 - 200........but hopefully less

[R31 Chick]

I look forward to seeing it Kym!

Make sure it is there for all to drool over.

My daughter pointed that one out to me in the Auto Trader as she knows I want another one. Unfortunately building a new house plus garage is full ATM.

Having said that if anyone sees #101 I want it back for a full restoration:)

Cheers

[Guest KMale]

Hey R34 ...my garage is worse than full ...its spilling out onto the street. Last count we got 5 cars here. I need to sell the Lantra wagon bad ...its such a pain shifting these cars about LOL However I just couldn't resist the GTS ...I have wanted one of these forever and the price was right.
