Get the GT-R!

Not likely, Pete. Its pretty much down to an evo wagon now. Ive seen some nice examples on the net in the last couple of days for under 28k. That thing should sell damn quick once its in Oz and i know without doubt that i wont lose a penny on it.

Im not going to spend 50k on a mint GTR only lose 20k when it gets there.

Evo wagon...Probably the safest choice... not the car that i wanted the most but, meh, im not complaining. :D

FD RX7...

all I can say is f**king Jetstar, what a pack of f**king gay f**kf**ks. But FINALLY I am back in this stupid country.

You should have known that from the start Lorry. What did they do to you?

Oh and FD, nope, not an option but that car is horn.

No it hasnt.

Ive come to a decision. Its going to be an evo wagon.

Im on the hunt and looking at a few different examples. There are quite a few on the market at the moment oddly enough even though they only made 2500 of them, 400 of those are MR models so, that will narrow things down quite nicely.

Golden week in Japan is coming up so im aiming for an April purchase. Ill have 10 days off to get used to driving it.

Im so stoked.

Yeah, Omar...cereal has been pretty negative in the past. He seemed to be speaking for all of us which i didnt like..so...

anyways, yeah im pretty happy and confident with the choice ive made.

Ill post some pics of the car once ive chosen it.

Thanks to those who helped with the decision.

you'll want to get in quick - unless you are lucky to buy in the same ken, as the paperwork can take a while

I signed the contract on this today:

Haha, looks like we'll both be bringing wagons back. :D

Yes, im looking for a car in Tokyo and thats where most of them are so thats a good thing.

I dont think its ugly. Unless you were referring to the evo? :D

Point is and i know someone mentioned it before, is that these two wagons are among the rarest cars in Australia and as such they are a sure bet.

No doubt about it and ill take 'em ugly warts and all. :down:

Yeah, shame it's four hours away!

It's not about liking the car (that's dangerous! I can vouch for that from experience), it's about the $. That said, I've had a JDM forester before and absolutely loved it - they are sensational. Looking forward to seeing how the 2.5L goes.

I have to have four doors, and I wanted an evo, but the only ones making $ are evo 8MR and above, and I couldn't quite justify pushing the budget that far.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
