the facts as I can see it is caveat emptor (let the buyer beware)

most of the people who ahve bought these cars have only done so on the advice of so called brokers. the rules had to change because of the amount of stuff that was being spammed out to every one with these low balling prices I cant wait till some of the people actually get some of the cars here and have to get them on the road especially in victoria Where i am.

I'm just upset I cant bring a laurel in for a while :D but I will get one. my hope is that the rules dont change and only allow stock cars not the modded ones.

cheers

Me be happy - my GTR that I imported 1 year ago from Japan is still worth what it cost me.

Now the zaust, PFC, boost kit, brake pads, repairs for a spin off at Collie, suspension.................., that's a different matter!

Finding the VIN numbers will be the key to 15 year imports a friend who is a buyier in Japan for some of the big players has nearly finished his collection of VIN numbers on all cars upto 20 years old that come into this country.

I have been sent a link to a car in free storage over in Japan and the only thing in short supply is bricks.

I would ask for info on my car if I had one sitting in Japan.

That looks like a Celsior, not much of a "Prestige" car now is it, I wonder whom is going to pay for the missing rims, smashed side skirts and window and god knows whats been ripped of from inside? the owner has still got to wait 8-12 months to import it. I would not be happy to leave it with no window for that long, it snows in Japan !!!!

That,s scarry stuff,

Rumor has it that there are 6x GTR32,s in much worse shape!!!!! if I had one over there I would be DEMANDING a up-to date photo and condition report ASAP... I dont know what supplier has these vehicles in Japan but I would not like to be one of his clients when there vehicles arrive.... might get messy!!!!

      C-red tuning?

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
