Thanks guys!

I have pics but only from the importer, id rather post my own once i get her, so dont worry i will ASAP!

Already ordered one of those rear strut brace from Jin Man, and trying to figure out what wheels im getting too.

Have to go see my mechanic and start talking about the money im going to have to spend on her....

heh, mine hit the docks about 2 months ago. only just cleared 2 weeks and pick it up from compliance on thursday.. Lets hope customs in Sydney aren't as swamped as Adelaide was :miner:

Well from what i've been told, it should only be 4-5 down at the docks and then straight to compliance, the biggest thing to delay it at the docks is really

the steam cleaning....i've got a mate who imports cars and he has two cars of his own on the same ship as mine and is expecting receivership of those

early next week....time will tell.

  • 4 weeks later...

okay well after a little bit of stuffing around, i finally got her towed home to my place last night, and my

god, what a beautiful car! such a nice ride and everything is fantastic. Though the car could do with a bit

of a buff and polish. But i am stoked can't wait to have rego done, a mate is doing it for me so i dont have

to deal with that "random" check n wait a month n stuff. Will post pics once i get a bit of time. Oh and for

anyone on here who is a bit switched on with electrics n things, wonder if they can help me out here?

I put a new battery in, as the one the car came with was totally dead. Now the stereo n headlights and

everything else works great, EXCEPT the car wont start. I can clutch start it no worries, but cant start with

the key. When i turn the key there is nothing, no noise or anything, i think my mate said not even any clicking

or noise from the solenoid for the starter motor? any ideas?

yeah Ian i might make an appearance, though wont be jumping on the dyno as she is basically stock standard.

But would be a good chance to see a few other nice cars n to show off my new pride and joy :(

might also have to organize a photo shoot with you once ive done what i need to do to her hehe

yeh kinda tossing up what to do with her....ive had the speed side of things with my last car,

and to be honest to get good times out of a car like this is gonna cost a bit....so im thinkin

i might airbag the thing n go down that path....

    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
    • If you do make them, im sure you would have a number of buyers.. Every GTR I've been in have rattly door windows
