B S I worked hard to make my own luck

At 28 years old I had 1 kid, no car and about $400

nose down arse and worked 2 jobs starting 7am finishing at 1am 19 hour day working

nobody gives it to you

couldn't afford a house til I was 35

I meant nothing insulting by what I said.

The funniest thing is that "carl" has probably made more posts than what Jeff has. lol

You should have infact borrowed Sputnik of Bris :merli:

My new rule No 1 "never give Pete your password to a forum name"

Congrats. That looks awesome. Can't wait to see it in the flesh.

I believe a few importers managed to get a low volume import scheme license for the R35. They can only bring in something like 20 per year maximum and only until they are sold locally at which time they must cease. From what I was told, several workshops teamed together to buy the license as it was damn expensive so each of them get an allocation of those 20 cars. This was just work of mouth from someone who knows the industry, so correct me if im wrong.

Hey SpecV. Did you head down Phillip Island way last weekend? I'm positive it was a Red R35 GTR. I'm pretty sure I past (going the other way NOT overtaking) you on way through Grantville.

I would have turned around to see what the old GTR had, but I was running late for a wedding. I'm sure my insanely quick VW Polo GTI would have given you a run for your money...... :D

Nice ride. Looked tough as on the road, a real weapon. I'm sure she goes like stink.

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.  
    • I'm shocked, you've owned a Skyline since 2006 and never joined SAU before now! 😮   Welcome, it's much quieter these days than it was in 2006, but lots of very knowledgeable ones lurk around here. I actually think in outage we've forgotten more about Skylines than anyone knows about them today... 😛
    • So it could give us some info. Such as we find out what number they started at, and we know how many of those blocks came before it.
