I'm glad you arrived home safely mate. The car definitely got the buyer it deserved which says a lot about yourself and the car. as for what it sold for guys it doesn't really matter. he was happy, i was happy (ish!) so that's all that counts. :P and you were a pleasure to deal with too mate and very patient with all the running around etc.

great pics and little journal of the drive too. I'm pleased she treated you so well on the way home too. luck there is 100 J-pop albums in the "m catcher" as you must have needed nearly all of them on a drive that big.

I can't wait to see pics with the new headlights. :P

congrats man. if thats your house ud be a very lucky man waking up to that view over the city then opening the shed up and having an r34 gtr staring at you.

I wish it was my house!

Its the highest house in Cairns, on top of the tallest hill closest to the coast. Probably 10Mil worth easy. Funny thing is that nobody lives there. They just pay to have the place maintained like a millionare would. So its always made a great photograph place.

Dammit I wish I had of known you were cruising through Rocky in it, I would have been parked on the highway waiting for a glimpse!

Very lovely car, its amazing how perfect they look stocko.

Cheers, Grant

Congrats mate.

Perfect example of how a 34GTR should be.

Im sure you will giggle like a school kid everytime you get in it.

I dont giggle but it definatly puts a smile on my face. :P

Im not sure what time it was when I passed through Rocky but I think i had lunch there at a war mermorial on the north side around 12:30 or something. I left Gympie saturday morning around 8am I think.

Yeah the slighly lowered stance and wheel spacer to fill the guards make all the diference. Im fitting the new lights this weekend. Had a look last night and it turns out the entire front end needs to come off the car to access a mounting bolt on the headlight assembly that is located at the outer side of the light (between the guard and the parker light). I think thats going to take quite a bit of time to do properly and carefully.

      Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.

      You would need to paint your hardtop again though
