No, no...

Just hasn't 'met' chook before, I knew it was a person just not sure who or how!!

Just thought Mr 'Buck' Rogers was the only messaih around here, didn't know there was another naughty boy.

(Check Monty Python if you don't understand)

As for the reference to Nth Melbourne, didn't you see the 'chookgate' scandal late last week?

Well this is the car i was keen on. You might understand why i didnt just go for a premium model...

But then i found out that its not a real deal s-tune, but rather a base model with just the body kit and wheels. No other nismo goodies in sight. It went for WAY too much, somebody must have thought it was real :D

The equivilent cost to us would be $38,000 landed and complied. Keep in mind that it is a 2004 base model with no leather, no tv, no bose system, and it didnt have any other nismo goodies (standard speedo, standard exhaust, standard suspension, etc). It did have a sunroof tho.

But yes, it is one hell of a hot car. I love the nismo kit especially with the bigger air dams and blacker headlights.

I have about 20 more photos if anybody wanted me to email them.

Way too much considering it's not a real S-tune and an early 2003-2004 model. but if it's a real S-tune you'd be having a headache if the engineer know it's not 'standard', you may be up for expensive compliance process or re-exportation...

I know prices can't compete to back when A$ was over 90 JPY, but for $38k+ in my opinion at the end of the day you'll be a lot happier if you have a premium... just keep looking till the right one turn up.

I agree.

You will be surprised how cheap they are now though, even with the yen at only 72. A 6 speed white 03 model non premium went for less than 1.1m fob the other day, which is what, $22k landed and complied??

Anyway. I dont like my chances of another nismo kitted one popping up soon, so i may just end up with a random premium of some sort..

Thanks for the help :D

      You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
