These probably won't get a great reception here, but I have them up everywhere else so they may as well go up here.

I am kinda tired of falcons and I want a change. Interested in a skyline or a supra or some other form of RWD import. N/A of course, because I'm on my P's. Unless you have a nice example turbo'd that could possibly go undetected. If you don't have anything to swap then I will sell. The EA and the Ute have to go before the AU is sold, as it's my daily commuter at the moment.

This is my EA. Tried to sell it a few times before when it was having troubles after a BBM conversion...

Anyway it's all sorted now and runs. RWC was given with an EB manifold, no longer current but can be arranged again for the car in its current state...

The car has 112,000 KM from memory and the engine has 130,000.

Clean inside, roof lining is bad, was sagging but repaired (not greatly) but the rest of the interior is great for an EA. It's a fairmont if that means anything to ya.

$3500

Comes with a near new gas tank. Needs to be hooked up, was hooked up but that was when car was CFI so it needs to be redone.

The car is running an EL ECU, BBM and Airbox. I haven't driven it but even with the EB manifold it had a fair bit of poke, I'm guessing it will go harder now.

Make an offer guys.

2000 AU Futura, SR interior. Just over 200,xxx km. Extremely nice car to drive, no performance mods. Always ran on premium and oils changed. Has had slight ding in rear end that I attempted to repair. (see pics)

Welcome to the Import scene! You will definately not regret the change, will make you realise how badly that AU really drives.... Best of luck with the sale, How long til you are off your P's? maybe put up with the AU for a little longer and go straight into a Turbo?

Thanks for the well wishes, I hope it's a painless change lol. Skylines are excellent, just like a sexy road going go kart haha (the hicas scares me though, will definitely be budgeting a lock out bar so I can have it done ASAP after I buy one). I don't have a family of my own so I don't need a bus lol. I'm on my P's for another year and a half or so, but QLD has introduced a new law stating that P platers can advance to their open licence if they complete a defensive driving course. I'm selling a nitro racing car, so hopefully I'll have enough cash to do the course, then I'll be able to go straight to turbo!

Good luck with the sale mate.

But in regards to this "new law", where did you see this for QLD?

They are only just talking about it for VIC, so introducing it in QLD would be far.

If you've got details, i'd be very interested to know what the changes are going to be, I did a google and checked QT, no comment on it as they do when they introduce changes:

Cheers mate! I read it in the Sunday Mail (I have a topic about it, if you search my posts you'll find it). I rang QLD transport today for confirmation and was told that it looked like it was going to go ahead but hasn't been given the OK just yet. There will obviously be a huge press release, due to the fact it will be a pretty controversial plan. The sooner the better I say, haha. The info on the net is limited, so I'm really hoping the Sunday Mail and the QT person I spoke to this morning wasn't blowing smoke up my ass.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
