The Journey Over From The Dark-Side Is Almost Complete!

[-Boz-]

Hi all,

After the floods in Brisbane claimed my DC5 Integra (thankfully that was all the floods claimed off of me, too many others lost far more then I did ) I have decided to come on board with the RB brigade. If all goes well I should be taking ownership of an automatic '98 R34 GT-T by mid week. Almost entirely stock apart from the exhaust and a lovely set of Tein coil-overs and EDFC. The car needs a bit of TLC but it's hard to find a Skyline, or any 13 year old car for the point, that doesn't need a bit of loving from a good owner.

It's in decent shape according to the guys at APC at Underwood (to quote them "About what you would expect from a 13 year old Skyline and in much better condition the many of them on the roads." They were good, friendly guys, will definitely be going back) so hopefully it will be the start of a long and loving relationship with my new car as I slowly try and coax it up to about 220-250rwkw. First stop, new rubber, shift kitted and strengthened gear box and new intake before a full service and a tune on the dyno to see where we stand!

Hopefully I will get to meet a few of you up here in Brisbane as time goes by and share some good times and the odd cruise/meet up as well.

Welcome to site mate

I'm relatively new here also - only started posting few days ago even though signed up years and years ago

I also live in Brisbane and building a GTR up, we'll have to catch up one day and go for cruise or something

Picked up my new baby today

Happy as a pig in mud, took it out for a nice long cruise, figured out what most of the switches are for (got a couple of switches I can't figure out as yet, one with a picture of a steering wheel near the gear stick surround and a weird little potentiometer installed under the dash but in an easy to reach position), can't figure out how to make the sceen/CD player work... I'm guessing it's stuffed or I'm just an idiot. All in all I couldn't be happier. Getting a new alarm/immobiliser installed on Friday then it's off to get the gear box overhauled before I start chasing down a few more ponies to cram under the hood
