Melbourne Meet?

[RB2600]

my suggestion.

Is to go drive a few 32Rs and then you will officially want one. I used to have one, and living in the north, without secure parking means well, my car went missing about a month after i moved here. I really should have continued staying in the east, but hindsight is always 20/20.

i'm getting a soarer on saturday, so cant help you with the test ride. but i'm always keen to meet new people..

Dude that sucks..seriously..unfortunately I have heard of a few stories of skylines being stolen in the past. One that I remember clearly is the MP 34 vspec 2 that was stolen from essendon Westfield on the back of a truck. I am para too but I guess you just have to take all preventative measures and make sure you have full comp.

Regarding driving the 32R's I'm assuming you mean to go to somebody whos currently got one for sale and ask for a test drive? I would if I was buying locally, but I'm honestly looking to import through yoshi. I find it a bit cruel to ask someone for a test drive when I'm not even intending to buy their car, just so I can test their car out. That's why I have chosen to take this approach, so I can meet people and make some friends along the way.

Glad to hear you've got the soarer lined up, and I'm sure it'll be well locked up of not already in a safe carpark!

[PENGUYEN]

Aka you're using people! >:|

Haha jokes.

wheel clamps and shit planned out.

But why import? There are decent ones for sale. I did have full comp, but they're slow anyway. So my dad is sponsoring the car till i get the insurance money.

this one, i went to see this car, it is in very good condition, and quite a nicely modified example, i would have gotten it, if not for the fact that I am actually counting on investing some money. I'll be in a gt-r end 2012 though. hopefully, to outrun the earthquakes when the world ends.

[xALmoN]

Nah, not use people. You ARE looking for a 32R. And even in japan, neat examples are few and far apart. Why not check out cars already in victoria, and see which one you like? There a lot of 32Rs for sale at the moment.

[RB2600]

Alvin, just checked out that one, does seem quite good. Thanks for that mate. I'll try and organize with the buyer to check it out cheers for that. What really interests me is that it was tuned by race pace. From the little that ive researched, he's one of melbourne's more popular tuners?

[MUZT3K]

Yo James are you getting another sky? I heard you sold the white one from Ben

Was good seein ya briefly on freeway the other week as well

Thats a suprise hehe..hows the beast going? Bens apparently selling his

yup, and its a good price, offer him 15, and you'll be set, it comes with stock parts too, so can prolly sell all the stock parts and get some money back..

i really wanted the car, tell andrew that i said sorry for not buying his car, i really liked it,

has a few dents but nothing a few hundred dollars cant fix.

[RB2600]

Gosh..it's too good to be true! In all honesty, what else other than a couple of dents did you notice about this car? E.G rust in boot/undercar, chassis damage, condition of body/interior not matching km etc

I didn't expect to come across one so neat so quickly. I was hoping to have found one in Japan in November when I'm there for 2 weeks or when I get back. I was going to set out a good 6 months of searching for a decent R.

I've already PM'ed him so we'll see when I can go over to have a look at it.

Decisions!!

[MR VSPEC]

Glenroy lol I'd like to cruise sometime

[Sunkist]

Glenroy lol I'd like to cruise sometime

lol i probably wouldnt go anywhere in a GTR on my p's with a group haha

[RB2600]

Whoa dude, you must be waiting to get spanked..red p plates driving a 33 vspec? lol

Another one came up tonight for $16k. Gunmetal grey as well.

Nowhere near as equipped as the other one though, and it looks pretty average even in photos..in real life; probably worse.

But hey, gotta see it to find out I guess.

[R31Nismoid]

Ahh fair enough. I can swear on a left one that I've seen a 33gtr driving past me when I left work once. I couldn't tell if it was black or MP cos it was getting dark when I clocked off.

But yeah, I'm sure you've seen that grey evo 8mr around too. Looks gorgeous but still a cheater's car

Funny you say you see many skylines roaming around that area; I must be coming out at the wrong times!

EVO9 perhaps?

The owner is a Club Member/Mate also, he lives in the same block i do hehe.

I walk to/from work though, infact i walk almost everywhere as its all 5mins (Vic St, Viet) etc.

Hence i see a lot more than a 1-2min drive through would

[R31Nismoid]

lol i would hate to admit it but when we pulled over on the side of the road, i had to piss sooooooo bad. so go around the corner and unleash a torrent on someones fence. then i hear the sound of multiple RB's starting up and pulling away. i sprint as hard as i can and get back to the car and speed off using the sound of the others as a guide, i catch up and am following leigh. leigh pulls over. i stop to check if hes alright, thus losing the others. ended up finding alex and some of the others that were also lost lol

Ah so you had your little crank out of its pouch and were caught unawares?

[Mohsen]

Yeah, it has some weird exhaust on though, not quite sure what that is, but it does look stock or something. Go see it, and tell me. No problems. Interior is in good condition, didn't spot any rust on hinges or corners. Its kept under shelter all the time. So yeah, he takes care of his car.

[HEKT1K]

Probably the only time Mohsen will ever be caught with his pants down

[Sunkist]

Probably the only time Mohsen will ever be caught with his pants down unless standing in front of someone

great, i texted him this morning so just waiting on a reply from him to see when i can go have a look at it.

[RB2600]

Yeah, it was more of a spontaneous thing, and also cos everyone seems to be hibernating in winter so I was trying to get you's revved up a little

But hey if nobody's free tonight, then yeah I reckon a car wash night tomorrow night sounds like a plan!
