haha go for it mate, i have no clue what you guys are talking about so some tein coil-over part numbers that would be ok to use would be nice :P lol

Can't speak for BCs in a C34, but I just got a set of HSDs for mine: spring rates differed significantly (mine are harder by about 10%) to the BC off the shelf offering, and I love it: might be a little firm for a daily driver, but dare I say better handling and more comfortable than the "Sydneykid" setup I was running before...

Just an update, cars all arrived and registered, should have updated this alot earlier. Absolutely loving the car! No problems as of yet, need to find a nice set of coil overs for her pretty soon as she needs alot more low! just re installed the HID lights due to compliance and hopefully get around to ordering my custom number plates within the next couple weeks.

went away this weekend and got a decent picture off the car, pity i didnt have my good camera on me and only had my phone.

Also im about to buy some new wheels and tyres, i test fitted a 18 inch wheel with a lower profile tyre and the speedo was out by about 10kmh, any way i can fix this ? or is it something ill have to put up with when running a smaller profile tyre ? thanks!

I was like yes, yes, yes, hmmmm ok...... NO!

Stickers.... :(

At least they are removable.

Yea im still not sure if i will keep all the stickers. Wouldn't mind just one decent looking and sized sticker along the back window but thats still something i have to find. Just can't wait till i get my new wheels!

Such a beautiful car and well looked after. So I see you haven't put the roof wrap on as yet. Whats happening with that. Im thinking of a black roof wrap. Just deciding on gloss or matt

About the roof wrap, Ive been on holidays so once i saved my pennies for the coilovers the rest went on spending money while i was away haha. So hopefully the roof wrap is only a couple weeks away! Its still happening, Dont have to worry about that :P

Out of curiosity what profile size tyres you have on it?

Cant remember of the top of my head, Ill have a look for you when i get home tomorrow :)

Quick photoshop of the wheels i have put on pre order over at WORK Japan, and also the sticker bomb roof wrap ill hopefully be picking up this weekend.

I hope the rears fit too. Might get away with it due to flares and coilovers but for reference, here is how 19x9.5 + 30 sits on an RX (they are +40 with a 10mm spacer).

If 10.5 + 23 were there, it would stick out an extra 20mm roughly

    • 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.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
