Hey all, long time lurker of these forums, but having finally pulled the trigger on buying a skyline, thought I should join and get more involved.

 

Bought a 1999 GT-R V-spec at auction in japan, through an agent. Car is still in japan, just waiting to get it shipped to Perth.

 

Needs some compliancing, most notably a new steering wheel. Also needs a bit of work, a bit of surface rust on the bottom, loose front left fender, but overall decent enough condition to drive for a while before I start refreshing a few things.

 

Looking forward to picking the brains trust here!

Nice! Welcome, great to see new members with new cars still posting here.  Looks like nice stock car that you won't be scared of putting kms on!  Who did you go through in WA, prestige?  Did you have a good experience bringing it in?  Leather seats look like a nicely done job too.

 

Any goals for the car short/long term?

Car was purchased through J-spec. Did a bit of searching around, but they gave (at least what seemed to me) the most thorough feedback to my questioning. Experience with them has been good so far, car is still in Japan so I'll let you know how the rest goes.

      NC MX5

      Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.

      As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
