Finally managed to get the pictures off the camera!

She is a bit dirty and rough so hold back on the negativity :)

Outside:

wide angle

car from distance

rims with sick snow tyres!

front bar

car in driveway

front bar close to my driveway

rear end

rear end 2

Engine Bay

Interior

inside

omori guages

recaro bucket

Damage

dent in bonnet

rear left damage (worst)

rust spot

Overall once I fix up the dent in the rear and that rust spot it will be all good. I think she is pretty sexy. Exhaust needs to be done.. that one has a little hole in it which makes a humming noise;/

Anyway I look forward to seeing you all out and about! :wassup:

The only downfall (and subsequently first thing to be rectified) is that it's an auto.

yes you heard right feel free to start hanging shit.

BUT

that being said I got it pretty damn cheap so I managed to fit insurance/compliance/rego/alarm and shit into my loan money. For a uni student with no parents to support him, that's a good thing!

Just for the record it came with the following:

Omori guage panel (oil/water temp, oil pressure, ext temp)

GReddy boost guage

Nismo 260km/h dash cluster

KYB Super Street 4 way adjustable suspension (springs I'm unsure about, not stock because my original shocks + springs were in the boot)

Blitz super sound BOV (not on the car, was in a kit in the boot)

HKS EVC (old school one like in meggala's ceffie - not plugged in was sitting in the glovebox)

SAFC (again old school item with the 5 knobs)

3inch exhaust (pretty crappy mild item but does the job)

Recaro bucket + 4 point harness

my climate control box was moved to my glovebox (gotta love more room for more guages!)

GTR front bar/bonnet/skirts/rear bar/wing/I think the rear guards are pumped or GTR items/r33 grille (think it's an r33 grille.. anyone know?)

Think that's everything

Looks awesome, i like the grill, looks good and probably 1/4 the price of a gtr one.

Also, from the engine bay pic it looks like it has a remote oil filter kit, which is handy coz its a bitch to get to it in the normal place.

And youve got a strut brace, dont forget that.

Itll clean up good.

Congrats on the purchase. Pity it's auto tho, but nice never-the-less.

I'm curious as to how they fitted the high-center-rear brake light, cos AFAIK a GTR wing doesn't come with it.

I have a GTR replica bar sitting in my shed atm (plastic as far as I can tell)... makes me want to put it back on, but it'll scrape the hell outta everything (car is lowered slightly).

Thanks for all the kind comments. The manual conversion is the first thing on my list don't you worry.

Yeah mine is stupid low and scrapes on everything too.. more so because I wasn't used to the ride height and was doing this maybe a little too quickly heh.

Didn't the GTR come with the brake light in the wing? Interesting..

A quick question relating to rubber. I'll have to get some new rubber because the ones on the car are winter/snow tyres.. what do you suggest I do:

a) find a 32 owner and borrow his for a few hours at the pits?

B) buy some new rubber for it..

I don't have a heap of cash so might go for second hand rubber if that's the path I'll take.. anyone know prices on second hand rubber?

There's a post on tyres. Here's what japcab had to say.

North End tyres bro

14a carrick drve,

tullamarine.

Second hand tyres with 85%-95% tread on em.

Cheap as chips, i scored 285/R18/30 Pirelli Pzeros for $150 fitted.

check em out.

Personally i will get my tyres from them to. Oh and nice car. :)

    • 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
