Cheers dude. Few thats a bit of a relief though, thought that the rear bumper was different but couldnt tell from the shadows.

It is so bloody frustrating to wait for a car, don't know how you regular importers do this all the time. :( I guess it will pay off in the end though :D

DAMNIT! why does everybody else have nice plenum and mine is missing paint allover! arrrrr

mark

hahaha, you buy me nismo one and you can have my one mate :)

That's what I'm willing to do for a mate :)

Yeah it looks a bit weird. Depends on how it looks I may get it repainted. Does it look ok in your opinon or would it look better being the same color as the rest of the car?

yeh it looks beter all painted,

but i respreying the whole bar for it

looks cool mate. As a side note, does anyone know what the crossed out number plate means? I'd always thought it meant that the car had been defected (cause I'd seen it on some heavily modified cars in Japan).

Also, make sure you get underneath it straight away as the pics of the car sitting in snow aren't a good sign rust wise...

hey guys, lots of nice looking GTRs, makes me even keener to get mine.

OohArrGTR, ive seen you around newi, looks fat. u dont need to use heatproof paint on plenums and what not, i used it on my exhaust manifold and thats it, for everything else i use regular acrylic paint in a pressure pack can. cam covers, other bits, brake calipers, brake discs. but why not polish it up?? ive done my inlet manifold, looks sweet.

well, you could take it all off and get it polished up, or you could take it off and buy the equipment and do it yourself, or you could take it off and rub it back with wet and dry, goin down in grit, or you could do what i did and leave it on the car and sand it back and getting lookin really smick in the areas ppl see. it takes a while, but i think on an rb26 getting the paint off would be the real trick, then you have to get the casting marks out of it. took me a few days, im still not quite finished.

cheers

    • 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
