nice lookin GTR mate. looks like someone gave it a wash for u too

[jlnewton]

It does look like it has had a wash. Nice looking car mate. If you need a stock 33 GTR exhaust for compliance I have one here in my garage.

[frankxinyu]

thanx for the positive comments guys. as im actually overseas atm, my broker is doing everything for me.( they probally washed it).

my broker owns a RAW workshop so i think he is gonna put on a stock exhaust for the compliance. thanx for that any way. if there is a problem, ill let u know.

really looking forward to cruising with some of u and meeting some other skyline owners. haha

Nice Blue dude.

Heres my Prince (im sorta against neo Nissan cos of the whole rivalry between Renault [owners of Nissan] and McLaren [i live n breath this F1 team], so i refer to them as Prince Skylines, Datsun Zeds etc.)

Now that is Fresh Japan. So dusty u can carve it.

I was thinking about getting the bonnet cut n try n fix some sorta Grille (doesnt hafta be a GTR grille, as i kno the GTR dudes will pay me out). As u can see the dent doesnt look too good.

Also, the wheels n windows are gonna get as black as legally possible.

Holy crap, thats my Skyline, the white R33 GTS-t in front of the RX-7, withthe Now Racing Nissan Prince Chiba sticker on it like below. How crazy is that!!

Hey Jen-

Just Curious, do not feel the need to reply but is the price estimated by Prestige in your link been reliable? Sounds like a great deal. Good luck with everything.

Hey Ron

Im actually still waiting for it. Just made the payment about 3 weeks ago.

It is more expensive than the last car i've imported (300zx @ 300,000 Yen came to $3k, the skyline @ 250,000 Yen came to $3.2k, but thats just exchange rates with 12 months different.)

I just gotta hope that the shipping price n tax etc. will be under $3k as well, to match up with Prestige Motorsports estimate. My last broker was off by about $300-400.

so we'll hafta see.

i though ur car has already landed. its a pretty good price. hope everything goes well.

[Beer Baron]

when was the exchange rate 100 yen per AUD??12 months ago mate it was 80 yen per AUD. in fact in recents weeks the rate of 90 yen per AUD is the best it's been as far back as i can remember.

[frankxinyu]

i bought some for around 86 per AUD when i had to pay for my car. would be pretty good if it was 100.

[dezz]

i got shafted about $400 dollars by paying in the afternoon for my car, rather than that same morning when i checked how much it would cost lol

[R33GTRVSPEC]

Heres some pics of my car, had it for a week and a half now.

[frankxinyu]

very nice and clean R33GTRVSPEC!

nice blue as well

Yeah, I wish too. If I'd gotten my arse into gear back in December I'd have saved a few hundred.

Just blew my wad of yen at 85 to the $ on this old thing from Hokkaido. Supposed to have R33 N1 motor and R34 N1 snails.

The wait begins.

Note the missing gauges in top pic

[lows_13]

Do cars coming from japan to australia generally arrive in the same condition as when they left? or are they always damaged?

[FurryBarry]

89 model R32 got here via Kiwi and Toll car carriers yesterday and came through with only the boost guage nicked, which I'm happy with as they didn't touch the boost controller, turbo timer or the hand controller. They didn't nick the TE37's either and there are no new scratches or dings that I can see.

I'll post pics soon as this is what the thread is about I suppose.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the smilies menu from the post reply screen? They're giving me the shiites.
