I know it's not a Skyline, but after selling my R32 (3rd one I have owned haha) I decided to try a GD WRX which was definitely not the car for me, So I recently sold that and bought this....

1999 Mitsubishi Evolution VI (6) RS-2

She's basically a stock Grade 4 except for a HKS turbo timer, HKS Titanium exhaust and HKS Hipermax-Pro coilovers.

She arrives early next month!

R33 Vspec with some nice little mods, nothing major and just 85kms.

Wow, i take it that pic is after a detail.... but that looks brand new and in pristine condition! Cleanest one i have seen in a pic. Well done!

Does it drive as good as it looks? And who did you import through if you dont mind me asking! Nice!!

lol, sorry my lazy typing. it's got 85,000kms. yep it does drive very well, very nice interior too.

dizzle, car was bought by Mark Hocking of mytrading.

Nice, i to went through Mark.. glad to see he is still producing the goods!! Awesome car mate, congrats.. u must be rapt!

The first pics of my new baby.

Yep, I know it's auto, but I'm allowed. I'm 30, 2 kids, and drive 80k's a day in sydney traffic :-)

Besides, give's me a reason to winge to the Minister of Finance and Anything to do with Cars, for a GTR to muck around with on weekends.

Congrats on the new toy Bobby, I saw that one come through on the mailing list :rofl:

Thanks Nick,

Can't wait to get it here. I was tossing up between a V35 and an R33 Series 3 GTR, but the daily driver thing made me go for this.

Seeing Barons GTR above though makes me have second thoughs :-)

Arrghh!!

Can't believe you still take cars to Crystal in Chatswood. Don't get me wrong though - if I wanted more scratches in my paint from dirty old rags that's my number 1 destination.

lol, I don't take the 32 there (and never have since the paint work).... enough said. actually when I'm too lazy to wash the 32 I drive all the way to SCW on broadway!!

they actually did a decent job for me on this car though. I only went there as it was massively filthy (sent on a truck from SA).

Hey beer baron,

first off car looks great...

How were your dealings with mark hocking? have you used his services b4 to import a car? i was curious as in a couple editions of HPI they pretty much say he is the best there is when it comes to importing a car from japan.

Also curious to what the end product cost you to bring over ? if you dont mind listing the total cost to get in up and running in NSW

So now you have a R32 and R33 GTR on a nice cool sunday morning which car gets first choice to hit the street?

T

hey mate, yes i've dealt with mark before and never had any problems. he's been a friend of mine for a couple of years now so of course I wouldn't say any different but having been with him to auctions in japan i know he is good at what he does. no doubt about it.

as for that sunday morning question it's a tough one. yesterday I drove to work and took the lexus. after work I went home and was heading out to dinner with some friends. I thought about the 32, but decided on the 33 instead. it looks a bit less boy racer, and is quieter, and has softer suspension so is much easier to drive around town. but if I was heading up through the hills instead of to crows nest for dinner then I would be in the 32 no doubt. but they are very different cars. my 32 is extensively modified, the 33 is fairly standard.

    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
