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!!

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?

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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      Lifted R32? Jay (LowStandards) has you covered.

      I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
