New Skyline

[Sarumatix]

Has arrived! A bit of a monster but she seems to be running fine and is in a lot better condition than I had expected (the interior seems to be almost flawless ). Really happy about it and looking forward to joining the elite . The engine idled very smoothly.

The only damage that was obvious was a little push on the front right (when facing it) making some of the panels slightly off. Some chips of paint missing and the panels above the rear door going down to the boot are rough, I think it's just old paint and will need to be touched up. Waiting for RWC though .

Anything I should be careful about? I intend on getting a full service while it's at the mechanic. Should I ask for new sparkplugs and a compression test?

all in all good service too, but I had to wait 4 months to finally have it here, bloody shipping . Surprisingly it has a carbon fibre topped bonnet which wasn't even listed in the mods to the car. I guess you can say I got lucky with this one.

I only wish it was ready last weekend so I could have taken it to philip island . Ohh well.

AWESOME!

I take it UPI are complying it 4 ya?

[RTFGTR]

Nice car dude!

Any plans of your own for the car... rims, kit or engine?

[Sarumatix]

Yeah UPI are handling it .

ATM i'm just going to focus on getting it up and running and cleaning anything which needs work. I don't really want to think past that until i'm totally happy with the car as it is . Although I confess to putting my name down for a window tint already .

Coped the first bit of bad news today.. clutch is rooted , gotta get a new one.. owch. Probably happened after I bought the car too, which totally sucks. On the flip side the car apparently drives really well .
