yes i bought it so cheap you couldnt even import a stock auto at that price, i have calculated the cost to take mods off then put it back on. Mine is also white, its a total stock looker on the outside.  

I already bought R34 GTR wheels for it and full GTR kit. If i have cash ill do a pearl gold, pink or some other funky colour paint job over it. Hopefully it will arrive on the 11th may but people will see a lot of this car in the city, ill definately make it stand out since there are too many skylines around. heres a couple of pics, oh anyone by anychance have any idea what turbo it could be(i know its hard to c)? Supplier said its a garret though...

my car is not very modified and i got defected the other day and now have to go to regency, if i were u with an engine bay like that, mainly looking at the high mount turbo i would be trying to keep my car as inconspicuous as possible, i'm currently in the process of trying to sell my 18's due to this fact! just my 2c

If i were you i would keep it stock lookin

If you want to stay out of cop trouble then i keep it that way!

On another note that is a nice buy dude, can't wait to see it out, PLUS stay away from the city!

An external gate through the city would be, um, attention getting

From my experience i think you'll find you'll need to add another $2800 or so for landed price. But thats still good buying.

not really, i record a lower purchase price to reduce 10% duty plus another 10%gst on top and i also have my own agents to do paperwork to save even more.

Yeh the top mount is a concern once the cops pop open the hood and worried the BOV will draw to much attention, thinking of a plumback. I dont know about being picked on with 18in tho, i had them on my 300zx for 6 months and had no trouble, i also drive into city a lot but will scrap the cf bonnet and paint job idea:(

    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear! Stock quantities: NA1 Honda NSX - 1 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1990-na1-honda-nsx 1973 Toyota Celica LB 2000GT - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1973-toyota-celica-lb-2000gt 1968 Mazda Cosmo Sport - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1968-mazda-cosmo-sport 1970 KPGC10 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1970-kpgc10-nissan-skyline-2000gt-r
    • When you say basic rebuild, you mean an oem rebuild?
