new car

[atticus]

I've decided to say goodbye to my skyline. either that or turn it into a rally car for weekend use. The reason being: I bought a chaser yesterday. It only took about 4 weeks to find one and win it (at auction). But the patience has paid off, and now I have a white (pearl?) JZX100 Manual, getting ready to be shipped to its new home.

Its only a series one, and a '96 model, but still teh JZX100. I had to go older to be able to afford the manual. theyre in high demand and not easy to come buy. was bidding on maybe 8 a week, and just missing out. I dont have any pics yet, and wont for about another week. Apparently its "Golden Week" in japan, which i figure is just a week of public hols. once i get better pics ill post them. I only have the ones that came with the auction sheet.

The only thing now is to wait...and find some sites that have parts for these cars. they're harder to find than fruit in a fat kids lunch box.

I imported it through imports101, and recommend them to anyone thinking of importing (or again).

anyway, just thought i'd let you all know. its no 34gtr, but its enough to piss off alot of V8 lovers around my town. and theres a lot, i live in bathurst.

Saw one at the compliance workshop I got my car complianced at. They look great and then you see it in person and you'll wet your pants . Fantastic looking cars.. congrats man.

Good to hear. I wish mine was a manual. I had to decide between auto series 2 or manual series 1, and chose the auto. Those manuals really push the price up. I'm still not sure if I made the right decision, though.

I second the call for pics too. Danny should send you a set of high res ones like mine.

BTW Did you end up needing a set of wheels?

[atticus]

Yeah he said he'd get pics to me ASAP.

I think I will need wheels. I'll see what happens closer to when it gets here. It has pretty simple 6 spokes on it. danny might be able to find some wheels for me for compliance. dunno yet.
