Rust on your skyline

[foznice]

here you go:

Gotta love that red sticker:

[cowie165]

A 5-spd, with a sunroof, and a wheel in good condition, and the centre vent is unbroken AND it's black. Good job!

The red logo looks groovy. I really like the black GTSt's with the stock rims. My brother-in-law had one a few years back and it always looked nice without going over the top with bling like so many do these days.

Thanks for the pics mate!

I would have to agree.

nice car.

Congrats on the purchase.

but how long are going to have to wait for your P's? (If i may ask?)

[foznice]

thanks mark!... the center vents unbroken, but the passenger one isn't.... grrrrrr

cost 360,000yen FOB

yeah I have to wait till december for my P's but I bought the car when I did because of the 15yr rule changing.

Looks pretty clean there - good work!

hope it goes well for you.. they don't like cleaning them engine bays do they in japan?

go the stock rims !!

ooo.. blitz bov too..that will be annoying you in about a week I reckon

[foznice]

haha thanks Gordon, I love the stockers, and I'm loving the affordability of 16" tyres too... and the blitz BOV will have to get that one taken off, sitting there sparkling right at the front of the engine bay... easy defect material.

I forgot to ask them to hide the turbo timer, will be interesting to see if it turns up... when I looked at it again I noticed it was an HKS one.. doh.

[foznice]

ok ok ok... I am the HAPPIEST person in the world. I saw her for the first time today!!!

Went down to the compliance shop this arvo and I just couldn't wipe the grin off my face!!!! I brought a digi camera but I only got a couple of shots off before the bloody thing died. So the few photo's I have a SHIT.

ok.. well it seems to be in pretty good nick, its a little dirty, but that was expected as it has been doing alot of sitting around...

so the good things. Well my turbo timer is still there and wasn't stolen, I have the gold GT badges (factory option), what looks like a 3 inch cat back exhaust. I also think I have a cadence amp, I tried to take a pic of it, but it turned out a little blurry. The sunroof seal looks like its in pretty good condition too.

the bad things (only semi bad). The parkers work but the headlights don't, the compliance dude said he would have a look at them for me. The back speakers have been taken out of the parcel shelf. The battery is pretty flat. Theres a few bulbs that aren't working in the dash.

I booted her up and she sounds SOOOO nice, possibly the best sound in the world (hearing it for the first time). Was having a look at some of the papers inside on the floor, with some of the notes from the supplier, one of them said: "S/R not good". Does anyone know what this is?

Overall I'm really really happy, I just can't wait to drive it! I'll post up the shitty pics in a sec.

[foznice]

Ok here we go:

This one is a pic taken of the HICAS ECU underneath the parcel shelf. Also has a cool looking thing (hoping its an amp) that says "cadence"

Who know what "BB" stands for?

:) :D

[sigsputnik]

nice ride foznice, looks like you did well. think the bb might be the ship or port?

[boing]

Hey foznice nice car dude

was wondering how much shipping + customs cost you all up?

[foznice]

Thanks for the kind comments. shippings + customs cost me $2600 approx.

I found out that S/R stands for sunroof. So something is wrong with the sunroof that I didn't know about previously . Hopefully it will be easy to fix....

[foznice]

shes in my driveway now!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a little trouble booting her up, but with a little persitance from dads car we got there in the end. I managed to take her up the street so I could park it in the driveway. It's amazing, the handling is SO light! It's too dark for pics now, but I will work on it tommorow.

There is a minor electrical problem with the sunroof, it opens but dosn't close, the guy at the compliance shop showed me. I'll just have to replace the switch so it isn't too bad.

[cowie165]

Sounds awesome Rylan, congratulations. When you can, I'd love to see a side on pic of the car to see what the gold badges look like.

Good work

[foznice]

thanks mark

here's the picture of the badge, it's pretty crude as it was taken with the point and shoot camera just when the sun was going down.

Here's some more recent pics of the car, which still aren't that good.. so I will have to get some more: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=83941

Heres the thread which shows all the factory options, including the gold badges http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=48934.
