Yeah Prank, it's who you think it is.

No luck today picking up my skyline, salesman didn't know anything about my car and the boss went on holidays to the snow.

The boss promised me he would pass all relevant information and paperwork to his salesman before he went away on the chance that today my car would be ready to register.

Another entry gets written on my webpage about this saga.

The salesman didn't even know where my car was. It would be interesting if my car has made the trip to the snow...

I've told a lot of people i'm getting the car and people have seen it being driven around with trade plates by the boss of this company.

I've taken a pic of the number of Ks the car had done when it arrived off Botany wharf at their workshop. Might have some words when I pick up the car if the Ks are significantly different.

I'll give you a call when I get word it's ready Prank.

JiMbO, it's not as bad as it sounds.

Its a young crew (owner is 24) and they don't seem to be very organised.

The problem is, he is trying to sell more cars than he can handle so a lot of the customers are having to wait.

My car and a couple of others he imported were kept for over a month by customs because they were "red flaged" or "red something-ed".

They arn't bad, they can't handle the work they have (they also do the compliance work). They make promises that they have no control over eg. I've heard "It will be here next week" about 4-5 times.

They have just had a bad trot with wiating for cars from the wharf (which is out of their direct control).

So do I.

I've asked Prank to come down with me when I pick up the car to make sure it isn't a lemon.

I haven't driven a turbo car before and i'm use to my 1.6l laser. I'm unsure how they should perform so i've asked someone who is local for some help.

Prank has been nice enough to give up his time to take my car for a fang around the streets of Manly... he seems like a very good bloke.

Maybe this week is the week I get my skyline... I hope so anyway.

BTW, what is tech support like? I graduate at the end of the year and am looking for a job as a programmer or similar.

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
