Hey all,
I spent the summer of 2015 learning to drift in my E46 Touring. Met some really cool people and learned so much, but the BMW was a car I'd bought to learn in and that's it, I didn't want it to turn into a super expensive project car as my heart was always set on something else for 2016 once I was confident enough in my ability to move on.
BMW Thread, short as it may be.
I took a trade on the BMW for a little Lupo at the end of the summer months as the BMW was in need of an investment to refresh most of the rear end, and it would mean I could start putting money away for my 2016 purchase.
Speaking to Luke and David at OPJP sealed the deal - I had always wanted to import a car for the experience, and having something fresh and rust-free was a priority for me after a shitty experience with an S13 in 2014.
Well here she is!
March/2000 ER34 Nissan Skyline GTT 4 Door
Grade 3.5
120,000km
The car left Japan on Christmas Eve, and the shipping schedule says the boat is due in on 6th February.
Hopefully I'll be able to collect the car in March, just in time for my birthday.
Unfortunately there was a hiccough during the loading/unloading process so the originally spotless URAS front bumper is now crunched... Still, these things happen, just have to have a play with some fibreglass and filler when it lands.
Otherwise it looks pretty spotless and has some goodies already installed.
Got about 30 photos through but I think 10 is enough for this post haha.
Having read through the auction sheet the car has:
HKS FMIC
HKS Coilovers
Work VS 18s
Trust air filter
URAS kit
A "metal clutch" which I am guessing might mean a paddle clutch? If anyone has heard similar translation please let me know
"2 exit muffler" I thought the exhaust was standard, this might be the case but it is listed anyway so I might be wrong.
The car still has the HICAS 4 Wheel steering system fitted, so the first things to address when I get my hands on it will be a lockout kit and a service. I also need to look into the oil starvation issues that RB's have, I'd rather spend money on making it safe now instead of spending even more money in the future rebuilding it..
I'm undecided on the URAS kit at the moment, I'd like to think it'll work better with some man sized wheels and a proper drop, Minty Fresh style maybe.
Thanks for looking
