Hey guys, I'm Paul, from down under Australia, so its been a while since I've posted here. For the past year I've been completely without any form of modified car. The girlfriend and I made a small deal (and myself) that I won't be doing anything until at least the end of 2014, as I had other things on my mind. However that took a slightly different turn as of recent.
But before I get to that, let me recap a little history with you all. I got my first 31 back in October 2012, after my R33 was written off by a lovely lady who lost control coming up a residential street. She then proceeded to rear end it at 60k's (the 33 liked it :dcool: ). Long story short, the 33 was only good for parts.
Until that moment, I had never thought about getting a box, yet there was something about it when I was taken for a test drive :hsugh: Then I ended up getting the 31. It needed a lot of tidying up, loved it to bits, spent money, had bi*ches all dat jazz. Had quite high mileage which unfortunately was combined with chassis flex that was only seen when jacked up on a two post hoist or a single side jack.
Here is a limiter video

Then one day
I got really tired of spending money on it, and sold it as it ended up spending more time in the shop then out. Blowing headgasket to tuning issues, to having turbo's shit themselves.
The people who bought the car, ruined it as it was not tuned and blew up the motor / turbo / gearbox in a couple of runs on the street. "It wen't hard" is the last thing I heard from the several owners it had after me. Every single one wanted information on the motor and on the specs of every detail in the car. Which obviously I was not willing to give out over and over, so after 4-5 people I had given up.
A year and a bit passed, and I was wanting to fully quit the car game, as it got on my nerves too much. However... the box...is too stronk.. So on that note welcome Mr 518KOO #2, we have nicknamed it Goldie because gold
Little drop down on the car,
--------------------------------------------------------------
96,000 kms
2 Owner
Stock standard grandpa mobile (Get in m8)
Slipping on some auto Bacardi.
3.89 single spinner diff
After a little bit of polishing, the paint came up mint
Now I am not used to driving a non turbo 30, so this is going to be an experience and a half for a bit until..well the inevitable
So here it is! Goldie the rebirth, funnily enough I still have my old plates
