Ok, so as most of you know I did get a new car. I've had it on order for about 3 months or so and it arrived on Friday. A select few members know what it is and I have asked them to keep quiet about it. For the rest of you, I figured it would be a little fun for you guys to try and figure out what it is. It will be a little game I suppose ;) I'll post up a random picture of the car periodically. I won't be saying yes or no to guesses. If you are convinced you know what it is I expect you to explain why ;)

The mirror shape looks familiar, along with the color. Also, JDM cars don't have "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" on the right side mirror ...

Driver's glass shape is wrong for a Lotus. Also, there are grease pen marks on the glass noting export/auction.

Plus, you work at a shop that specializes in Nissan ...

The angle of the mirror suggests RHD ...

There is a car with a very distinguished(slanted/sharp) C-Pillar in the automotive world; because of the angle of the shot, it is difficult to tell which model.

-But because of the subliminal message in the pic....I will say Skyline R33.

Hmmm...no objects appear closer in the window, the color, power to wt ratio...abd it looks like I can make out the shape of the headrest which look HONDA. If it isn't a LOTUS I'm going with a RHD CIVIC

GoBoost
07-21-2009, 05:20 PM
It's def not a lotus. Look up a lotus' side mirror, and it's way way off. Doesnt match a civic either......

blk-majik
07-21-2009, 05:21 PM
fwiw, i don't think any jdm mirrors have the 'objects appear closer' label. But the angle of the mirror either tells you that the mirrors are horribly adjusted OR its RHD. And that at least tells us its not a USDM car with stock mirrors :)

My guess off just this 1 crappy pic is a jdm early/mid 90s honda prelude. either a bb1, bb4 or ba8.

no lotus has mirrors shaped like that or that mount with that type of molding ,or are that square that i'm aware of. pretty sure the shape is wrong for any accord, civic or integra.

I am going with Nissan silvia, final answer for several reasons...

1. The mirrors match very well, and it is offered in that color.
2. You said yourself in the "cars you wish you owned" thread that YOU started that you wanted a real silvia to start as a project. If I was guessing, you either started that thread as soon as you ordered the car, or you got the car right then. 3 months is probably the import and legal stuff.
3. You work at a mainly Nissan shop... Of course it's gonna be nissan.


Now just show us pictures of the damned silvia. =)

Ok, it filled a few days of fun anyways. I did LOVE the Exige 240S, but I just didn't feel it was worth the buy despite how much fun it was to drive.

Here are the pics ;) More coming soon after the new parts go on :)

any plans on getting a VIN and registering it to be street legal? i slightly remember something about the process getting a lot harder recently.

I definitely think it was worth the trouble. I mean, c'mon how many of those do you see everyday? For a while, I heard folks saying the Skyline was played out. I tend to disagree. Just because you see one in every video game and maybe one or two R32s on the road doesn't mean anything. For example, if you wanted a particular set of rare rims(like Advans or Volks), and people start saying I see those rims everywhere. No they don't! They might see them online, but that doesn't mean that they will see them on the road. Long story short, mad props for an amazing car! I would give the Evo up in a minute to own one of those. Please post some interior pics. :)

Sorry I don't plan to let anyone drive it. It is way too much trouble to get it here and cost me too much to take any chances. I have had a ton of people ask me to drive it. That's just not a chance I'm willing to take.

It actually wasn't that recent. There has been even more recent activity since then that has made things harder. You're talking about the Motorex incident. There is a ton of information out there that people either don't know or don't look into deep enough. Swapping VIN's is not a good idea and registration can be done fairly easily.

I agree. I've heard that before too and I could never figure out where people were getting that idea. There is only 1 R34 around this area and the owner rarely drives it. That being the case I would say they are pretty rare. For those of you who don't know there are only 14 original Motorex (50 state legal) R34s in the U.S. These cars are very difficult to deal with. I still think it is worth it though :)

Theft would be pretty pointless. Very easy car to spot as it is extremely rare. Next to no market for parts. Once parts go up for sale it is easy to catch. You must have all of the paperwork in order to drive it, etc etc.

Well, you have to consider other things ... like someone stealing it and selling it off to someone who wants a track car for $20k. They have it resprayed for $500 and it's never registered again and not trackable.

There's a good bit of hidden facts behind that. Believe me the car will not be left sitting out by the road. It's just as stealable as any other car.

If all goes to plan I'll have it ready for the Midnight Cruise, depends on the actual date. I'm still waiting for a good bit of parts which I was hoping to have before the cruise. Almost everything should be coming in the next week or 2.

I didn't really know what it had on it. I knew it had the coilovers, intake, and exhaust, but besides that I had no idea. It was a good bit of trouble and waiting to get over here. Not sure if I would do it again or not.

Everything I listed prior plus HKS IC and piping, HKS EVC, harnesses (which I wont be needing), nismo tach, and camber arms.

As far as trusting someone to pick a car out for you, that's a bit tricky. It's a judgement call. The car was kept in very good condition, I would say 9/10.

The pics seems to agree with your opinion of 9/10. Would you take more pics of the interior and exterior. I need some awesome wallpaper. ;)

lol! gotta take my shots where I can



If all goes to plan I'll have it ready for the Midnight Cruise, depends on the actual date. I'm still waiting for a good bit of parts which I was hoping to have before the cruise. Almost everything should be coming in the next week or 2.

I didn't really know what it had on it. I knew it had the coilovers, intake, and exhaust, but besides that I had no idea. It was a good bit of trouble and waiting to get over here. Not sure if I would do it again or not.

Last date i PMed is the final date. I'll be sending out formal invites once flier is done. I got your email too, and gonna be sending the forms out end of this month. Hope to see her at the cruise.

Not quite a monster yet. Just doing a few small things. Headgasket, headstuds, exhaust manifolds, and o2 dumps for this week.

Now, just to get used to that left handed shifting ... and not turning on the wipers when you want to signal a left turn. =)

haha, ya man. I think that will be the hardest part, especially going back and forth between LHD and RHD.

I always wondered how weird that would be. I'm sure it's alot easier when you are driving on the other side of the road too though.

You get used to it, but switching back and forth is weird ...

You often try to get in the wrong side to drive
You glance at the A pillar often to check your rear view
You look over your shoulder the wrong way or too much/little to check blind spots. This is really funny when you bump your head on the window.
You use the wipers instead of the turn signal half the time
you think a LOT about what gear you are in and where you are shifting next. (This is the only part that I never got used to. I could rev match downshifts after a few days, but could never heel/toe properly)

^ I didn't even think about all the little stuff like that. Like you said I'm sure switching back & forth is kinda weird too.

That sure is a nice R34! Very rare on the streets nor anywhere in the U.S! I'm curious as to much how you spent so all of us could have an idea of how much it would cost to import a vehicle from another country. Mann, i would love to be your student; teach me SiiFu(master) :D

;) don't ask, it wasn't cheap.

Can only imagine ! Sweet ride. Who did you import it through? Are you gonna make it street legal like what Motorex used to do?

BlewByYouEvoVIII
07-31-2009, 09:25 AM
Thanks guys

I have a personal friend who runs a car importation business. He brought the car in. It is done a little differently than Motorex. There are a ton of technicalities that would take forever to explain. These cars are a total pita.

Did he source it out of England or straight out of Japan?

nice ride dude. i drive a black 03 enthusiast. the 18" wheels make me think yours is a performance package.

and dont ever let anyone drive your car. they will wreck it. the Z takes more skill to drive than most people have.

you did get the 6mt right?
