Dragonball Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Finders keepers - so it's mine! Bitch of a clutch to get used to - and very cold plugs to start - haven't been over 4000rpm! Also - didn't turn off the tracking device - so was reported stolen to the old owner! Mmmm. that was embarrasing - call to Matty H - How do i turn off this alarm??? Very different to the soop! http://www.mpaconsultancy.co.uk/miamirice/images/P8030205z.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherriff Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 That's a very nice car indeed you must be very happy. This would be the same one that you were showing specs/pictures of a while back? Don't get me wrong I love my Supra to bits, and everytime I see it I can't believe that it's actually mine, but if I could save up/win/steal the money, i'd take a trip to Japan for a while, find me a nice clean R34 Nur Spec and then head to Mines to get it sorted like the one from the Amuse Supra vs Sklyine vid elsewhere on these boards complete with all the Carbon bits & Mines stickers as well. Then i'd return with it to the UK and drive it everyday with a massive grin from ear to ear plastered on my face. Good luck with the new beastie hope it all turns out well. Cheers, Sherriff.

Supragal Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 How come? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 No Model/crash report and they wont pass the EU emissions tests, the loophole that enabled these to be brought in and a few other late cars ( i believe vvti sups are also effected) was closed on April 1 . !!!!!

Sherriff Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I'd heard something about changes to the law, but didn't realise it was that serious. Here's hoping they make some future changes to allow them to be imported again, or that some clever importer finds a way to get things over within the new law. I'll have to make do with my Supra then, what a terrible shame Cheers, Sherriff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 You know my feelings on that particular car Paul, nice one:thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Is there anyway they can be sorted to pass the emissions test? Maybe a crash report will be repaired by some kind garages or something! Anyone willing to step up and pay for a Skyline R34 to crash?! It'd be a right bummer not to own this car in the future. Is it just R34, or all Skylines?

Snowman Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Its got my wheels. Paul you didn't have tyo buy a whole car to get those wheels, I know how jealous you were of them!!!!!!!!!!!

Supraguy Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 These reports for the GTR are also available in the US. They had to go through the same tests to import from Japan. No one ever bothered with the Supras though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Paul, :cool: :cool: Welcome to the club matey Lovely motor As you say VERY different to the supe, both great but the grip of the skyline is phenomenal. Twin plate clutches are an arse though aren't they! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesArup Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Just saw that beauty in the flesh (NOT Paul .. No offense ) .... and yes please ... very nice indeed!! Most comfortable seats I've ever sat in! Looks awesome with both those cars next to each other! What you can't see is another Supra behind the camera, and ANOTHER one about 50 yards down the road - Jeeeez!! Paul - Blew a boost pipe off on the way home from yours this evening! Drove all the way down the M3 with NO boost and an Audi fastened to my rear bumper!! Grrrr! Spent about 90 mins fighting with a broken jubillee clip when I got home! Just about bodged it back together, but I can see it coming off again at Abbey! Got any more of that 3" boost hose left !!!! :twak: Cheers, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 They are soooo common down our road! Yeah have hose and some clips m8 - give me a shout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
