As some of you might know, I bought a Skyline R33 a couple of months ago.
It brings great gifts for the S15 in form of a set of 18" Volk Te37 in bronze :)

Touched down at Gothenburg harbor yesterday.
So today after work I will pay for the tax and stuff and tomorrow I'll call the transport company who will transport my car to Stockholm. They will pick it up before thursday.

I expect delivery sometime next week. :)
Just just had to write something to settle down :D.

Thanks for the kind repies :)

Tax and duty is now paid and I've just booked a transport from Gothenburg port to a gas-station close to the garage.

He can't get closer because of the big-ass lorry. so i will have to drive the last 150m to the garage. Very very illegal. I'll just try to sneak by the police station :eek: with the UK plates from the S15. Hopefully it will not draw too much attention on this very short journey :)

Skyline is comming today :D
Booked transport yesterday so I'm very happy and a bit shocked about the fast delivery time.

Only problem now is that I have to break free from work the whole afternoon it seems.

Oh looksie looksie new pics :)



















Used UK regplates I got with the S15 only to draw less attention from the authorities on the short journey home.
The car came de-registered and uninsured. But it was just a couple of hundred meters to the garage so I couldn't be arsed to call a tow-truck and pay megabucks for that short drive.

Outside condition was very very good.
Inside needs a little work. But it's easy fixes. New gear and handbrake boots and some paint on the centre console and some general cleaning is needed.
Overall it's pretty good. Nowhere near the S15 though.
The wing will have to get repainted as there is a bad repair paintjob on it. But I knew this before I bought it.

Felt kinda sluggish and not as quick and stable as the S15. Strangled might be a good word to use here. But then again this one is stock and I didn't floor it because I was running on fumes and I need to reset the ECU with 98RON fuel in it.

Engine noise was superb though. :)
Straight 6 with Kakimoto catback sounds lurvley. :D

I'll go back to the garage tonight and wash it :)

Edit: Oh and the TE37s....

Can I get a BRAND NEW CONDITION :D
Not a single mark on them and tires looks like new too :)

Did I mention I'm very happy today :)

Police must have missed you! :p

Looking good :thumbs:
Lol :)

I actually spotted a copper when I was going home from the garage in the Golf.
everything has gone very smoothly so far with the import. Too Smoothly actually so I was kinda expecting to get pulled over and fined huge sums of money for driving an unregistered and uninsured car :)

If any copper reads this, all this took place in my imagination and the pics are photoshops :wack:

It's started to snow here again, so I wont be able to take it out for a little sneaky test :)
probobly for the best until I get it registered and insured.

I've decided not to spend any money on tuning parts for this car, but I'm very tempted to get an Apex'i power intake :)
filter bolts directly on to AFM so it's pretty cheap.
But we all know how it goes when you start to mod something. :cry:
Damn... must...resist...
