Default OT: Woohoo! New pics of my Skyline.

Just rolled off the boat from Japan in Florida this past Tuesday, and my broker was finally able to snap some pics and email them to me. w00t!!!

Hood is popped in this first pic in preparation for the under hood shots later (it's not messed up):








Bone stock except for the strut bars, wheels, and stereo system. Found out I'm getting a cd changer with the sucker that I didn't know about before.



I am so stoked right now. It'll be shipped out here to Utah within about 2-3 weeks. Just thought you guys would like to share in my joy.

Here is a pic of the wheels it has on it. I think they're kind of ugly honestly. No comment on registration/tags/insurance/etc...

no comment on price, let's just say less than motorex. and to answer your other question, it was mechanically inspected prior to purchase in Japan.

thanks, and it's a silver EK i think, but definitely not a CTR unless i'm out of the loop. this company typically only imports base model automatic civics. crappy. i had to have them find me this skyline and bring it over.

I'm thinking about some OEM R34 GT-R wheels, 18x9. If not then some Volk GT-P, GT-C, or GT-N's are definitely in order. Can't decide which though.

it was a grip, but not as much as Motorex. their prices are too rich for my blood.

Um, why would the boat travel to Florida instead of dropping off in California?

Nice car, btw!

yeah, that would've been more convenient since I'm in Utah, but Florida is where my broker's facility is located and that's where *ALL* the cars they bring over arrive first.

very sweet car, but not for me IMO. I went to england a few years ago and found it rediculously hard to adjust to driving on the right hand side of the car. I can't even imagine how bad it would be trying to turn left at an intersection, or going to mcdonalds or paying at a toll both or when/if a cop stops you or anything like that.

Looks good! Any links to websites of people who import cars from over the pond?
