It lights up the wheels in 3rd in the dry with ease.

Fun

Update in a bit, need to resize the pics etc...

He was down the docs today - drooling apparently & jumping up & down like a small child

Stavros · 18-09-2007, 20:46

Well, I now have a mental RB26 Chaser on my drive!

Went to the docks today, and after all the worry and uncertainty of when I was ment to collect the car (wasnt too impressed with WW's telephone people!), when I actually went to the docks it was all easy and painless, and I wasnt the only DW member there getting a car either!

30quid train to S'hampton, 5quid taxi to the docks, and I was there.

Rolled in to WW expecting the worst, but it was fine and easy...

Then went and found the car, looking rather dirty but still cool as.
MUCH more purple and much more metalflake than it looks in pics/vids id ever seen, its old-skool tacky pimp-tastic, awesome!

Bumper removed and put in back, guess it wouldnt get on/off the ship without that...

Big bastard intercooler tho!

Im driving the car home, its a long way, but im not sure these tyres are legal...

Nothing seemed to have been stolen by gypsies or pirates, the RB26 sounded WAY sweeter than I expected, and the digi dash works, as for some reason I had it in my mind it didnt work, but it does!

Then I was off, fricked tyres n all, to go find some fuel. 30quid Super and a bottle of octane booster and its time to head for home.
Tho I had no map, no satnav, and couldnt remember the way, so guessed...

After a bit of randomness I got to the motorway and stopped at a garage to look at a map, realised I was going about the right way and went jumped back in and turn the key.
Nothing

Went to the boot to see the battery (in a really cool alloy battery box, another thing I didnt realise it had). And realised the trip switch had flicked off somehow, so reset that and off I went.

Fook it shifts nicely! A combo of it being fricking fast and fricked tyres means it was burnoutanating at every oppertunity, and with a straight thru pipe all the way to the small backbox, its bastard loud and sounds awesome

Shoots flames too!

As a huge loud unusual purple car with no numberplates and no front bumper would, the car was attracting a mental amount of attention on the way home, exactly what I didnt want with tyres like that!
Somehow the world seemed to be crawling with 5-0 today and twice I had police cars go after me, 1st time I shot off down a little lane and escapanated, 2nd time I thought it was game over, Omega traffic car, but he just dissapeared, literally, was bizzare, maybe I should belive in god now...

For a car slammed on Billies the ride isnt too bad, but the last 45mins or so of the journey was almost agony as although that Bride seat is really suportive and comfy overall, its lack of bum padding really hurts after a few hours!

Anyway, somehow I got home without being pulled by the police, so gave the car a very quick wash and took some more pics (with my S12s plate on it, jus to see how it looked...)

My fave bit of the car!

Bride bucket

Cooooool digi dash

Flashy JDM CD/MD headunit, boost controller, and EGT gauge

Cool vented wings. Can see the metalflake a bit in this pic

VERY healthy (it seems) RB26

frick knows what this is, expected some comedy horn, but the horn is usual

Hillariously sketchy intercooler water spray. The guy at the docks pointed this out, said they all had a good laugh at it when it arrived, lol

Chaser baby!

Overall its as I expected really, so im happy.

Bodywork isnt bad, got the expected amount (ie a fair bit, but all minor stuff u cant see from more than a meter or two away) drifty battle damage which will easy be polished out or covered up by graphics.

Clutch is a multiplate as you can hear it, but dead easy to use.
Diff makes all the usual plated diff noises and seems ok.
Suspension makes no bad noises, seems ok.
Engine is sweet, sounds sweeter than I expected, RB26s are never quiet, but this one seems healthy as can be.
Digi dash works, which suprised me.
Nice battery box in boot i didnt know existed.
Remote oil filter is a nice bonus too.
And no BOV's, which is nice, lol.
Overall, fooking good!

Few minorish issues...
Tyres fooked, but not suprised.
Prob will tidy up fitment of bodykit as it not the best at mo, but easy DIY fix. Minor scrapes etc too, but expected that so dont care.
No way are the wheels 9inch wide, but still nice, and they going anyhow.
Bonnet pins broke so will need to buy new ones.
Few switches and random wires around, no idea what they do, nothing i can work out at mo anyhow?!?

Only major issue, which prob is a minor issue, is indicators dont work, front or rear.
Shouldnt be too hard to sort tho.

Hope brake lights work considering how far I drove home, not checked, lol.

But overall MEGA happy! I have a Chaser

Big cheers to GHOST DANCER GHOST DANCER: WHERE HARD PARKING IS A CRIME. for flogging me the car and getting it here.
BIG cheers to Rob at KLEERFREIGHT Kleerfreight - redirecting... for sorting out customs stuff and generally guiding me through the UK side of getting this car, as I didnt have a clue and frankly was shitting myself it was all gonna go wildly wrong

Now to get the fricker legal and get on it

you should hear her when you give her a bit, fookin amazing, was smiling so much i didnt quite realise she was spinning all the way thru 3rd, lol.

a nice held 3000rpm cruise at part throttle sounds awesome in it too, love 6pots

how was your cars you got mate? to be fair, im pleasantly suprised with this one overall!

floyd · 18-09-2007, 23:03

hi mate, they were not to bad but both cars had flat tyres, driving one home and the intercooler pipe came loose so no boost that was the 180 ,the r32 some times just won't start maybe it sucked a bit of crap up from the fuel tank but over all not to bad , i will probably take it to chepstow on saturday so see you there,cheers.

MikeeB · 18-09-2007, 23:48

Niiiiice, I likes it very much, good buy pal! Any chance of a video of the little beauty on idle or something?

Love to hear the rev of an RB. Even get it sideways down the street if the neighbours aren't watching haha.

Lox · 19-09-2007, 07:15

Chasers are the $h1t, Dude your car is awsome!

jamespa28 · 19-09-2007, 08:41

Shadowness · 19-09-2007, 08:46

Mattkeeber · 19-09-2007, 09:10

I was suprised how easy it was to get the car from W&W... when you called did you get passed around from pillar to post by people who didnt know anything?

You're a nutter driving home on those tyres tho!

danbuckjoyce · 19-09-2007, 09:11
