The new owner picked up my old Nissan Pulsar GTiR the night before last. It was both a sad and happy moment.

I don’t think I will ever buy another grey import. It took us a month to get the road worthy. I should highlight that there wasn’t anything drastically wrong with the car; it was about sourcing parts. It needed a new shockie. We had to wait a week and a half just for it to get here. Then it went missing while being freighted up. So we had to order another set. I personally don’t think they went “missing”. I think that someone went ‘Holy crap! These are good shockies, they’ll go great in my car or I could get a fair bit of money for them on Ebay.’ The guy who fitted the shockies showed me his invoice. The wholesale price for these were like $600.

The other thing that needed to get fixed was an oil leak. It was just a seal. It had to get ordered from Melbourne. It is less than a $20 part. It took a week to get here and to get the seal on, they had to drop the gearbox. I am really happy that the car is fixed and the new owner is happy. Poor guy, he had to wait a month for a car that he was really excited about.

The next car that we need to sell is the Nissan 300ZX.
