Hey guys… just wanted to post a couple pics of my new car for this summer 😃
It’s a March 1990 car, so I hope to have it anytime in March or April. Thanks to Import Concern, Christian was really great in helping me out with this one.

don’t expect it for about 2 months from it being shipped! it took my first sil just over 2 moinths the first time and the second one took about 1.5, it is stupid how long customs takes to clear a car sometimes :@ grrrrr

Ah well we’ll just have to see how long it’ll take to get here, it’s a March 1990 build, so I figure end of April or mid May at the latest, even then there’s probably gonna be snow on the ground.
I can’t drive it too much when I get it until I get it tuned for 91 octane gas ☹ but hey at least it’ll beat the crap out of your pulsar Kelly 😃

You should be able to ship it in February to arrive at the start of March.

Yeah I thought about that, but what if it arrives on Feb 28th by freak accidental fast shipping? I don’t even know what the average shipping time is.
I was told the boats were backed up i Japan a while ago, but it’s all cleared up now so it shouldn’t be 3 months like some of the other people have experienced.
I was told 4-7 weeks, does that sound about right?

shipping across the sea isn’t the problem that takes 10 days! then they need to unload the car at port 3 days and thats if it starts, then u need to get a broker to clear the car for you! import concern is probably doing all that anyways but if u don’t have all the papers there then it is a bitch and takes a long time! then truck/train transport from van to edmonton to calgary, it is usually held up at the port cuz some lazy ass just doesnt want to signe a piece of p[aper! haha, oh and i forgot to say in myt frist post, CLEAN ass skyline 🙂 looks awsome

Yeah 1GAlty, I’ve looked into 94 octane, but the trouble is that isn’t going to be readily available when I run this beast to Toronto this summer.
I’d be stopping at quite a few gas stations in the middle of nowhere, I’d hate to have to realy on Husky stations only… If only 94 was more widely available… ☹
Thanks Rob, it took me a while to find a decent car with a spring manufacture date. So do ya figure I’d be alright if I got it on a boat around Feb 20th?
I’ll have to talk to Christian about that, he knows what’s going on better than me 😃 IC is doing everything to get the car to my door, due to me being a lazy ass 😛 Either way it doesn’t matter too much when it gets here, I’m not gonna drive it in the snow.

if you can find a chevron they have 94, other than that some Mohawks are selling 93 now. as of right now im running 92 with 7 point octane booster running stock boost. just make sure your car doesnt have a mines ECU, if it does get rid of the ecu or bye bye RB26. other than that have fun with your car 🙂

why would a Mines ECU mean that your engien is going to die ? just rated for more octane or what ? I have a CA18det Mines ECU …what of it ?

No ECU for me… as far as I know the only add-ons are front and rear sway bars/strut bars? Whatever you call em 😃
Yea yea, I know about the crappy paint on the manifold ☹ gotta take care of that
Does anybody know what brand those are BTW?

he means no mines ECU. but ya the manifold paint is shab on 99.9% of the early model RB26’s. im gonna bead blast mine and get it powdercoated, or just buy a after market on if i can find one for a half decent price. good luck with your car man. youll absolutely love the motor. 😉

Yeah no Mine’s ECU… shoulda been more specific. As far as I know those strut bars are the only mods on the car.
I’m either going to get that manifold stripped down and painted or polished, I haven’t decided yet, I guess durability and price will be my deciding factors. I know if you get your wheels polished they are a bitch to take care of, and once you mess them up it’s really hard to make them look nice again. Maybe I’ll get it powder coated, can that stand a lot of heat though?
