Cheers I don't really know any of the mods although its meant to have a stage 1 turbo and was rebuilt in the uk before it left around 2012....

Apparently it has a huge folder full of receipts with it :)

well it looks a very good base to start mate, also got a GT tuning alloy lobster on carb top too:agree:

Gonna ship it from over in Queensland (should take 2 to 3 weeks) then re-register it in Western Australia :)

Cheers guys yeah they pretty rare and cool hey, looking at it its been sorted to cope with the heat over here (well I hope so anyway) plus I want be taking it out on hot days at all ie anything over 30..

It will just be my show and shine car :)

Will get a build thread up once it gets delivered and yeah I am no doubt sure I will be asking dumb questions and asking for help :cool:

Do you have any details about how this car passed the Aus import and road-worthiness tests? Woznaldo had an absolute nightmare.

Yeah not sure hey I know it needed all new brake lines and had to have the std rims fitted (Which I now need to get shipped separately) but yeah reading his thread it took him a few years :-(

Welcome to the club m8 👍

Welcome to the club:)

Cheers for the warm welcomes fellas :)

Nice car. Welcome to the club :agree:

Welcome to the club Scoobykilla. I did keep my eye on this car when it first came up in QLD, but I didn't have the cash. It's amazing to see how many people give you confused looks!

Tambo is another member with a GTT in WA. So you'll have someone close'ish to call on if for nothing else than remembering where a certain part goes! :)

Yeah cheers been in touch with him so hopefully have a meet up...

ceva have said my R5 should be on my door step 7th Jan cant wait :):):)

Forgot to upload it arrived 2 days ago!!

Although I think it sits a little low so may have to have it raised.....

Just hope its not too dear or hard to have it raised....

Looks like it's in great nick :)

Cheers it is, just a few little issues to sort out :)

Nice. I also wanted to buy this R5 as a daily. But Never managed to get the money together. Think my next car will be a Nissan March Superturbo (bit rare though), 900cc turbo and supercharged. There is one for sale for $8000 at the moment http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/mount...k10/1066337008. Be a nice daily drive i reckon ;-)

Need a hand with anything drop me a line. I'm not the most clued up but i did completely strip and rebuild my 5.... and it works ;-)

That micro looks excellent!!

Yeah will do for sure :)

Super March! Love 'em and that one looks like a great example. :agree:

Not condoning that. Too fast in the wrong place. :disagree:

Were in WA are you from got some good friends in Esperance. Who did you buy it from as I sent a fair few parts out to QLD over the years.

Good to see you on here.

I am 2hrs south of Perth in Bunbury but the car is from Queensland so more than likely...!!

Those videos of the Nissan March Superturbo just make me wanna buy one even more now ;-) Maybe i could copy the idea and make an R5 GT Superturbo, hahaha. That would be fun.

Hey Scoobykilla, when i eventually get the car completed and working well enough, i'll take a drive down to Bunbury to catch up... could be a few months though!

Yeah for sure or we could meet halfway I am hoping to get mine road registered within next 3 weeks ish (work rosters etc pending)...

Just paid for these bad boys and for R5 subframes to be welded on, who can guess what they are out of????.....

Hope they fit perfect too....

Nice, they look in good nick :agree:

Renault 19 16v?????

I know i know.............and shit i recognise that floor:wasntme:

Welcome Gerry:agree:

Hehehe cheers Alex!!

Yeah R19 16v :)

Now registered in Western Australia :cool:

And now gotta think of some personal plates for it....

Thinking R5 GTT or just GT TURBO if its available...

Shame you don't have an ERL water injection setup, no need to change the plate then :D

hahaha yeah here is a couple of pictures of the leather interior fitted :)

Also to note I have fitted the morrettes and yellow fogs.

Would of updated sooner but been busy between this and my 205 gti plus work :dearme:
