Is that yours Snowy?

Welcome to SAU! That GTR looks super tasty. Well done! We have a US forum on here but it's not used all that much.

Hi Mike! Welcome to SAU. As Coullsy said, any pics?

Good news. The ad supplier is still looking through for any other potentially nasty ads. Thanks for reporting back.

Hang on .... "Bangladesh/UK" ?? Who did you go for in the cricket last month?

If You're happy with the 4 doors then it'll only be possible with an accompanying SAU build thread. Hey@marvinsR33 keep that crap out of this site please mate. Not interested in reading that drivel.

I think for people who don't know much about these cars its worth relating it to the Nissans we do know about (because *every* Nissan is related somehow) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Avenir The Avenir is the successor to the U12 Bluebird and has the SR20DET (along with other engines) - can you confirm this is correct for you and you don't have one of the others (SR18DE OR CRD20T) ? How much does it share with the U12? Any idea? It could be a good place to get info. Wikipedia says "From May 2000 the turbocharged Salut was renamed the GT4 along with interior and exterior changes. The output of the SR20DE engine was improved." - as yours is a GT4 maybe your engine is actually the SR20DE?

Updated original post with video.

I just didn't get the price on it. It didn't strike me as a quarter-of-a-million-dollar car. $150k, yeah maybe, at a stretch, but no more than that.

I'll see if the ones I took are ok.

I drove a Porsche GT4 And I loved it. Holy smokes this car was amazing. I only had a small amount of time so I couldn't get it out of the city but it was so easy to drive it was still impressive at low speeds. I don't think I got it into any gear above 3rd. This is partially because it sounded so amazing at 3 - 4k that cruising in 3rd was making me drool a little. The noise was just insane. Shifting down, despite it being a classic clutch activated shift, the car still revved up to match the gear. This took a little getting used to but after you did, it was quite welcome. The interior was still very well equipped. I wasn't expecting much in the cabin, especially as though the doors have no inside handles, only straps (interesting given no other obvious interior weight loss or simplification.) The gauges were gorgeous and the rightmost "gauge" was a screen showing any of the computer data or the navigation. The centre console was beautiful with a nice and responsive centre screen. Behind the gear knob were switches for ECS, Sport, Suspension settings and the exhaust butterfly (which I left open.) With the car in a 'normal' mode it is very comfortable and civilised. The seats are really low and quite difficult to get out of when you're as tall as I am. The alcantara steering wheel was just beautiful and contained no steering wheel mounted controls or buttons. The shifter was very short which was nice, but it took me a long time to find reverse on the first few attempts. It is up to the left of first, but the channel to get it over there was very narrow and difficult to find. After a few attempts it became increasingly easy to find so maybe I just needed some practice. But, as I am quite the brake-o-phile, I couldn't stop looking at them. Just look at them!!! See the rest of my pics here; Here's a little driving video so you can hear it. If you just want the sound, watch from 1:00 onward. What do you think? Does this float your boat?

That said, the ole PIT maneuver is not that common in AUS I don't think. Police round here tend to give up on chases before anybody gets hurt. I'm not an expert enough to have an opinion on what is the better approach.
