yeah true i gotta decide if i want it for show or go, its just that its not the biggest budget available but i don't want exactly 300kW more like 250- 280 anything more is a bonus.
The car is intended for my dad because he has been interested in the "import turbo scene" for a number of years since his' friend bought a twin turbo 300zx/Fairlady z a number of years ago. A few of my dad's friends have ditched the whole V8 muscle thing and got into japanese sports/performance cars and from curiosity my dad wanted to know why. This was when he drove a few of his friends imports and got a big surprise from the potential. After a bit of research it came to conclusion that the R33 would be a great car because my dad is a little fussy in choice(even though the R33 is his' 36th car he he's bought since he started driving at 17yo). It'll be used mainly as a weekender and maybe a track day every month or so just to compare times and have some fun.
The personal owner of this account I, Tim Jones is 15 years old (yeah have a laugh even I find it funny) but will be driving (not the R33 though) on L's by March-April 2011 BUT! The car isn't for me, its for my dad whose 47 years old next week and he's getting the R33 as a personal birthday present for he's been driving for 30 years. When I turn 21 my dad will pass the car onto me. I'm only writing and made an account here because my dad isn't the best with computers but all the ideas/decisions will be made by my dad for he is in charge and its his' car.
If there are any extra costs eg. suspension, brakes etc.: it will all be taken into consideration for this car will be nurtured and loved and will be very looked after (my dad gets a little cranky even if there are finger prints on the door handle) and we'll have this car for a long time.
BTW- We aren't in a rush or hurry, the car will be picked up by next week for it needs to have some minor things fixed and touched up, RWC, windows tinted and insurance. My dad just wanted to know where some places are that we can get the 33 some kick, the prices for the kick and what he could do to the car to gain that kick.
