Was it an actual GTR badge? A while back some car yard (jarvis ford?) were flogging off a ton of mock up style cars, ie tarted up lancers with full evo bodykits, falcons, and v6 commodores with bodykits they were calling 'GTR'.

I hate to say it guy's but Holden have had the GTR badge for alot longer than Nissan. In the late 60's early 70's they had LC XU-1 GTR. (Torana). Was a great little car for it's day but not as good as Ford's mighty GT. I 2 have seen VT's getting around with GTR badge's on them. A Maroon one on South rd on Saturday, huge great big GTR sticka on the back window and I must say it did look stupid, With stock wheel and all.

the PGC10 skyline was badged a GT-R in the late 60s too.

i have seen plenty of commodores with factory GT-R stickers on the bootlid, but this one was using a skyline badge with the silver GT on top and the red R underneath.

Autobarn sells them.

Reminds me of a R33 I saw at night a long time ago and I asked him if it was a GTR. He was like "Yeah its a genuine GTR man" and he took off and i could hear the car was an auto. Riigghhtttt...

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
