It Was A Sad Day.....

[Ant97GTR]

I knew this day would come eventually, but it was still sad . After around 2 months of advertizing I finally sold my skyline over the weekend....and boy was it weird seeing someone else drive my car away!

I imported her waaaay back in 2001, stock as a rock, before the modding bug took hold and ended up with around 200rwkw by 2003/4. Naturally you can't enjoy the car fully on the road without loosing your licence these days, so I got my CAMS licence in 2004 and took her to the track. With many a fun time had at tracks like Sandown, Winton and PI the car stayed reliable, and in 2005 I took out my class in the SAU Vic championship and almost took out the overall chamionship (was pipped at the post by Snowie). The car has always put a smile on my face everytime I drove it with very little going wrong in that time.

So with a heavy heart, RIP RFB-401, may you give your new owner as much motoring enjoyment as you have given me over the last 5 years.......

Now that I've done the sad farewells, it is time to welcome the new addition to my family, and I can't wait till I get her in my driveway

I have spent the last year keeping my eye out for the right replacement and when I stumbled upon this I knew it would be a fitting replacement . It is a mildly modified 1997 series 3 GTR with something a little different under the bonnet (I'm sure the anoraks will pick it in a second ). I will be regoing it in Vic around mid-Oct before transporting it to Perth while I am there for work.

lol I guess I'll have to change my username too

Cheers

[Ant97GTR]

Tom....not too sure mate.

Thanks Mikey....yep purple bits are indeed HKS items. Exact model is unknown at this time. At the moment it has been mildly modded with PFC and N1's etc producing 250awkw at 15psi and 290awkw at 18psi

Will PM you mate....

[AlphA]

290awkw at 18psi sounds damn nice !

[Missinglink]

Nice looking vehicle methinks! Congrats.

[Ant97GTR]

Sure does Alpha....although I think I'll learn to drive it with the 250 and when I'm confident wind up the boost

Thanks Zac...I see your white beast in the carpark everynow and again...still looks good

[Missinglink]

Cheers, i thought that was you in the lift the other day......wasnt sure.....

[Ant97GTR]

Actually Mitchy considering I have been looking for around a year I think you stole the idea off me

[Nizmo]

Gontrats on the new car Ant...was going to ask why you sold it until I read the rest...nice

Hey mitchy...I went the other way...if you are going for 2 wheels be careful...I can show you my leg and that might keep you aware on the bike...ride safe and look out for those damn 4wd owners
