Thanks. :blush: To be honest looking at the pics im thinking... hell i don't need to sell this i think i'll just keep it. Problem is my garage isn't big enough for this and a big armchair that I can sit in drinking wine and just looking at it.

I have to drive it to appreciate it and I can't seem to find the time these days :w00t:

That engine set up is very similar to the set up of the RB26 going into my GTST, including the turbo choice. I was originally going for GTRS twins but for more response i went for the GTSS HKS turbos, what are they like on the street and would you have a dyno graph available as i am interested in seeing the power curve of these turbos, sorry a bit of topic. Love the car, the things i would give to own one of those

Yeah the turbos are extremely responsive on the street. I won't post much else in this thread to follow the forum rules but check the forced induction forum Rb26 Turbo Upgrade thread.

For a street GTR with a bit more poke than stock I can't imagine better turbos really.

Hi,

You said you've had car since 2004 but it doesn't say what year of make? Is ita 6 speed?

... Jen

Ah thanks. I copied and pasted from another website where it's listed and forgot that was listed seperately.

It is a 6 Speed Getrag manual.

I'll update the first post. Thanks.

Not many black GTRs around .. Concidering a stocker is 55-60g and this one is only 70g its abit of a steal concidering the work done to it ..

Didnt happen to drive up parra rd on the weekend because I happened to see a drop dead hot GTR 34 similar to yours .. I think he waved but my mouth was so far opened my brain was leaking out and it didnt register..

Nah mate. That wasn't me :action-smiley-069: I don't drive it when it's raining at all. Haha don't like driving it in the rain because then I have to wash it and every time i wash it it turns into a 2 day wash, wax, detail ordeal which is quite a lot of work.

Thanks for the kind words though. There's only a handful of black ones that I know about in NSW so I probably know of the car you're talking about though.

O M G!!!!

Why are you selling? why don't you just drive the car more often??? :(

Gorgeous cars lads and lassies!! wish i had the monies to buy it :D

Thanks :action-smiley-069:

Anyway - I just don't seem to be able to find the time to drive it anywhere. I'd love to drive it daily but since work is only 3km from home the motor wouldn't even warm up before I was at work.

      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).
