Thanks ELFGT350! Wow you've got the Rays 19" and manual ... sweet! Those I missed out on. :P

LOL, I'm exactly the same way - wanted black or lakeshore. The colour change is awesome, kinda like Ayer's rock :D

Because there were not many V35s around here when I was looking, I actually had to compared the different colours on GT5 P! As good as the rendering was or actual pictures of the car in Japan, it doesn't do the car or colour justice.

Posted in 'the gallery', but didn't receive any responses, so guessed that i had posted in the wrong thread... Just picked up a V36 370 a couple of weeks ago. Finally decided to replace my 4door R32

Nice buy Geoff. Looks looks very tidy for an 01.Sure you will have many good miles ahead.

Cheers ELF

I have to admit this is going to be the wife's daily :P I've had my toys (at least that's what she said)

This without doubt the best thing driven I've for long time. Nothing like my old GTR, but then not supposed to be. It also doesn't rattle your fillings out, empty the tank in 1.5 hours or etc, etc

And it's nice too have my 2 young boys excited to go to school again (Yes, they love the looks they get in the drop off zone)

I toyed with the idea of buying something Australian built for the same money............. for about a millisecond. No Contest

Nice one Geoff, I got the 300gt for my wife as well and for myself the 350 :P

my 2 1/2 yr old daughter can now differentiate mom and dads car lol.

A 350 for me sounds good as well, not likely to happen. But hey, can't hurt to dream

Or maybe another GTR, or a V36, or a (insert huge list of potential toys)

Hey guys, just introducing my new car.

I've posted here on the forum and done quite a bit of research before, so now that I've finally taken some pictures of the V, I thought I'd better introduce myself proper.

I picked up the car in late May. It's a silver 2003 coupe AT. Attached you'll find some pics of the car.

The rear of the car was inspired by BLISTC, when I was doing research on the forum about the car, I saw his signature and just felt in love with the way the rear looks without the badges!!!

I've already has a couple of updates to the car via Chris Rogers. A Garmin GPS has been installed with all Australian maps running from the original screen.

Cruise Control and Radio controls on steering wheel also installed.

HDTV tuner for Australian TV installed.

Changed the orange indicators for the clear ones "Group buy" :worship:

To be installed:

Plenum Spacer "Group buy also" :D

Grounding Kit "Group buy also" :)

Nice one Juan Pablo..Clear lenses always good on the Silver. BLISTC's ride is nice--I 've seen it at the V's get together a few times. Boy she rides low too !

Thanks Elie,

Yes, the clear indicators certainly make a difference! That orange colour of the originals just cries over the silver of the car.

BLISTC's car looks nice from the pics he's posted here, haven't seen it in person though!

Millos, nice car - I did the same with the horrible orange indicators - bought them before buying the car in fact.

How good is the cruise control on the wheel! I just got Chris Rogers to install the same on mine too.

The V35 is a definite step up from Silvias and Supras!

I'm loving the attention at the moment... the vast majority of people on the road have never seen one and stare - especially in a colour which stands out like Caribbean blue.

That or they think I'm a wanker with custom plates.

yeah the custom plates thing

I've got some plates, but I haven't used them for a few years because just think its too showie

I know how you feel: my v35s aren't due to arrive until July 20, but my importer just sent me photos of the brand-new, dirty big scratch on the passenger side of the 4.5A grade car... It wasn't there at the auction, but the report at the dock lists it, so it must have happened in transit :down:

and this is why im scared of importing

      S15 Spec R

      Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
