everytime i look at that orange gtr i think about how absolutely edible it is...

The orange one looks amazing in the flesh. The quality of the paint is superb. Car was stripped and done right.

Sat in it today and man those recaros are comfy.

vanilla closed down before last year, BB//

thats a definite no go. Unless they got it reopened somehow..??

really? d'oh. I was there in 2007 though so it can't have been closed before that. unless I dreamed it? bummer. I liked that place.

I don't like the orange...

I'm with you. I don't like the orange either (actually, I don't like orange cars in general). Its just a bit too "flat" for my liking (compared to it being a "hyper lemon" yellow instead, to use JUN terminology). If I wanted a really vibrant, stand out colour for a stand-out car (like, for example, a Lamborghini) then I'd want it bright yellow.

That said, I don't think the GT-R should look that. Its not a "tough" colour. If I afford one the only colours I'd consider would be a bright red (not the flat almost-maroon the car comes in but more like Ferrari's), Nismo silver (the Z-Tune hue), pearl white or jet black.

350 Zeds look better

*runs....

350 what? what is that?

i'm usually not a fan of orange either but having the black wheel makes it sooooo much better, but to look tough they need the big Amuse rear wing.

Dunno how you can say it looks flat. It's one of the least flat colours i could imagine. I dunno maybe you just need a better pic of it.

maybe he means milky flat...

mmmmmmmmmm.....milkyyyy flat bright orrranggge jaffffa GTRRRRRRRR grrahhh gglluurghh

So it seems the body kits have started, but what about mechanical upgrades - is anyone doing thm yet?

Not a lot really - Most of the big tuners are still in the prototype phase with their own parts and several cars like the Mines and HKS R35's were said to be running test or prototype versions of the F-Con or VX Tuned Rom.

I overheard Trust talking about their GTR, and they actually say that the car is very difficult to modify and it will be some time before any real performance parts or upgrades are ready.

From what I saw yesterday, the HKS car had the most in the way of obvious visual engine bay changes, but these were only a pair of HKS Sequential BOV's to replace the stockers, a polished hard piping kit and HKS pod filters.

Top Secret GTR looks hotter, with bigger, darker rims it'll be awesome.

The orange R35 is equivalent to a big, oiled up pole-dancer. Too much sex, not enough foreplay.

Smokey is good at foreplay methinks :whistling:

R35 bodykits will be interesting, but i'm DHYING to see what mechanical mods the big tuners will come up with.

Can't wait to hear a 1000hp VR38 blaze through Tsukuba :D

And some Tsuchiya R35 touge videos, maybe even against R32/3/4 GTRs!

Yeah so nothing meaningful yet

Why did Trust say its hard to modify?

Ya. DCD from the UK forums tried to tell Top Secret about the spelling error but there's not much they can do in the midst of Auto Salon so it went on show exactly like that. Except with more hotties standing on it posing. Pics in a sec.

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
