Here I was hooning on my scooter around Phuket Island with some mates when I glanced a White R35 GTR to the side of the road.

Needless to say I almost got cleaned up by a car when I drifted into the oncoming traffic whilst looking at it. I have to say it looks way better up close than in photos... one horny ride.

Dont know why you would bother owning one there cos you just cant drive it the way it wants to be driven from the traffic and shit roads. Couldnt find the owner but im sure he is the king of Phuket roads with this awesome car!

I want one :teehee:

the owner could possibly be some sort of army general, heard from thai friends that alot of them are very corrupt and very rich.

yeah quite a waste having it in thailand, im not even sure if they have any racetracks which you can take it onto.

Damn, I wouldn't want to be driving that in Thailand!

Endless paranoia about "dings and scrapes" from moto's, cyclo's, tuk tuk's, elephants, and what have you.

The money paid for the car could buy a mansion over there.

Also, can you imagine trying to keep that beautiful white coat clean....

considering HKS has an official R&D branch in Thailand, and Sepang International Circuit (where they have the F1 and JGTC rounds) isn't that far away, in addition to Nakornchaisri that's local, I'd say there's plenty of potential.

Lol, just picturing you scootering around the bends and then sh!tting yourself when you spotted the GTR lol. I'm gonna be clinically dead for about 10 seconds when i see one for the first time :teehee:

Hope it made your holiday (if that's why you're there) even better!

This was on Phuket Island... would be a mission getting it to Sepang in Kuala Lumper... mind you he probably has the dough to throw it on a plane and take it there!

Yeah mate it was a hairy moment ill tell you that... I was going around a corner doing about 80 when i saw it. And it sure did make my day/trip!

gotta admit though there was a couple of good straights and corners out of town where we maxed out the scooters at 105k's... so he could have a little bit of fun :D

looks like they already stole the nissan badge off the boot:)

looks too clean for the badge to be stolen, maybe he doesnt want to people know that its a nissan and had it removed. it is quite a big badge and kinda stands out a bit too much

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
