Spotted A R35 Gtr In Thailand Of All Places!


Recommended Posts

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

actually when i was last in thailand there were a few japanese guys there who were in hiding from the law or yakuza or something like that. might be someone like that who owns one :( don't get too comfy with it... they might chop ya :ninja:

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

    • 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).
