After years of nagging my wife she finally said i could get my dream car. The next day i was at the car dealer putting in an order for a R34 GTR. Week later a VSPEC was found and was on its way over from Japan. Took 5 weeks to get here then another week to comply. Another week was spent adding minimum mods - titanium exhaust, ebc and filter kit. Also added a nismo kit and painted front lip (not diffuser). Lastly added 2 alarm system for peace of mind. All up 8 weeks to get into car (felt longer).

Have always wanted one since I saw a brand new R33 GTR in 96. Have always known it was the best car even though i had never been in one. My first time was when I drove off the lot with MY OWN GODZILLA. Had high expectations for this car and it has more than exceeded them. The pure driving pleasure it gives is the best.

My dream has come true and i hope yours does too..

firstly welcome to sau... and firstly again CONGRATULATIONS! welcome to the club of opening your beer 5 meters away from your car and facing the front bonnet... holding up your beer to the car and saying cheers :P ..... u will be doing it for the next 2 months...... u will talk to her an develope a deep bond..... i know i did when i purchased my immaculate r32 gtr 6 months ago. there is something about a gtr that pulls you in and you will quickly develope more respect for this car than you ever thought possible and it will keep exceeding your expectations... especially through the twisties (hills)

ontop of that your beast is absolutely stunning.... a real eye brow raiser! good luck with her and welcome to the empty wallet club....... LET THE MODDING BEGIN! :cool:

all the best

Im not the only one drooling over her, ive noticed other people around her doing it too.

I know what you mean! I had a WRX before, but I've never seen people react the way they do to the R! So many people stop and look.

It is a feeling you can't describe owning the GTR. It is the only car you will drive that will always ask questions of you as driver. You can go faster through that corner you know, comeon faster. It is a question of nerve, are you game enough to push it, the car is always asking you and telling you could do that faster. Once you get that thing on the track or at a DECA day you will understand. :geek:

Well done mate, I've got the exact same colour and spec GTR some two years ago now...still remember picking her up and the drive home...can't beat that feeling....you know what I mean!

Anyway, some months ago after telling myself that the car is perfect as it is with stainless exhaust 4 inches all the way from dump pipes, boost controller, turbo time that all came with the car...I've gone the pretty much the whole haul and got after market turbos, dump pipes, ECU, injectors etc...bar opening the engine (will happen some time I'm sure) and never looked back....you will get that bug too when you know there's more power to be had.

Good luck and happy driving!

      I also think it comes down to the dollars spent for quality items, there's some cheapie versions out there, which look fine, but, there are versions of much higher quality out there, but, you obviously pay more for the quality of materials used and quality control When I first got work done by Advan Performance on my old R33 the silicone joiners were cheapies and actually blew out on a joiner heading to the plenum, when I then took it to Unigroup they said that the silicone hoses they used and were junk, Unigroup replaced every hose on the engine with much higher quality items and from then I never had a issue with any hose Additional cost and quality gets you quality silicone base materials and quality reinforcement fabric stuff As for OEM rubber hoses, again, quality materials and strict quality control will give you quality hoses, but only to OEM spec, I believe using quality silicone replacements is a upgrade I  saying this I have only dealt with vehicles I own and play with

      Not gonna lie my sense of smell isn't the best. But it does look more grey to me. It doesn't smell like oil, friend says it smells like fuel.

      That's it. Too rich for me. I'm out. If it does start to sell in pieces, I'll probably register an interest in the diff & axles, gearbox & tailshaft, and maybe the brakes.

      I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps.

      Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?
