^ agreed.

Once you start factoring in all the rarer bits it will add up to a fair bit - things like

-Rear Window with no wiper

-Non ABS lines, holders, master cyl

-Single motor washer bottle - yes its different to a standard GTR :happy:

-N1 engine, N1 turbo's (of course you don't need these if its just a looks replica)

And when you're all said and done, you'd have spent triple for what is still a fairly standard car.

BUT - that aside, go for it. Will be great to see another fresh original GTR. A few people are starting to do this.

i am looking into buying 1 but i havent found 1 so if any body knows where 1 of these are let me know

i want to find a genuine car first then do a build to show room condition

the big question is how bad do you want one, and more importantly how much are you willing to pay :D

Even though i consider selling mine every now and then, one look at it and that silliness goes away.

BUT, everything has its price :)

Perhaps you'd like to make contact with the owner of the N1 R32 GT-R that will appear on...

Cover Story of Cars Guide - Daily Telegraph, early in October???

+1. Although mine's got small lil flaws around, I still find it hard to part with.

^haha

I think the important question here is how do we get all 3 above N1's in one spot at the same time for a nice photo shoot :D

Hahaha no idea. The last I heard was someone planning to organize some N1 meet. Nothing concrete yet though.

However, driving to Sydney wouldnt be an issue if cops dont do you for less than 95dB.

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
