Goodbye My Gtt, And Welcome...

[vspecIInur]

Saw this a while ago and it makes my nur look like nothing. Guess that what happens when you compare something stock and something with high quality mods and beautiful aesthetics

Congrats on the car. Best thing you could ever do.

[some_cs_student]

Great car! Can't wait to see it in person...

[Gazzilla]

Congrats on car bro.. Looks great... but I reckon you need a lower Profile Rear-wing, Unless you are going to race it..

you must have won the lotto or made some good investment

[LotusGTR]

I just bought something pretty darn sexy from a well known Stuttgart manufacturer and this makes me wonder.........if......I.......should.......have......

Congratulations. Very well done.

Also how the hell did The Baron get this car complied with all those mods!!!!! When I imported mine, the compliancer had to even remove the Xenons to get compliance. Had I known I would have imported a Mines car or something like that from say Global GTR from the very beginning.

I am sure if if youe were to buy all those individual items that are now on your car, it would add up very easily to 50-60k in parts alone. Bargain if you paid a reasonable price for your car!!

Would love to know how he got this car complied too. Saw this car in person outside one of the car workshops few months ago. It looked really nice!!

profile update!!

Very nice man! Gorgeous and a great stack of mods.

I was wondering what you would get after the GTT

thanks mate. You have one of the best 33's on here, hands down - if i didn't go the R i would have serious started contemplating building up my 34 more the way you've gone.

LOLL WHAT?

Congratulations Daniel! looks awesome!

yeah, some random guy gets in the passenger seat just completely out of the blue! lol just gets in... he thought it was like the motor show or something! hahah, strange fellow...

Beautiful NUR Daniel! I had been wondering when you would get hold of your dream BNR34.

The mods are certainly top shelf stuff! I like those Alcons in particular and all the suspension tuning. Let's not mention the HKS 2530s. However, I wonder whether your loud exhaust and all those highly conspicuous under the bonnet mods would eventually attract the wrong police attention....

Should definitely catch up. I would love to check out your car in person.

Dammit I missed the Show and Shine!

Cheers

It's definitely not in keeping with some of the established Australian tuning philosophy, that's for sure but Midori did build a time attack car that could best the Mines car on occasion around Tsukuba, so they must have some idea what they're doing

The titan exhaust is definitely louder than the GTT, took some getting use to but it's ok now - i really don't think it would be illegal under normal testing conditions. Would be interesting to compare to the Racepace exhaust.

If i can find a 34 R airbox that doesn't cost a zillion dollars, i might try and do a back to back comparison. Pods prob weren't my first choice but i know these guys have been at GTR's for a long time, so i trust their judgement. I'm sure i'm bound to fiddle but this was how she was built, so i'll just enjoy it like this for a little while.

we got some of the Midori receipts, and the owner certainly put down the $ that's for sure. Better him than me! hahah

It's still no HKS Step 2 RB28 Vcam Matt, let's not forget that! In the hands of some handy drivers, would be interesting to see whether all the suspension work on mine is able to make up for the power/torque difference around a track - i'd prob think highly unlikely, but would be an interesting test none-the-less

yessss..... such a shame you weren't there............

ooo... is that the city of the Porka? something different for Trent to tune

thanks for all the kind words peoples! hope to get out there a bit more now that blackie has been sold and the new one is here

[Jap_Muscle]

Sorry to hijack, SS8_Gohan, but what car did you get Mr LotusGTR ?

[SS8_Gohan]

that's alright, i'm interested too!

compliance wasn't cheap, obviously a decent whack of labour involved and required patience... just looking over some of the bills for this thing. I wouldn't undertake the exercise lightly if doing it again. Compliance was $$ but still presented some decent value i thought at the end of the day, although not all might see it that way

[Modena]

When I bought my first skyline R33 GTST II, it came with number plates TYE132 what a coincidence

[SS8_Gohan]

hahaha, that would have been funny to line up, TYE132 and TYE133 - you rego it around March '06?

Don't change the wing! I love those high ones! Very time attack.

yep march 06 got it from a car yard in Huntingdale

i might soon be back with a 350z

[phunky_monkey]

Beautiful car, well done on the purchase. It makes me want a 34 GT-R

[Beer Baron]

you'll never catch me banner....... no you wont...........wont....

yes I helped the D-man import his car which is no doubt a one in a million car. as far as how the baron complied it? That's the barons business but it's all above board of course. just takes a bit of extra dough and a bit of patience and a bit of effort but for the right car it's worthwhile. don't expect to rock up with your off it's nuts GTR and then expect someone to comply it for $2K for you. be prepared to pay the right money and you get the right work.

Plus daniels car is not actually too extreme on the eye, either outside of under the bonnet. Like he said a few little changes like an airbox and... well that's about it, and it would look very standard. There's some shiny stuff here and there and the massive Alcons are a bit of a give-away but there is no massive single turbs, it's not super loud (but my standards it's super quiet), and it DOES have a cat (proper one too).

anyone thinking of importing an off it's tits race car as a road car think again, but a car like this is a bit different. for starters it meets sevs requirements in all aspects in that it has zero rust, zero structural repair, no roll cage etc. it had some serious mods but none that were not reversible for import and compliance if need be. it retained original engine block etc all numbers match. it's a legit car with some nice gear.

and like tangomatt said (and I know daniel doesn't really brag or make a big deal of it) but there is easily $60K in parts on it (that alcon kit alone from midori is over $15k) and that's just parts. about the same cost again in labour to have it all done and tuned etc so it does represent good value for money buying a car like that. but the main point is dan love it and it's such a cool car. everyone I know who has seen it reckons it's about the best, most complete GTR they've seen and being a genuine 1 owner NUR makes it all the more special.

if anyone wants one like it you are welcome to talk to me and I may be able to help you out. don't expect a 1 owner, midori built, VII nur to pop up any time soon though! but there are always special cars still in japan looking for homes.

yes we have argued over the wing for many nights even when the car was still in japan! it was one of the first things that daniel wanted to change and at first I was un-decided by as soon as I saw the car in the flesh with TE37s and the nismo side skirts and the dry carbon wing extensions I was in love. they really complete the package nicely and give the car an awesome stance. it just gives that tiny little bit of toughness to it. and dan will know but from memory they are about $1000 a pair!!! genuine midori made and in dry carbon.

[blah_blah]

Awesome ride! Was starring at it at the SAU SnS! Wish i could get a ride in it!

change the $ to GBP (pounds) and you're about on the money - they were low-mid $2000 - which i think is about equivalent to what Mines want for their uprights
