Each to their own mate but as I can't afford a Gullwing this was a pretty nice tin can to me with 300kW and a weight of about 1200kegs

Mate that thing is awesome !

Glad you found her a good home.

Life is so much better when you stop caring about what anyone else thinks about you and your decisions.

And things have changed. In the last 6 months driving around for work, I've seen about 6 R32 GTRs, one of those about 5 times, beautiful example, 4 R34 GTRs and not one 33GTR, not one. Interesting side note and a little off the track, but I tend to give a thumbs up to another GTR driver when I'm in mine, and for some reason, the R34 owners reciprocate and sometimes want a chat whereas the 32 owners don't really give a toss. Just something I've noticed when in mine.

What's that about. Funny..

cause all r34 drivers drive them for the passsion, they dont just throw out 50k for a car like that unless they are totally loaded tools. the r32 is cheap, easy to come by, people dont mind spending the 14k for a r32gtr, so they will most possibly neglect the car.

(does not apply to every driver)

but most GTR's are hard to come by, i see more r33's than any other skyline, just my own personal prefrence not liking them, but what does that have to do with anyone else liking them??? its not my choice what they want to drive

32 drivers think they have the original and therefore the best (cheapest). It's a self defense mechanism and they need to stay in character.

Yes, the new owner will look after it as that was important to me.

He will continue where I left off to make this car the best it can be :thumbsup:

He's just jealous, and is most probably trying to make himself feel better.

Do you really care what someone who obviously craves the attention of others thinks?

A true car enthusiast doesn't want to get looks from others, they drive the car because they love it.

You made the right choice, and it's not like your car is common. In fact, your car will almost certainly become a classic, given that it's a GTR V-SPEC and Series 3.

If I were you though, i'd keep the original wheels and try to keep as much of the original parts as possible because in the future it will help it to retain it's value.

      Not alot of room in the front or mid pipe to play with Helmholtz chambers, plus they are pretty hit and miss getting the length and volume right, and time is money when it comes to trial and error testing at a exhaust shop, it isn't like test fitting mufflers or resonators From previous experience with exhausts and trying to tone down the volume and eliminate some drone, a resonator in the mid pipe typically make it much better,  and even possibly stop Jackie complaining about it, me, I really don't notice it that much, but, I am pretty deaf 🤣

      I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.

      200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.

      The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
