Hi D0p3y

Thanks for the thread. After reading it I had to go do it myself. Took the car for a week and just went cruising.

Mate also really appreciated the info you posted as well.

Two thumbs up cant get the grin of my face.

Nice one, I am dying to go back. Have been working on plans for a 12 day road trip actually, but probably won't do it until December next year (I want to do Nismo Festival again, hopefully they resume next year)

Is the GT-R still the same white 2007 model that I had?

[SILKGOD]

The one I had was a 2008 and had different plates.

Had 70K's on the clock. I put 3000 of those on LOL

[d0p3y]

Ah, thanks. I was hoping they had a fresher car by now -- the car I drove had 70k on it too and it was starting to feel a bit clunky. But, more importantly, I want to drive the updated model to see how much it has improved since.

So much epicness!

Love the photos!

[SILKGOD]

MMM funny you should say that the one I had seemed the same.

Also had a couple of moments at speed with it puling hard on ruts in the road?

[d0p3y]

Hmm, it was a while ago now but I can't recall it doing it badly. The whole car did feel like it had been thrashed hard though.

Damn... all this talk makes me really want to go back ASAP

[SILKGOD]

LOL I'm still in Japan and I don't want to come back.

I got the same impression with the car that it had had a hard life.

Have had some epic runs/cruses with some great people in some really serious cars.

[SILKGOD]

Def different cars.

The one I was in had 65K on it yours was showing 70K
