Tezz, secks car mate. Id love a 32 N1 to sit beside my ADM, just waiting for Phil to get off his arse and find me one.

[God_speed]

Oh wow, I was way off!

I guess that beyond a certain 'thinness' the undercoat would start showing through? Sounds to me like 80 doesn't leave much to work with in terms of detailing!

[Black Widow]

It seems as though with each new car Terry acquires, the more and more jealous I become.

Hey Terry, I'm loving your dedication to the gtr; you truly make everyone on this forum proud to be line owners.

I dunno if you have ever seen initial d, but there is a character who is a r34 gtr togue racer who had owned also the 32 and 33. His passion reminds me of yours; well done mate.

My 34 is still amazing and gives me thrills every time I take her out. For that I'd like to thank:

Body form for providing me with Ztune skirts and pods and Jason from preston panels for providing me with quality work for years

CREATD ms for tuning my car to run reliably without a hiccup for around 3 years now

And

Kudos for misc parts

[GTR-N1]

^ ^ ^ Thanks Johnny - we've engaged in mutual and constructive encouragement over the years!

Time to 'Show and Tell' my very 1st r34 GT-R:-

Many Thanks to...

* Sam A. for selling me a V-Spec R34 GT-R when it wasn't; but hey I was a noob and didn't know about SAU back then. He lied when I asked him if it was a real V-Spec.

* John O'Sullivan for inspecting this car to be sound. I wanted an experienced mechanic > A friend who'd worked on Dr Edelsten's Countache, E-Types, Lagonda, Bentley etc

* Eugene (SAUer aka JDM Performance) for a new C/F Rear Diffuser

* CarMate for a new Nissan copy F/G front diffuser

* Team Jetspeed for C/F Radiator Air Guide

* Ken Lowe Racing for a plastic NACA Duct copy of the V-Spec II one

* JSAI for the Nismo copy F/G side skirts and rear pods

* Stephen Phillips - Steve's Autobarn Blackheath who serviced this car with the same care that he used to service the Buddy car in Zoom Mag

* Peter - Bodyformaero for fabricating brackets to fix the C/F Rear diffuser

* Kristian (SAUer aka Iron Chef) for Advan RG Racing Wheels

* Alistair - Powerplay Imports for Tanabe suspension that is superb

* Darron - Just Jap for spare parts and accessories

* Eugene (SAUer aka JDM Performance) for preparing the car's detail prior to its Cover Story in the Daily Telegraph

* Ken Hepworth - Motoring Editor of Daily Telegraph Cars Guide Cover Story 17/4/09 timed perfectly before the R34 GT-R 10th Anniversary

* Peter - Bodyformaero for the Nissan copy rear wing blade in C/F

* SAU Members for voting this car for Best Concours Award at the R34 GT-R 10th Anniversary SnS

* Mark Skaife for signing the Award Certificate

Cheers, Tez

That second last pic holding the helmet is a really nice one Terry!

[GTR-N1]

Thanks to you guys for NOT hackin' out on me for being a noob back in 2002 and buying this... 'er putting on non-genuine items

LOL

Many Thanks to...

* The seller (whose name I've forgotten) that brought this car over for himself until he got into financial difficulty. Whilst paying the $44K across (in 2002), his parents were in a heated argument with him for bringing this car across at a loss.

I don't think the argument was 'put on'. But hey I sold this GT-R in 2005 for $39,500, so there was no big drop in depreciation for me.

* Tempe Tyres for wheels and tyres that were needed to replace the Supra wheels that came on the car from Japan - wtf

* Powerplay Imports for telling me that the car had been rear-ended - minor I think - lol > I loved buying l'il nick-knacks from there.

* Milperra Tyres for selling me Pirelli P-Zero tyres near new > stuck like glue

* John O'Sullivan the mechanic that inspected the car with me before buying - he used to service Dr Geoffrey Edelsten's Jags/Lambos/Bentley/Aston etc

* Nissan for making that gorgeous Midnight Purple colour - sensational! And it never gave me an ounce of trouble.

* My sons who discussed between themselves that, "Dad's bought a V8 Killer" - Rofl. Especially Matt who talked me into buying this in the first place

* Simon and Dan Mackie for not getting in first to buy this.

[GTR-N1]

terry when i saw this car for sale i was hoping someone on here would buy it so i could see it up close and so i could keep track of it in the hope of one day saving up enough to buy it.

take care of the car terry, it's very nice.

Well another Matthew knows how to bring out the best of it tweety - even if it's dark outside!

Thanks to Matthew Everingham.

I know it took all of you not to make him an offer on the black 300ZX instead, that he owned as well

This thing was in spectacular shape, particularly the paint. And it was so exciting when you brought it home, around the time when there were not many Skylines on the road, let alone GTRs.

The wheels that came on it were GTCs if I remember correctly, but they were 17"s and were completely the wrong offset, with not one, but two spacers on each of the front wheels, can't remember what spacers were on the back...

[TM7GTR]

Any pics of your 32R Terry?

Yeah I was always in love with the 300ZX shape.

The rims were a staggered offset suitable for a Supra.

I got away with that one. If only I knew a reputable importer back then. But things could have been worse. At least there was no rust.

This car (more than my build on the Datto 1600), was the start of my addiction.

Hehe...

Still waiting for Bobby to notify me with his!

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

The day when he buys the Winfield R32 GTR

[GTR-N1]

I wish!

hehe...

Trouble is...

* I'd find it hard ethically, to lease it out to British American Tobacco (Aust)

Whereas...

* the GIO Chassis #4 car; I could easily lease out to an insurance company = the only way to make money out of them!

[bozodos]

there would be a certain irony in you leasing the Winfield R32 back to BAT though

[GTR-N1]

Yep...

But they'd have me over a barrel by putting out on FB that this hypnotherapist was making $$ out of cigarettes.

What you'd need is a R32 GTR N1.

Or a R32 GTR and keep it clean with the Nismo Body Kit / Wheels / Suspension / Exhaust.

You're mindreading again! Lol

...have been discussing a plan with another N1 owner

[r32-25t]

I think you should grab the set terry
