Spotted At Bdo!

[Ruxis]

Was surprised to see a formiliar number plate when I entered big day out, I've never seen this car in person before but seen loads of photos.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this was terrys gtr yes? Is the owner on this forum?? Very good buy mate!

P.s How good was Nero! Hah.

Hey mate, yes Terry's old GTR "R34GTR" the bayside blue vspec II was at BDO, along with a collection of other interesting cars there.

A bloke named Simon now owns the car, he is on here and forum name is N11SMO.

I got free tix and cant complain about that, but missed out on Soundgarden and Kanye as we had to have the cars out by 7pm and didnt want to leave them outside unsecured. Living End were good though and also enjoyed hilltop hoods and a bit of Boy&Bear.

[SilverLure]

Soundgarden was a massive let down to be honest. Spotted this car also, such a sweet ride

[Ruxis]

was that your black NUR, god speed???

was also very nice! how the hell did you get that shine??? was like glass!!!

I heard the rotary fire up as i was on my way to girl talk, sounded bloody tough!

i think alot of bands/djs were a massive let down, girl talk was pretty awful, Soundgarden was too and Kanye nearly put me to sleep, after 20 mins i was out of there to the boiler room for shock one and nero, which both saved the night for me!

[God_speed]

Thanks Ruxis, yeah I am thinking of getting it detailed again though as I'd like to know there's a good coat of sealant on there for sure for peace of mind.

What songs did Soundgarden play? I was a bit of a fan when I was younger so I was a bit upset at having to miss them.

I didn't go to BDO but Soundgarden was f**king amazing at the Entertainment Centre on Wed night.

Now bring on Soundwave, I'm ready to get feral

[GTR-34A]

I thought soundgarden were really good, played all the good stuff! Nice to see you and your car mate, it's very nice.

Ps got my car back today and everything fitted, very happy with the end result!

Thanks Kat! Looks like I missed some good tracks. Was going to go home, drop my car off then come back, but wouldn't have made it back in time. Still, my tickets were *free*, so I can't complain

Cheers mate. Glad to hear they did a good job; but where are the pics?

Quick photo of the set-up (many other cars there but nothing that anyone on this forum would get excited about I'm betting, with the exception of a very tidy, white S15 with white Work Emotions (?). Didn't get a snap unfortunately.

This little Mazda B1300 ute was pretty cool as well...

The vl looks cool

[God_speed]

Yeah, actually the VL was alright. 5L too.

[r32-25t]

I've noticed most people are shying away from vl turbos and going to v8s

[God_speed]

I guess as the VL era cars get older, those cars that were bought solely to chase power and 1/4 mile times will eventually die off and the VLs that are left which will stand any chance of holding their value (aside from the HDTs / HSVs) will be the 'traditional' 5L Calais spec. There was a neat VH there as well, shaved engine bay etc; except it was beige...

There was also the '8ATMAN' ute which has taken out a few ute / Nats awards I think, had a MASSIVE turbo on a worked V8 and pretty OTT airbrushing and stereo / TV in the tray. And then there were the Queen Street cars.

[GTR-34A]

didnt get a chance to get many good pics today as it was nearly dark by the time i finished fitting the splitter.

Heres a couple to get the idea.

the car looks alot lower now... will be sometime before i can get a coilovers due to driveway troubles..

Need to drill new holes for front number plates and respray the backing plate behind rear number plate as its faded.

Looks really good now imo.

Cheers,

Anthony

^^^^ nom nom nom^^^ love yellow 34 Gtr's

[Ruxis]

Spotted GTR 34A out the front of supercheap kotara today, gorgeous car mate! Love the yellow!

R34 gtr is my favourite cars and yours is in top 3 that I've seen!

[GTR-34A]

Cheers mate,

When I bought it I was abit iffy on the colour (wasn't looking for a yellow one) and it had chrome wheels, but the condition of it was hard to pass up. But after the new wheels, skirts etc i am now very happy with it now I have made it what I wanted.

End result imo is fantastic

Cheers,

Anthony

[God_speed]

Just saw these pics - looks brilliant mate. Such a contrast in the colours, looks awesome.

Also I like the new plate!

[GTR-34A]

^ cheers mate,

Most of the big stuff visually is out of the way now, may add little things here and there though down the line. Next up will be stage one mods as I want to get it on the dyno to check everything is running well as it has a nistune ecu and I don't think the last owner dynoed it. Will be running a different ecu so will add other stage one mods at the same time.

Plates were a really hard choice for colour.. I think they look good though.

Cheers,

Anthony

Thanks mate, It's one of the cleaner examples i've seen going around and certainly the cleanest that I inspected when I was in the market for one.

P.S. The RE30's that were on it on the day are currently for sale, as are the gold aadvan's that were previously on it (just in case anyone's interested) I'm also after some 19's if anyone knows of a nice set floating around.

Cheers
