They reckon owning/modifying cars is an addictive habit. I definitely can't argue with that, this now makes car number 15 in the 13 years I've been driving!

I always swore I'd never do the whole importing process again, but yeah, same old story goes with "I'm leaving this one totally stock" haha.

Recently went on the hunt for, and acquired a GTR in as tidy/clean/well looked after/genuine low km condition as I possibly could. A few months went past and several shocking "grade 4" examples until this one was found.

Details:

Built 11/1997 Series 3
R33 GTR V-Spec
Midnight Purple
Usual V-Spec items (brembos/coolers/fins etc)
1 Jap Owner
54***kms with complete service history and books (last service identified at 51,360kms)
Cat-Back Exhaust
Also appears to be lowered (visually) but nothing was mentioned on the auction sheet
Completely stock other than the above.

I tried to keep the matching Jap number plates but that was a no go :(

There's a few things in the pipeline in terms of mods (wheels/suspension/tune/half cage/seats - track work) but first things first are maintenance so I've ordered a 100,000km service kit including all gaskets/oil/water pumps etc.

The car recently arrived into the country and has just cleared customs & quarantine this week so will be off to the compliance workshop shortly I suspect.

On another note, it arrived at the compliance workshop yesterday morning, albeit dirtier than a kings cross hooker, emptier than my bank account on a daily basis, and flatter (battery) than a pre-teen beiber fan.

Now, to start learning about GTR's as I previously never really ever thought I'd think about owning one - let alone actually owning one lol.
