Here's the photo I saw on facebook.

I wouldn't say it was the best in the country. A lot of that in the comments on FB. Definitely had a big social media presence though.

I Don't know what happened but here's the photo and caption.

"People say you don't know what you've got until it's gone. Truth is, I always knew exactly what I had - just never thought I'd loose it.

R.I.P - GTR99V (19/09/2014)"

As nice a car as it is/was, looking at the impact into the drivers side, he is lucky the car is dead and not him. A little bit more sideways damage and it could have been lights out.

Hopefully it was well insured.

As one of the Best GTRS the country has seen or thee best

Can anyone confirm or Deny that GTR 99V is dead???

all the butt hurt gtr owners on the 'best' comment :P let it go.. i dont think it was the best and preferred it when it was completely stock. I do not like modified gtrs at all. stock as a rock, stock cd player even. that would be the best for me.

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
