Hi

After being an old-school Honda guy forever I bought a 350gt a few months ago. I'd always thought that when I bought a performance car it would be a Type R, mainly because there's something about a Honda four howling at 8000rpm that can't really be matched. But front drive always felt wrong to me, and the turning point was driving a friend's FD2 Type R.

It was slow.

So I swung back the other way. Rear drive, big displacement - f**k it. Nothing can touch a VQ Nissan. And the sound. Oh yes, the sound.

So now I'm the proud owner of an '03 350gt 6mt coupe and couldn't be happier. Because it is one of the classic car shapes of the last twenty years and it pulls like a mule.

Big up to the Nissan crew

Ha! I haven't seen many introduction posts like this.

:welcome: to the site. Got any pics? I was just posting in the other V-series sedan intro thread where another bloke is buying one also and I'm considering one to replace my Bora for a daily commuter. They're getting very popular these days and why shouldn't they?

Anyway, hope you enjoy the site.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!

      Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure

      A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins

      Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
