the mmmgtir update - car gone, car coming

[Beer Baron]

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd post up a little update on my cars. First bit of news is that the GTI-R has been sold

The funny thing is, on the same day I was going to drop it off to the new owner, my import approval arrived for this:

and it's booked on a ship leaving japan on 20/12 and arriving in OZ on 12 January (which is when I'll be in Japan - weird). It's supposedly in very good condition and has some light mods (coil overs, clutch, wheels, exhaust, oil cooler etc).

I've also just negotiated the purchase of this for me and my girlfriend to cruise around in the mean time:

Interior pic:

and the rear end:

It's a UZZ32 Active soarer which means it comes with the active, hydraulic suspension (as opposed to the usual air bags that many V8 soarers have), and all the top of the line goodies. It has the TV, and reverse camera (very cool) and every luxo feature you can name (auto headlights, speed sensitive wipers, seat heaters, 12 stack cd stacker with lots of speakers, even a subwoofer).

So, looks like I'll be attending meets in the land yacht for a little while.

Perhaps you should get a towbar for the boat and get serious with the GTR?

[fatz]

mmma active great cars till you have to rebuild the suspension then just lube up your arse and feel the g's

[Beer Baron]

Bob: or I could get a towbar for the GTR, and race the boat! Works for John and the z-sled.

Fatz: no doubt, but this particular active just had the struts rebuilt and re-charged with hydrogen just over a month ago.

Hey Richard...get Nathan to show you how to put the soarer in diagnostic mode it is farking funny

good to hear you have the approval, when will it hit the boat?

[someonestolecc]

woo glad to hear you sold your car. well.. glad but sad

Good luck with the GT-R - cruise sometime

[GTRSRULE!!!]

mmmgtir: nice car the pics put the icing on the cake. when u told me about it on sunday it sounded good but after seeing pics of it. :aroused: a mint sc400/soarer. :drooling: of course that r32 gtr looks that goods as well :drooling::drooling::drooling:

[GTR R35]

Glad you finally sold the GTiR. The new owner is getting a great car that was well loved.

Nice pics of the GTR.....I will take up an offer to drive that beast:wassup:

[fatz]

yea get a tow bar dude you know you want to

[Beer Baron]

Duncan, yeah that diagnostic mode is so cool. Surely there must be some kind of aftermarket controller so you can make it do what you want? that would be sweet. the GTR is booked to leave Japan on 20 December, arriving 12 Jan.

cc: for sure it's sad to see the little animal go, but the new owner seems to like it as much as I did, I'm sure he'll give it a good home, and as soon as your car is sorted, and mine here, cruising will be on the cards.

GTR!!!: thanks mate, the soarer was a real find.

mal: he he, we'll see! It may seem a little tame after the XR though. :flamesuit on:

I just cant wait to get it here and sorted now.

Richard

[Beer Baron]

yea get a tow bar dude you know you want to

is this going to be the new SAU tow car now? he he. members rates to all SAU members:

if your RB26 gets b-manned at the track (which it no doubt will) I'll tow you home in luxury for $50

Richard

[Guest Mashrock]

Looks like your car is on the same boat as mine!

i cant wait for the 20th!!

mine also has some light modifications..

n1 engine, turbos, trust 6 speed, f50 brembos, and then some!!

hehe cant wait. its sure going to be a big move up from a gti-r as thats what i have now..

[Beer Baron]

Sounds awesome mash. very nice.

Richard

[Beer Baron]

Well boys. I picked up the soarer last night and I have to say, I'm very impressed. It is such a nice car, every possilbe luxo feature you could imagine (and some you couldn't). Also, if any of you were listening to nova this morning you may have heard a funny story about me buying the car.

Richard

[fatz]

[Beer Baron]

Fark waiting around then, just let brendan drive it to the shops. Bam! instant RB31 excuse

Richard

[fatz]
