Weapon of Choice - GTR finally mine

[Jamezilla]

Yay!

I pick it up on Wednesday - only to go to the US for 2 weeks on Thursday :

But - finally - I have scored my dream machine.

Is a 1997 (Series 3) VSpec - a REAL one.

Yes it's purple. Yes they are 18x Volk TE37s. I'm pretty chuffed.

A reasonable step up from the Lada

More photos when I get back

boing.

that is awesome, congrats on the purchase!

Ryan:

Cheers

I have to say I'm a bit pleased. It's been a long time coming.

So typical to get it then store it for 2 weeks straight away though.

Looking forward to a bit of cruising. Got to think of a plate now...

[nissaner]

omfg...

midnight purple with bronze te37s... and series 3... with white indicator + side marker , what more can a boy want ?

congratulations~!

ps : avcr and safc inside ??

[skyline33]

Congratulations, that is one sweet machine.

Nissaner, looks like avcr and safc

[skyline33]

is this car from grand turismo??

[Jamezilla]

AVC-R and RSM:

Yes. Has Defi guages also. Will fit a PFC.

Gran Turismo:

Yes. I ordered a 'purple series 3' in October. They have been looking in Japan - and then this came up last week... it was a local car!

The previous owner is heading back overseas - and it's immaculate.

I would like to thank him/her actually - all the mods are brand-name and expertly installed. What a score

Pretty pleased

I'm back from the US in mid Feb - will be keen to meet lots of the Melbourne people.

I would've kept with the lada! :lol:

Sweet car. Don't forget, rev to 7000rpm, pop clutch, then smile!

[SS8_Gohan]

hehehe, and he's a melbourne person too!!

i am in love with TE-37's, man u've have a nice car!! just looks......awesome!!

[uLa32]

mmmmm...... nice rims my perfect choice too... keep it at my house if ya want, i got spare garage space i bought mine from gt autos too hehe.... billy and eddie are top blokes!

[Jamezilla]

Haha.

I've still got the Lada. It's too rad to sell

The Nissan is to replace the mighty Civic. The poor thing served me well.

Lots of 8500rpm clutch dumps in that baby. I wouldn't sell it to your sister

The photo doesn't do the car justice. It is truly awesome.

Sitting next to a 360 Modena Spyder in the showroom - and doesn't look out of place at all. I bought it on the spot.

Gohan:

Must hook up when I get back?

[Jamezilla]

Re: Gran Turismo

I have nothing but nice things to say. They found the perfect car. The price was right (espescially since there are over $20k worth of mods on the car). Bill is great to deal with - he's a funny guy

I'd recommend them

[MegaGTS4]

Wow Civic to R33 GTR V-spec! Another great leap for mankind!

Great car look after it!!(I would!)

MEGA

Mega:

Oh yeah - this will be very much the pride-and-joy.

I'm donating my BBQ to a friend to make sure there is ample room in the garage. The Lada will have to sleep outside

Also - bit of driver training is in order as it is sooo different to anything I have driven. I'll take good care

[Silver-Arrowz]

Good man! Best investment driver training.

[uLa32]

damn right!

got a power figure for that beast and/or a mod list? or is it top secret?!?!

[Jamezilla]

Arrows:

I'd be mad not to

Going from a FWD hot-hatch and a piece of agricultural machinery to a racing-car is a massive step. I want to learn how to drive the beast properly.

I've done lots of courses in the past - used to race the Civic at Phillip Island with the Honda club - lots of fun

Will do the Murcott package - including the beginner training (I want to start slowly )

uLa32:

Actually - I'm not sure as to the full extent of the mods and the power output... basically though - Apexi exhaust and computers (AVCR & RSM), HKS pods, ARC heat shield (could be intercooler also), looks like TEIN suspension, those lovely 18x9.5" TE37s... but stay tuned. I'll get it all sorted when I come back from the US.

I'll run a comp - see who can guess the Lada's output at all 4 wheels

[uLa32]

hehe can't wait... oh yeah, just like to mention that your TE37's look absolutely sexy... hehe.

did bill or eddie ever mention to you that they are going to have a track day for gt auto's customers at calder or sandown? last they told me, it was close to being finalised.
