  1. I have been going through the same deal as you the last couple of months. In my searches i have also found a few dodgey R32 gtr's an some nice ones with too much rust for my liking but that happens when your looking at older cars. There are definitly a few dodgey ones out there these days but like you im hoping to find a decent one some time soon.
  2. Looking good. Love the leather re-trim. Welcome!!
  3. It basically tells you all the factory info about a car and is used to find parts for that specific car (ie r33 gtst series 1 would have some different part numbers for some parts compared to a r33gtst series 2. You can run your vin through the nissan fast software and it will tell you the model code that you can decode to find out all the extras your vehicle came with. It will tell you the year of production, the colour it came from the factory as, engine, transmission, if its a vspec or not. An example. You are looking for say a r32 gtr and find a nice one that is claimed to be a 93 vspec. Looks like it has factory paint and its in good nick. Say you run the vin through the nissan fast software and find out its not actually a 93 model vspec. Its just a normal gtr with a sticker and its been re-painted since factory but is being claimed to be a standard well looked after vspec. You can now go back to the dealer and say they are basically full of shit and that you checked out all the vehices info and it doesnt add up. So instead of thinking you have just bought a nice 32 vspec for an alright price you were lucky and dodged buying an over priced stock 32 gtr that could well be pretty dodgey.
  4. damn that is good work. Would love to get it done to fix up my paint
  5. yeh mate its a vspec gtr.
  6. I have been following this since you first started and damn you have put in some serious work. Will be unreal the first time you drive it. Top stuff!!
  7. nice looking colour. Have seen a r33 painted a similar blue/purple pearl and it looked awesome
  8. damn thats looking good so far. Very keenly watching to see how it all turns out
  9. here ya go mate
  10. Im 6 feet 3" and nevr had any troubles getting in and out of any of my skylies (r33, r32) or any of my mates r34's. Must say the 34 felt like it had more room all round
  11. I dont see any harm in someone putting the time and effort in making their car better in everyway such as the engine, running gear, looks etc but for me i would still say i added all those things not claim it came from the factory as something it didnt.
  12. Small, light-ish, all wheel drive and with a bit of power they really haul ass. They are bloody fun to drive. Now i miss my old Familia GTR
  13. In the end you can change everything and put all the running gear of a gtr onto a gtst or gts4 but when you put the vin through nissan fast it will come up saying its a gtst/gts4.
  14. meh. Everything gives us cancer or slowly kills us....
  15. I would say just get everything checked out before you buy it by a mechanic and as long as everything is pretty good and there is nothing really wrong with it, i would try to keep at least a few grand in the bank for those unexpected times/breakages. That way you can cover yourself for most things that can go wrong.
  16. I think its pahetic. Just shows some people are as bad as the tools in commodores who put on HSV stickers/badges. You might have a fair bit of power but all in all it never has been and never will be a GTR no matter what you do to it. Live with the fact that you own a gtst, be proud of it and stop trying to make it something it never will be.
  17. here ya go mate
  18. nice vspec you have there mate
