It doesnt look very stock to me, but i think you can argue the fact that they had a front mount intercooler stock. I might be wrong though, anyone?

[S T A R 3 3]

First impressions was that its not. If so, it looks very schmick.

[noakespg]

Hey guys! I havent posted for about 12 months I reakon.

Just thought i would start posting again as I just bought a new R32 GTR.

If you see a gunmetal grey GTR with a veilside front bar cruisin around Qbn and belconnen its probably me.

See ya's all soon.

Welcome aboard, A!

I met you at the Tsunami cruise, I'm sure- it was a mate & I that organised and ran it! Learn to love and respect your GT-R, and she'll be good to you! Agreed with those that said PM _8005TED_ re insurance - top fella!

[Guest]

Thank you! thank you! thank you!... I got a quote from 8OOSTED, $600 cheaper than Just Cars or Dawes. So I am getting insurance with Shannons.

I am very happy....

[leech_]

not to cut Matt's grass as he helped me out in the past. Give Ryno a ring. I have not had to put a claim in with them so i can't tell you how they go in that regards but they smashed everyones quote for me.

[sigsputnik]

That is a stock intercooler, right?

Looks stock to me, but shot of the engine bay would tell us more.

[Guest]

I picked up the car!

I LOVE IT!

Oh my god, so much power.... car puffs & breathes like it's alive. I LOVE IT.

Is racing fuel inlet standard? You just stick the pump in the hole, no unscrewing lids. I spent 30 seconds trying to unscrew the thing at the patrol station.

$100 for a fill up... ouch.

I don't even know what else it's got. It's got few big hoses that other GTRs didn't have.

I'll post some pix.

Turbo timer hidden somewhere.

Crisp exhaust tune...

[sigsputnik]

Good to hear mate.

Lol NOOOOOPE - does it have an 'unleaded fuel only' sticker? if not, that's a defect.

$100 for a fill up... ouch

Maybe larger tank? I'm usually $70.

Post pix!

Looks like mine. Could be a stocky with paint stripped off of it.

If you see a slow driving GTR, that would be me. Fuel consumption is pretty bad, but I didn't buy it for fuel economy.

This crazy car is up for sale already.

what? your selling already :X?

[Guest]

It took about 8 months to sell my MR2 Spyder, I might as well start advertising early.

The car is running very well, that's when is best time to sell.

[Guest]

Everytime i come home, it stinks the whole house. I have a 1 year old daughter who'll be smelling this. I am very concerned her health and mine too. I keep the garage door open, turn on fans to blow air out....

I got criticised badly from the family, especially from my wife, for me being selfish and buying a sports car. I always had sports cars, I was hoping that she would understand, but this one is a bit over the top.

So my options are....

1. Get rid of the pool table in the garage, buy a cheap reliable small car - drive that around town instead.

2. Sell the Skyline.

I'm exercising both options at the moment.

I'm looking for a small car (like Excel or Daihatsu), as well as putting the ads for Skyline.

Damn that sucks Anthony. I guess that will teach you for not conferring with the missus. I am in discussions at the moment for a set of rims... it will be a tough fight and some sacrifices will have to be made but I think I can pull it off

[Baconer]

3. get a new missus and live in the car

[CeJay]

ah well, what about a stagea? Or the Autech 260 version?

[CEF11E]

tune the GTR so it does not smell so much problem solved.

mind you my wife will not let me have a GTR either. GTST FTW!!!

[Terminal]

I got in trouble from my missus from doing my manual conversion on my stagea. It's all done now, so she can start to calm down but there's so much more I need to do to the car. We just had a child, so I think the stagea is going to take a backseat to any spending in the family. Sometimes you just have to make sacrifices for the family.

However, her car is a turbo corolla, so she can't get angry at me for having a sports car, just spending too much money on it.

^^^ agreed

Or fit a cat that works, and tune it
