Baron 25, Yeh thats why I would like to look at getting the original bar, as it would add that icing on the cake!

MP_R33, its one of the cars for sure that you either love it or hate it!!

Found out the GTR is not a VSpec, but a special edition Veilside Built GTR.It has the Evolution WideBody Kit, Veilside Exhaust,Veilside Strut Brace and Veilside ECU, Brembos and Nismo LMGT 1 18" Wheels.

Pretty good find I reckon:)

shame it's missing the veilside andrew wheels and the veilside front bar. cars like that are really only worth something serious if they are original. but providing the bodywork underneath the kit is ok it would still be worth as much as a nice clean 32 GTR which is good. I just hope you didn't pay a premium for it.

it certainly is *cough 'different' looking.....

personally though if we are talking veilside GTRs I would only want one of their nicer widebody 32s, or maybe their drag car. some piscs from last time I was there. There is a pic of your kit too (well what it should look like). I took these pics last time I was at veilide in japan. they have probably a dozen or more wide body 32s lying around the place, some just rotting away outside in the back carpark...

this is the one to get really. much nicer wide guards rather than the garish stick on flares they used on the other version.

check out the size and offset of the wheels they fit to the full widebody 32s.... nice.

WOW, that yellow GTR is crazy!! Couldnt agree with your more that they are a better look than the one I picked up, but cant be too fussy now can we:)

Will be looking to source and original front bar to finish it off,I know they are very "cough" different looking, but it looks so much better in the flesh:)

Will post pics up on the weekend after I have spent a few days going over it from top to bottom, and as far as price goes, you wouldnt believe how much I pciked it up for;) The market is crazy at the moment!!

yeah, don't get me wrong. they are still cool. :banana: just not really to my taste.

I'm sure you will love it mate, and no doubt it's different from the other masses of GTR. I would definately get the front bar and the wheels to make it sort of complete again.

veilsides shop in japan is awesome and they have some super cool cars there. a friend of mine bought 2 of their FDs that they made for the tokyo drift fast and furious movie. now they were cool!

Oh Shit, that be sweet:)

Yeh I will definately be looking to finish of the package and turn this thing into a great daily driver, power reliability and, I was going to say great looks, but how about we agree with different look!!

I actually really like it and its growing on me more and more, but i also totally get its not everyones cup of tea:)

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
