Congrats on the purchase.

for those wanting to know, the 2011 GTR is still a ways off but will have 15-30hp more, revised aero for more downforce, revised front bar, revised rear diffuser, tweaked suspension. There will be (in Japan at least) another trim level above Premium with many options available such as the ability to option interior colours (not just black or white) and even option on parts from the SpecV range. It will not be called the SpecM as previously thought it has not been given a name yet.

The SpecV goes away next year as it becomes obsolete with all the changes in the base GT-R, and it's possible that the base 2011 GT-R will gain the power upgrade by making the 2010 SpecV turbos standard across the range.

Don't you dare show my girlfriend that!  :D

No but I still wouldnt buy that. 1. cant drive that knowing it 'aint a f430

                                            2. Its over 10 years old

                                            3. service costs and parts and insurance!

But still...its a 'ferrari pal!'  haha

Well... I bought the car. I pick it up in about 3 weeks. Excited but also nervous.

Thanks again for your advice guys. 

Ill post again when I pick it up Domino.

you will love it mate. basically any car that costs more than a corolla is a waste of money as a corolla gets you from a-b in safety and comfort affordably. but the thing is cars aren't about money. like I said anything above a corolla is basically an emotional choice. so whether is a $50K monaro or a $400K 911 Turbo we do it because whatever the car is hits a button in us somewhere. enjoy it. :D

it's your money mate, only you can justify the purchase

im in similar situation with the gf etc

as long as i have my houses under control, i dont mind making such a big purchase

go for it, and enjoy it, it's a great car.... constantly scraping the long front overhang excluded natch

im in melb, shoot me a pm when you pick the car up, my mates and i are always organising drives up to kinglake, toolangi, mt donna buang etc

hay mate do u know a guy named jordan, drives a bmw coupe?

Awesome philosophy. I agree 100%

Agreed. But to answer the question...I'm a pharmacist.

Just picked up a white one last Monday. Now for the gruelling 2000k run in!

congratulations.

that run in period should be just about enough time to order and receive a COBB access port and midpipe if you get on and order one now. ;)

Would love to get those things but to find an installer and tuner in victoria?  :)

Who can I trust with my 35 in Vic?

    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
