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 can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
