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?

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
