Hey,

You don't happen to live in Bayside do you?

If so, I know where you live (not in a stalkish way!) and I pass your house sometimes on the way to work.

My god it's the best GT-R I've seen in a while... It takes me an extra 5 minutes to get to work!

change the $ to GBP (pounds) and you're about on the money - they were low-mid $2000 - which i think is about equivalent to what Mines want for their uprights

:blink: yeah I have optimistic memory. but yeah you're right over $2K even with half decent exchange rate. but they are complex pieces for for real deal dry carbon it's on the money. the quality is top level.

awwwrrrhhhhhhsaskldjalf

that's a BEAUTIFUL GTR ..!

I want one :rofl2:

Stupid P regulations

Is it really the P plate restrictions? Or more the fact that you can't cough up $60k+ at the age of 20 for a car like that? :P

Much to my disgust, i have seen P Plates driving (and owning) $60k+ cars. However I'm yet to see one in a $100k car which is what a Nur-Spec is more likely to set you back :)

Long gone are the days of the $1000 Corona Station Wagon as a first car.

I'm not jealous >_>

BTW, hot car. And by hot I mean "Megan Fox and Scarlett Johansen in a girl on girl scene with Jessica Beil watching on and touching herself" hot.

That is a very awesome gtr mate!!!

awesome find!!

its sad to hear the guy who brought your GTT nailed it in front of you man! :spank:

i think the LMs make alot of 34 gtrs, so i dont agree with a earlier post about the wheels not matching.

great work mate

thanks for the comments :) -

it's been interesting to see the reaction the car gets out on the road, and when parked, etc. people will take pictures and walk across the street/road to have a good look.

The best reaction though is from little kids, i'm amazed that some single digit aged kids know what it is - some just see some low thing, with black wheels and a big spoiler and go 'wohh....' :D

well, i spent a lot of money on the GTT to be able to handle a spirited drive, whilst i wasn't really like that on the road, i certainly had fun at the track. The new owner has just switched to E85 and enjoying it of course :) His tuner has checked it out and of course, Trent's tunes are on the money :) i know the engine will be able to handle the new owner, time will tell if everything else will hold up, especially if it's being drifted

congrats on the purchase a truely awsome car build by one of the best track workshops.

going to a deserving owner. I remember when you got you gtt. what a long time ago.

cheers

6 years on I still miss my ceffy

Edited by meggala

meggala!!!!!! blast from the m..f.. past!!!! how are you!?

you had some nice cars, you had a SR20DET R32 as well didn't ya? you were one of the original importers from memory, way back in the day, one of the few good sources of info! :thumbsup:

yeah, the GTT acquisition was a while ago, i do miss it :( lots of fond memories of that car....

Midori definitely seem to know their stuff, their R34 time attack car definitely mixed it (and at times beat) the big boys, and there's definitely some cool things going on (especially the suspension work) Unfortunately the driver skill level isn't quite up to the cars ability, hopefully one day :happy:

i thought someone had signed up with a very similar username, didn't think it would have been the original! welcome back!

thanks for the kind words though, much appreciated :)

just stumbled across this man, i remember talkin to ya at the show and shine before last and u were thinking of selling and i gotta say damn good choice on the GTR man its porn..

i binned the purple gtr, i got a silver 33 gtr im currently building.. hopefully seeya phillip island one day :D

    • Thanks for all the replies fellas. Gonna finish putting it back together and see how it handles the set up. If it starts pinging it’ll be parked.
    • Well, I can recommend the partial AV system translation CD I ordered from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. Whilst it didn't address the date issue, it has conveniently translated on-screen menu items into English, and now allows the GPS-received time to be offset in hours rather than minutes, so I can display Eastern Australian time accurately ( and bump it by another hour when daylight savings starts ).
    • Yuh, if it's 45°C outside, my car is driving in it.
    • I'd be curious to hear more. Otherwise, have you driven a modern x-trail? I wonder how it compares. Here in Australia they are/were popular for rentals and fleet vehicles. I have been in some and my impression was they are bad. But, this may have been very different in the 2000s at a good trim level. Twenty years is plenty of time to make the model worse. I do very much agree with the 2 silver cars in the garage approach. But, not driving because it's too hot would not leave a lot of time in the year for many Australians. I don't think you need to worry too much unless the car has actual issues with overheating. 
    • Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.
