...got DIDDY DURTY MONEY?!?!

i don't mean "normal" money... i mean diddy DURTY money.

THIS CAR however goes up for auction Wednesday... and i won't lie it's pretty much EXACTLY how i would style a car.. white body. BBS RG GMG rims... mmmmmm :wub:

for compliance you'd prob need to swap bonnet n seat over.. someone could lend you theirs :) but that car is boooodiful

It looks very VIP for a GT-R which is supposed to be the exact opposite, its not bad but I probably wouldn't do it to mine.

In my opinion there are very few kits that actually make a car look better, and they are usually Factory options or a closely related tuning house.

Unless your talking about those soarers which look x 10 better with that kit.

omfg that black one, only if i had an extra 50k lol

if it was a GTT i wouldnt mind having it like that white on with doluck kit. its doluck wing and kit right?

but like the standard front bar and only would consider any other if it was either the optional nismo front bar or ztune one :)

....white GTT ...are you talking about woody's old EastBear GTS-R???

:/

either way... a gtr will come up eventually - i guess if anything that's working against your favour is that ... right now in 2011.. it tends to get to slim pickings...

in that most cars are over 10 years old... when a car gets 10 years old in japan - it sorts out ownership from the men and the boys...

many owners will sell their cars as they come up for ten years of age because too much headache to own with the tighter shaken, and they get bought up by generally more hardcore enthusiasts...

being that most cars have been "gotten rid of" by now... their popularity in sale goes down a smidge...

go have a look and see how many 2001 Z40 soarers are being auctioned off right NOW it's crazy.

this time 1/2 years ago there was HEAPS of GTR's being bought n sold ... that will have slowed down a little bit..

...but - put it this way... there are millions and millions of people in japan. and millions of them drive cars... millions drive Nissans

thousands drive skylines

hundreds drive skyline GTRs... and of those hundreds of people.. every week.. about 15 of those people will sell their GTRs...

...and of that 15... a handfull will be sold at a USS auction house...

...and of that handful... will be your PERFECT GTR that you always dreamed of..

it may take a while for that one to come up... but this time next year - you will read this post...

...look down at your hand and see the "R" key...

go outside... and start the car.. you'll get that tingle down your spine.. a smile will come across your face as you let out a sigh of releif

...as you pop a boner.

71 model.. needs repairs and a lick of paint but still going.

GTRs go for whatever people are wiling to pay. look at the 32gtr. the ADMs are still going for 45K+..

guys

...you don't reckon...

http://japaneseusedcars.com/auction/allday/detail_toyota-AuctionNo-HUT10178.html

do you????

seems kind of ominous that number 5 just came out...

do you reckon it's the real thing? i wouldn't be suprised if it'd bee imported into japan

well the first movie came out ten years ago so it is possible that colours may have faded, or even had a respray... besides... how can you EVEN tell that the colour is different..

like - between seeing a movie released ten years ago, and seeing a dodgy grainy japanese auction house picture in a shed under fluro lights... how can you tell if the colours are different? i am reporting your post and calling for your banning.

admittedly...

it didn't have the carbon bonnet before but as i said, it is possible that they may have changed the bonnet...

i dunno - my jury's out.. but still... looks interesting?

i mean - you look at how much YOUR car has changed in the last 6 months..

imagine that process over ten years...

The wing is wrong too dude.... It looks like a replica.

The movie car was a targa top was it not....

It looks as though that one isn't although I may be mistaken.

My car hasnt changed in the last 6 months, except the turbo oil seals blew out. Lol.

you know why that is though rait?

BCOZ ITZ A NSN!

and yes you're right - movie car is a targa

but at the end it's a hard top

don't beleive me? go watch the fkn movie.

shit even if you DO beleive me go watch the fkn movie - it's excellent

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
