First ride in an R this weekend.

[Lavers]

Can't wait till this weekend its the school ball and I get to go for my first ride in a GTR.

Just wondered what everyone else thought after their first taste.

Its got alot to live up to after two years of waiting.

Cheers Lavers.

First time I rode in a GTR, twas a 12 flat second GTR.. and it feels so nice being stuck to the back of the seat...

[Lavers]

Yeah my old mans mate from work has the GTR its owned by Jason Dann and apparantly has Motec engine management and a fair few other mods and has been detuned to 500 HP.

Everyday street spec.

After riding in Jim Richards' porsche from Targa this year it should be a good comparison.

Can't wait Lavers

hmm damiens 12sec GTR is taking someone to the ball (i am assuming this is the st pats ball?). he ain't driving though cos he is sick!!!

is jason's gtr the dark blue with carbon bonnet and simmons?

My first experience in a gtr was quite the opposite and sort of anti-climax. I found out later the car was a dud. My next ride in another mates GTR was very exciting for a fairly stock car. I've driven both 996 & 993 twin turbo's, and honestly the GTR "with mods" kills them both, performance wise. Luxury is another story, porsches have a unique handling characteristic to any other car, so does the GTR and you realise the GTR is what it is, not just for it's straightline performance but it's cornering ability and most of all reputaion and $ for $ value.

Yeh, Damo's is damn nice, and so is the blue 33R. GTR's just have a feel to them, once you've been in one you're hooked.

[PHaT MR30]

and the noise they make, is just totally amazing.. take damo's with the twin apexi mufflers, sounds awesome, and they have this sorta gear meshing noise (hard to describe) which makes them sound more like a race car with a dog box, than ya mums shopping trolley

[Lavers]

Yeah this is the St. Pats ball. The GTR is a white R33 and the guy who owns it also owns the restuarant Peckish out near Meadow Mews, looks the Goods. Who's this Damien who has a gtr I've ever seen him around before, any pics.

Cheers Lavers.

[phat_r33]

I'll post up some pics for you on the weekend, he lives in hobart but comes up most weekends. Australian release 32R. Very nice.

Yeh I know the car. Not bad, you wont be dissapointed.

[PHaT MR30]

yeh apparently that car of jasons has alot more work than what appears

[Lavers]

Yeah real sleeper.

Any suggestions as to what I should get him to say thanks cause he's doing it for free as a favour?

Cheers Lavers

[phat_r33]

Standard thing would be a carton. Thats all I ask. Pretty reasonable for both sides IMO.

That GTR is from Burnie, used to belong to the owner of AJL mechanical services. Rumoured to be pushing round 500HP.

a dud ... ? explain was is passed of as one :confused:

[Morgs]

The first time I was ever in a GTR, was driving a R34 GTR owned by a caryard my friend worked in. Oh how tough that was This was back in 2000/1 when you could count the number of 34 GTRs in Sydney on 1 hand......

It was a real GTR, I meant the car had been to hell and back.

yeah but drives it like he is driving a excel....he dosn't push it at all, and it sounds so quiet, for 500HP! a real sleeper GTR:headspin:

[Lavers]

The GTR was absolutely awesome. Just the feel of the turbo kicking in a 4000 rpm and pushing u into the seat was amazing. Jason was a top bloke gave it everything a couple of times even did a launch at 6000 rpm. I didn't get to see Pauls line but apparantly you put on a good show at the lights. The guy who sat in the back of your car was absolutely sh1tt1n himself, calling the craziest mutha F***a he has ever met. Apart from that the ball was average and couldn't go to the after ball because of the rain.
