Hi Guys,

I bought a MY12 on Friday in Sydney and drove it home overnight to Qld. Gun Metal Grey colour with 3400km in showroom condition. I have already bought a Willall midpipe and will have that installed when I get my safety inspection done this week for Qld registration.

I had been searching for a black one for months but settled for this grey one.....great news is I reckon it's the best colour of all now :) I'm very impressed with the overall performance so far but looking to up the ante a bit of course!!! All I can say is that I LOVE that launch control lol !!!!

I owned a highly modded R33 a few years back but overall it was a bit of a horror story for me with carjackings and blown engines etc, so now looking for a fresh and positive new start to GTR ownership :)

I have a heap of newbie questions so hope you guys can be patient with me while I get a grasp on this new beast that I own!!!!

Mark.

Mark, looks fantastic.. I like the Gun Metal Grey, that and the Blue are my two favourite colours for the GTR.. Would have been fun having that Drive Back to stretch its legs.. I have family in Maleny who i visit regularly , might see you on the road around Sunshine Coast..

Cheers.. Mike..

I've only ever seen 1 R35 on the Sunshine Coast cruising down Hastings St but have 4 separate sightings out Maleny way. I travel out west through Maleny every Thursday and have seen 3 down in Landsborough and there was one in the main St in Maleny a few weeks back. It must be all the nice roads out that way!! I'm always up for a cruise too......

That was that the one on carsales in sydney. How much did you end up paying for it?

I paid 161k and just looked tonight and there's another listed in Vic.....same colour,same year, EXACTLY the same kms but is listed at 159.5k. Serves me right for getting back on Carsales after I already bought one lol.

I was actually negotiating with Suttons @ Chullora on the black my12 that's listed. It was listed at $165,900 and we were negotiating from there. I thought for sure I had it as they even took my cc for a deposit. Next thing I get a call and they tell me they are putting the price up!!! I checked that night and the ad had been updated....kms jumped from 3000 to 6000 and the price jumped all the way up to 172,900. No idea wtf is the go with that???? Anyway the very next day I was booking flights to Sydney to buy my grey one and now very happy that it worked out that way :)

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
