Really clean....needs a new steering wheel, as the leather/vinyl has started to come away..

Otherwise - seems true to the kays -and has been with the same owner for 11 yrs and 60000kms..

The plenum still has all its paint..

Couple of rust patches - one under the spare, and one on each side of the front window sill, but appears to be surface only - and I'll get treated straight away.

Only variation from stock - cruise control...!! driven by old blokes..!!

Very beautiful car mate!

Are you planning on keeping her stock or start the process of upgrades??

At this stage - I'll leave it be.

It has a button clutch in it at the moment, which I'm not sure I want to live with - as I have a very steep driveway at home.

I think I'll keep it as an investment - see what the values do as it approaches 25yrs - I don't reckon there would be many stock ones around.

I'll still drive it though - but mostly for coffee runs up the mountains around here.

Its a lot of money for me - so the idea of thrashing it on a track doesn't necessarily appeal either.

Yes, it's very tempting to start making little mods here and there, but it's a bottomless pit once you start! Ive done and am doing a few to my R33 GTS-T, however, to be honest if I had a GTR I wouldn't touch the motor/turbo etc. They came from the factory w/ more then enough for your average driver and ability to use on public roads.

I would have to upgrade the alloys though to at least 18" and after market springs - just so the wheels fill out the arches!

Enjoy your machine mate :)

      Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost

      Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
