Sure is.. was happy with today because the sun was finally out + wasn't raining.. meant I could atleast give it a bit of a go when I got it..

Hopefully weather will be decent i'll try and get some good photos and put them up..

already scraped the front bar on the driveway - was waiting for this - so might have to find the driveway from hell thread.. mines a beauty!

Goto also put some decent petrol in it.. but for the time being i'm happy - think it's got caltex in it..

only had it 5 mins when a blue VL turbo decided to have a go.. just cruised.. can't be bothered wasting my time - wanted to let it warm up.. lol - just smiled and kept goin

Didn't realise the front bar was quite that special - will have to take more care getting it up my driveway..

If you like the look of it, take very good care of it, they only offered that option for 1998 40th anniversary editions and only a few purchasers took the option. Most of the 40's have the standard Series 2 front bar.....

edit: I believe nissan called that trim level (with the GTR look alike spoilers) the GTS25t Type-MR. I have the Nissan brochure around here somewhere.... Not to be mistaken for the 280 Type-MR of course (2.8litre GTSt)......

edit2: someone with Nissan FAST software can confirm that :P

^^ Cheers for the info mate.. anything extra on what the 40th anniv cars had would be great!..

Just got home from driving - been taking it pretty easy, really want to give it a good service - + had the g/f in the car with me..

Went well, once again - front bar scraped a tiny bit.. so i'm going to have to work on entry.. took it at a good angle - fine getting out - just getting in that's a pain..

great car - love it.. goes weel - + it's so cold outside tonight & with jap radio (e.g. no radio) was just lovin listenin to it spool.. than release..

awesome ride..

time for sleep..

    • Yeah, you need to do it properly. You need to start out slow and gentle, ramping it up until they are good and hot, but not cooking, then roll off the other side (instead of letting them cool down quick).
    • I think yeah less hot fuel dumping into the top of the tank that wants to evaporate easily, fewer connections/hoses for permeation. Something like that. Also lower cost/easier production. Even my 2000 LS400/Celsior is a deadhead system. A single fuel hose to the fuel rails which have pulsation dampers attached and no return line.
    • I might do a few more high temp bed ins as described here.  I have a nice quiet 80kph road right near me.  How To Bed-In Your EBC Brakes For Street Or Track Use - EBC Brakes https://share.google/AjnOTILXoiqQnLu8p  
    • I did a few 80-0 stomps. I then just rode the brakes while I applied throttle for a while to get them nice and hot. I live on a big hill and have been down it a few times also with stomps and brake riding.
    • Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out
