sami, guess what?

I joined your club. That car is awesome.

Black 1990 GTR, it looks brand new, only 33k on the clock. I swear this car drives like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Right now it has about 380hp, which is only a matter of time before that goes up. Brand new clutch, turbos, about 10k in receipts. I can not wait to bring it back to the states.

if i were you i'd stay at a constant 400 flywheel hp, i wouldn't want to go up too 600 or over i mean 400 is fine for me and with big huge turbos spool up takes a while and with my t25's it take's just a few minutes and i'm ready to go by the way my turbo's were updated and my internal's were balanced and blueprinted on my r34 that's why the dial up is 400 now my 400r come's with the internal's worked on already so i really didn't have to worry about hey skylineusa have i seen you at gtr.co.uk in the forum's i'm pretty sure since someother dude has your username and has a mustang and live's in england too.

Congrats on the purchase Sky...you will never regret it I swear! The 32 is the lightest and is in fact the real Godzilla. Looks good too...and unlike the 33 or 34, the 32's tail could be easily coaxed into snapping...enjoy your drifting mate...

Evo,

I plan on keeping the HP street friendly. I have the Mustang for those 1/4 mile runs, not to mention it a lot cheaper to buy parts for the Stang.

R33,

You have no idea how impressed I am about this car. Like sami mentioned, the quality in the GTRs are out of this world. And you are right I will not regret it. I am just mad at myself for taking this long to purchase one, but in the same breath I would not have this one if I had not waited. For as pld as this car is, it is in awesome shape. I you look down the sides of this car it is as straight as a mirror.

R34,

Pics will be on the way,

Mrsky,

I would hate to be you. Having to wait to drive your car must be very painfull.

Congratulations! Finally, I would say.

So it looks like you like the car. So when I say you have to drive one to appreciate it truely, would I be correct? The reason why I am asking is all the people who are so eager to criticize GT-R just by looking at numbers and yet have never driven one. I've always said to go and drive one and then get back to me.

What all is done to it? What turbos? When are you coming back to States?

I don't have to go back for a while mid '05, but more than likely yes we will. Right now the car has brand new GTR R34 turbos on it, boost controller, new clutch, clarion sound system, security system that you have to plug in two keys into the dash before you can put your key into the car to start it, extra set of 3 peice race rims valued at $1500, a lo-jac, exuast upgrade, and suspension upgrades.

HICAS light comes on long trips, does yours?

Here is a few pics.
