Damn, nice GTR!
thanks, i love it!

congrats ! nice car
:beer:

nice! congrats :beer:
thanks Steve! Keep me updated on the wheels

Nice dude. Good luck with it.
i appreciate it bud!

Congrats man, I don't think I have seen one around here in white
pearl white with black interior is a pretty rare color combo.....hell, they're all pretty rare when you really consider how many were even sold in the states. thanks bud!

Congrats Tony! Will just picked one up too as I'm sure you know. He's already ordering parts for it too. LOL.
yeah we were talking all day yesterday, pretty pumped to check each other's out in a few weeks at TX2k12

Looks great man!
:rockon:

Very nice OP ..Congrats and I'm sure you won't miss too much your ex KB / E85 cobra ...BTW I'm sure you know this cars stock twins + bolt ons + E85 are capable of 135-137 traps very consistently .. gotta love this cars ..here's my buddy down here in Florida Paul ( one of the fastest on the nation STOCK TWINS TURBOS) ... : pdv25 10.09@137mph - YouTube
yeah, low 10's is fine by me....not looking to do E85 with this car but i should get similar results from my MS109 tune

Sweet car man, congrats. I was actually looking for your gopro footage of the cobra to show my friend the other day haha. Can you link me to it?

Also, random question but did you have an external mic attached? I just got the hero 2 and audio ain't that great with the open back. Or did you just use the closed back case for your vid?
check my youtube channel thelthlvnm
the camera is a Drift HD by Drift Innovation, not those silly outdated GoPro's. Hollar at me if you're interested in picking one up, i'm a dealer :rockon:

That is one very tastefully modded GTR. You are going to be grinning for a straight month after you get it delivered. You know what looks best on white?.......carbon fiber. Don't be shy!
i already can't sleep waiting on the truck to show up with it! I'm going to be an Xpel Paint Protection dealer/installer and during the training class they're allowing me to use the GTR as my training platform so it's getting a FULL wrap with their clear ultimate film with some carbon accents :rockon:

Nice upgrade.
thank you

Sick car. Looks awesome white
yes sir, i'm pumped!

Very cool! Congrats
:beer:

Look at your car now look at his car now look at your car now look at his.

That's why.
That's one serious upgrade, OP. Sweet car.
damn, burn! thanks dooood!

sick choice but dont these things have glass like trans?
no sir, just maintain it and don't drive like an idiot....kind of like the cobra IRS, lift if you hop, but that goes for most vehicle's drivetrains

Freaking awesome! I'm glad you found one so soon. It also comes with nice tasteful mods. I can only imagine what you're going to do with this thing!! Have fun and keep us updated!
me too! this one came out of NO WHERE! i'll definitely update ya'll, SVTP was my first home....though there are plenty of Nissan haters here :burnout:

thanks scott! i'm looking forward to seeing your finished project

Me too! All the parts are either here or on the way but still waiting on the engine. Not looking good for TX2K unfortunately. I was really looking forward to showing that GTR what's up too! LOL

Just delaying the inevitable...you're gonna drag me silly!

Btw, the guy who bought my cobra has vowed to not lose to a Datsun and he lives here in Houston so this should be fun...stay tuned

My friend was just looking at them and used around here stock they go for $70-$85k. I figured with the mods it was more then normal.

That's probably why they aren't selling....you can find them for $50k to low-$60k's for NICE used ones.

i already can't sleep waiting on the truck to show up with it! I'm going to be an Xpel Paint Protection dealer/installer and during the training class they're allowing me to use the GTR as my training platform so it's getting a FULL wrap with their clear ultimate film with some carbon accents :rockon:

Nice upgrade! I've been looking at them also. Looking forward to your review and opinion after you've had it for some time...



If you don't mind, where did you buy it from?

I hope not from Chicago Motor Cars...

Well i guess he & I both thought the same thing, that you were anti-GTR...
The versatility of this car is unmatched, I love everything about it, and it's a new/different/fresh platform for me to explore & enjoy

Awesome upgrade IMO! We had a white one here in the showroom for a while and it looked fantastic. I'd love to be able to own one someday.
