OP, as a GTR owner that was a fun read! Saving up my pennies for a AMS Alpha 10 kit. That is about as fast as you can safely go in the street IMO and stay out of increased turbo lag range..


Just installed some custom Daytime running lights:

Very nice ride, man. I've loved the Skyline series since I was but a babe lol.

I'm assuming you're the same Vega with the drool worthy monster PC rigs?

I used to be friends with a rich kid some time back. His dad owned a skyline that he had imported from some foreign place. I never drove it, but yes i once rode alongside my friend and i gotta admit, it was a pretty exhilarating experience.

Also nice writing skills OP, you managed to capture the audiences' attention quite good. Are you a writer by any chance?

Thanks guys, its a fun car to drive! Yes I am the one with the monster PC's. ;)

I have three of the new BenQ Xl2420TE zero-PWM 144 Hz monitors inbound and will post my thoughts on them with my 4x Titan rig.

This one has a $29K upgrade, but "only" has 800HP. But I guess a lot of the $ was for the CF, tires, etc.
Thing sounds like a Formula 1 car.

Yes, the GTR can sound REALLY good with a proper exhaust. People freak out when they hear mine in a tunnel or under a large bridge/overpass. (I have full titanium exhaust down-pipes back).

Nissan put way too quiet of a stock exhaust on there.

I have a work colleague with a GTR too!...we were at a conf last year and went for a spin after dark on the highway...He too stopped to change some settings and said to get the stop watch out.....zero to 200kph back to zero in 15 sec...

LOL, i tried to keep my hands on the reading and near enough to 15 sec was true...
Damn fast off t6he mark, but I didnt like the car in town, it felt like it was crabbing at time due to the full time AWD and wide tires...Have some photos of it somewhere on my phone, ill dig them out...


Edit-Here they are, was Nov 2010, so this is an older model, the guy with black jacket and glasses you see on the right on the rear view is the owner.....cost him his GF to buy it...LMAO....oh and the mortgage on his house....
