I'm without my car for a couple of weeks while I have some work done on it.

I've been loaned a Nissan Skyline by a friend to help me out, which is a bit of a result!

I've only driven it 10 miles home so far, and am trying to keep the miles off it as I don't want to abuse a favour, but its a nice car. It has just been imported from Japan and is in mint condition and up for sale.

Its not the V-Spec GTR type I've been used to driving for years on my Playstation, but its a 1994 R33 GTS 2.5T and its no slouch[].

250bhp. Full spec here - http://www.skylinegts.co.uk/R33_spec.htm Car isn't as heavy as I thought it would be.

Lovely cars [] Very smooth and that FR layout is a riot!

 

[andymac]

Not as quick as I thought though maybe I need to look at the in gear speed PS how much would that cost?

 

[vedhead]

You can get a minted one of those for about 5k to 6k. They dont have any of the tricks the R33 GTR has but as a fun and reliable car they are pretty good fun. Thats just a very standard looking one but with a few thousand thrown it it professionally you can have a beautiful looking and sub 6 second rocket.

Ah this is the car;

For sale @ ?5,495[]

Nice car, I thought it would be faster also. That stats page makes it seem less than special.

I hope your pleased with the results James.

Nice loaner [!] Not your usual 1.0 Micra or 1.2 Polo is it.

Quite a lot [] I'm going to keep schtumm on the detail for now as I expect it will generate a bit of interest and that will be responded to better in its own thread, once I am sure everything works OK.

Suffice to say I'm taking it up a few notches and hope it will be pretty special. We're trying a few new things which will be of interest to anyone with a tuned PD car.[]

Gave the car a good wash, quick clay session and quick Swissol session;

When the Anni's finished can I pop back for another 'ride round the block'......?[]

Yessir you can get behind the wheel and I'll be the one with the white knuckles![]
