Thanks everyone.
Here's a vid of me doing a grasskhana in it the other day. Was seriously wet, so speeds not high.

Wow, those cars look really clean without all the spoilers and intakes and whatnot. What all is done to the engine? I see it's got a new intake and manifold. Anything else? Is there a market for building those engines NA?
EDIT: That fire extinguisher is goofy as hell, man, get that outta there!
Same with those silver grilles. Looks like the guy who owned it before was a halfway ricer.
Its got extractors, pod filter (with an awesome induction note) and a aftermarket chip thingy. Previous owner still hasn't given me the list of mods yet.
Assuming you mean the silvergrills in the front bumper? Actually looks better in person and is a tidy job too.
Keeping the fire extingusher as it has to be there for track days etc, but am gonna look at carpeting the steel plates as they are ugly. And slippery in the wet. :s
Nice cars man. A little surprised that the new one is as quick as it is, but the automatic and AWD's weight have to slow the GTS-4 down a lot. How do they compare though?
Also, this is probably the only time I can say this (and I'm not putting your cars down): My Civic will beat your Skyline!
Yeah, GTS-4 will be over 1,500 kg's i'd say (heavier than the GT-R maybe?). And had a heck of a time trying to launch it as well since its auto. The brake torquey thing didn't work that well as could only build up the revs to about 2,400 or so - turbo kicks in fully at 3k. So took off and a second or two later the turbo kicks in. Should be good for high 15's otherwise i'd think.
Red one sounded quicker and felt quicker but wasn't.
Haha, i got beat by lots of cars that day. Like a Ferrari 599 GTB (best was a 12.20?), Audi R8, Corvette Z06 (C5), 997 911 GT3 RS etc etc. All against the clock though, no side by side runs.
Pics of the cars which were racing
You have always been talking about getting a non turbo, congrats 👍
Whats it like now for you with 2 doors less?
Cheers mate.
I love it ay. The much longer doors take a short while to get used to though.
That's just asking to be turdbo'ed.
And a GT-R rear spoiler or something, it just looks so empty. I think the whole "clean" look is a bunch of bs.
EDIT: That doesn't mean I don't like clean cars, I just don't get the whole "bald blob" look.
Nup, staying NA. Purely because of the exhaust note. And i want a NA Skyline.
I actually hate GT-R spoilers on non GT-R's. Almost as bad as the badge being on one. Generally though i agree with you. Both my Skylines came from the factory with no rear spoiler, but i was hoping to buy a coupe with the factory rear spoiler like that on my girlfriends GTS (pic below). Not gonna chuck one on the red car though as .... yeah. 👍
Looks nice and tidy, not messed around with. I trust you are saving up for your 3rd Skyline now?
Yup, the godzilla. 👍
The third brake light isn't standard is it? Can't say I can recall ever seeing a Skyline with it integrated into the boot before. Looks clean man.
PS What exactly is going on in the driver side floor? Ejector seat set up?
Brake light in boot is aftermarket (a damn tidy job too). Got heaps of attention and adoration when the previous owner revealed it to others in the car club (Skylines Down Under).
Switch on the left is for the electric fan as factory fan has been removed (along with air conditioning) and the right one is for the little spotlights behind the silver grill in the front bumper. Want to get them relocated though as don't like them there. And may get electric fan hooked up to a thermostat so i don't keep forgetting to turn it on.
