You went from the R34 Skyline...to a French mobile !!!
Are you mad ?!!!!? Are you bonkers ?!!!?
Lol these are pretty good, a very understated car.
Are you planning on keeping it standard ?

Nope, lets look at a supercharger and the TWR heads and cams. Est about 350bhp max at the rear wheels in a car that weighs just over 1000kg.
I am joinging the long Nissan waiting list - if you get what I mean!

I think that's lovely Nik, just superb. I can fully understand the change, there is plenty of automotive life after a GTR.........
Nice plate and I'm sure the driving experience is a lot more communicative than your other Regie :-D

Ah ha, get what you mean !!!
Seriously though its a nice car.
Very rare, I have never seen one of these close up so would be good to have a look at the next meet.

There is life after the Skyline GTR - but what??????????
This is not going to be a long term ownership for me, I just wanted a mental car that is mid engined and no forced induction. It will make me appriciate more the replacement in 18 months time.
We are all so spoiled by the handling and road presence a GTR gives and once accepted, then there is no good 100% replacement - just 2nd bests (IMHO) - this is not taking anything away from any other car marks, but I have to admit, the R34 GTR v-spec is the best car I have EVER owned and I feel very luck to have done so.

Very nice - initially I was shocked at the change - but do understand the reason - nice choice and nice that it's not silver !!!
