Default My Datsun GTR

I bought a massive jap beast a couple of weeks back and have literally spent every waking moment in it and a few asleep ones too !!


Take one shiny new Datsun, fill with loads of gallons of VPower and what do you get.




A VPower fuel shortage in Scotland, a fly 'bearded' GTR and an owner with an ear to ear grin that doesnt leave him even in his sleep.





I had to run her in for 1500 miles then take her to get serviced. I ended up taking her down to Middlhursts to get its optimisation service.




They are the home of UK Skyline, originally the only UK approved supplier of the R34s. Great bunch of guys, and great salesman too. Sold me a Y pipe within seconds of talking to me!! For those who dont know, the R35 has 4 individual catalytic converters and loads of mufflers. The Y pipe removes 2 cats and 1 muffler which makes Razzele a very very happy boy. Though now Im driving round every in 2nd gear!!

The underside looks pretty cool loads of carbon underneath- heres a few shot of mine.





They also said that Nismo had a kit out on the market-



Only 30grand !!!!

madness


Soz about the mobile phone picture quality

Awesome

Middlehurst is only a couple of miles down the road from me, I see the salesmen giving customers a blast down the bypass all of the time.

I might pop in and have a look

I now officially hate you

A turbo'd S now a GTR.

Spot on mate love it!

The greddy turbo S must feel poo now?, I've heard about the Y pipe apparently it makes it sound awesome but doesn't really add any power?.

BTW what you should do next is have a good drive in the GTR to the lakes, to you know *test it out* and accidently drive near me and let me have a go!
