Actually just spoke the guy who bought this r34 off me and he is having to sell it to fund his house purchase

Nothing worse than a wannabe though , if you want a GTR, save up and buy one , making a GTT look like one is lame but mine did have Nismo bumpers and skirts which were a factory option Some people prefer the rwd ones for real world driving , they feel a bit livelier imo

in 100,000miles pretty much everything wont be as good as it once was

Sold mine back in November , got £9600 for it and it was tiptronic so well loved examples do fetch good money. Mine was pretty much as it left the showroom , a nice lot of options ticked and just a set of rotas and some lowering springs Mine was stage one and ran about 300-320hp or so , returned 23mpg on a run and was a great car . The tiptronics are fab very underrated by those that have driven a few Skylines but some just dont like autos hence they are cheaper. Was quicker than my 350z HR but the 370 is a little quicker , neither feel anywhere near as fast thanks to the turbo shove of the Skyline but the handling isnt a patch on the zed, you need your wits about you The GTT has the RB25neo which imo is the best RB engine Nissan ever made , unlike the RB26 the RB25 was continually developed and improved , the neo uses a few RB26 parts like rod and crank and is a strong motor Parts are easily available and worst scenario is a 2 week or so wait from Japan. Trim stuff is getting harder to source though But these are 15 years old or so

You don't need to remove the seats, access is via the boot there is an inspection cover on the rhs, it's a messy stinky job, best done when the tank to empty or close go empty

W210's aren't the rot for a pastime , bought mine new in 2001 , it was rotten as a pear by 2009 and had already had new wings and lots of repairs under warranty by then

You might have trouble fitting the seat in the back of a R33 , the seat belts are a bit short, you may need to get an extender

Pedal, belts, carpets, wheel all show wear as well

Cars are trimmed prior to going to auction in Japan so import docs are no guarantee of true miles Skylines don't show their miles either on the 33 the seats, wheel and trim often look good well over 100k But as I said buy a well loved example every time , I've seen plenty of sub 50k sheds

You should buy Skylines on condition not miles anyhow so don't worry about it, the sad truth is the mileage was probably altered back in Japan prior to export anyhow But you are right the mot places will usually note as miles not km as that's what they normally deal with

The auto is also longer geared for cruising so is nicer on motorways, it's geared for 226mph in 7th at 7500rpm iirc ! Some of the USA chaps fit the final drive from the manual to help acceleration

Yes and no it's an electronic tiptronic box not a basic "slush" box , and I have a 7 speed dsg on my daily and the 370's auto is better in a number of ways . Many car makers are ditching dsg boxes and going back to conventional autos. Dsg boxes are complicated and can be troublesome It's a preference thing , some prefer autos and some manuals , personally I find the manual box, dmf/clutch arrangement on the zeds agricultural , not pleasant at all in traffic

Autotorque , Aylesbury ?

Thought I'd update this thread for **** and giggles Traded my 350 back in December to a Nissan Dealer for a '12 370 GT Edition 7 a/t You will all be glad to know its rubbish , not Absolutely loving it , most of the niggles that I felt the 350 had have been addressed imo, the 7 speed auto is great , as good as my 7 speed DSG in my daily , premium connect is awesome , everything I want from ICE, the handling and brakes are better, the road noise is less but that could be because its an "Edition" Downsides are even less visibility (thank god for the camera), seats not as comfy and quite how Nissan managed to make a car this big with so little storage space beats me but its not an issue for what i use it for. and fwiw it seems to do about 24.5mpg so happy days

It was last night , it's the third Tues every month from about 730 until the chavs in Civics annoy everyone

Why not pop it up to Jez at H dev just off junction 13 M4

It's a GT car at the end of the day , but in comparison I drove a gt86 and was unimpressed , you need to spank it to get it to go and even then they are pretty slow.

That's the synchro rev on/off on the manual Yep that right

On an 03 jdm it's the button closest The driver by the heated seat switches Thought we were talking about 370s considering the forum

The snow mode button is in front of the gear lever opposite the hazard switch
