  • A few pics of the deeper red colour when the sun is down, brothers in arms.

  • Right.   I gave myself a good talking to and popped out for a little bonding with the new car.   Holy moley it's even more bonkers than I remember the last ones being. Yes, they have worked a lot

Brilliant! Yep love the Tesco carpark shot too.

When's the window film coming off?

When's the window film coming off?

I keep forgetting.

It's on the list for tomorrow as I'm using the car for pretty much all my driving now.

So it's around all day.

Makes a change from the LEAF.

I'll be in a petrol station filling it up every two days!

Window film is stuck on tight... I expect it's going to be a (very) hot air gun and a lot of hassle.

And lots of glue/tar remover. It's an evil job, wish I'd paid someone to remove mine and de glue the glass!

Note to self... Check price for replacement rear screen. ;)

Thanks for the comments guys.

 

Have done about 80 miles in the Skyline.

It's hilarious, there are not enough words to describe it in full.

 

You have to drive it.

It has a bit of lag, it's old, it grips like almost nothing else and I keep realise I'm giggling to myself while driving, like when dropping a gear to find boost or hoofing it round a corner.

 

Well go on then, if I must......

There was one in your colour on 5th gear Monday night!

  • Author

That was an MY13 in the not metallic red.

Close though. :)

The metallic with gold flake is a new colour for this "season".

Edit: Was thinking of Top Gear.

Missed 5th gear...

Ehm .. Daft GTR plate suggestion:
G7RFX (short for GTR-Fox)?

Far fetched perhaps :giggle:

Nice idea, think I've got enough daft plates already though... :D

6 at last count if you stick to ones that are dateless or clearly read something!

Going leave the new one on a 14 while I work out if I want to put a "vanity plate" on it. :)

Sure sign my hobby has got out of control.

I really enjoy following your threads, exactly what I would've done. an OEM look with plenty of grunt is the way forward.

 

Looks amazing as ever, I'd love to see it in the flesh!!

 

Does look rather sexy in the flesh!! YUM!!  :love:

Ahh I'm jealous!

As long as the transporter turns up at Nissan tomorrow it should be OK for a Friday collection.

Not counting my chickens yet! :D

Sounds wrong, but buying so many vehicles at work has kind of worn the novelty off. :(

Also just found out the vibration in my R32 over 84mph is due to two bent passenger side rims... Probably from the last owner or potholes on the A12.

Hey Ho!

Got to sort something out for the track day on Monday, sense an emergency purchase coming on. :(

Big surprise, no new GT-R has arrived as planned at the Nissan dealer...

They given you any indication when it should be in now?

Nope, they've probably lost it and are trying to find it.

Land Rover once lost my Defender for a week when it got left off a lorry that should have delivered it to the dealership.

After a while they found it sitting in a corner of the loading park.

Good job I don't take things too seriously. :D

The good news is you won't be tempted to bring a 3 day old car round brands hatch :D

I think tracking it before the 1200 mile "optimisation" would void about three years of warranty. :D

If else failed you know I'd just bring the Yeti...

Well after watching the how they're built video they get abused straight from the factory on that little nissan track!

That's true. Will be nice to see it once you pick it up. The colour looks brilliant

I think the word you were looking for is "tested". :giggle:

The R32 looks great Richard, I do like the wheels they make the car, fingers crossed you can get them straightened be a shame to loose them.

To be honest Mike if I can't salvage the two on it I'll have to buy replacements.

Like you I think they really set the car off so I'm only getting another set of cheapies while I get these sorted. :)
