Gday guys - GP-R owner in Japan
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2008 2:55 am
Gday all, just joined up and thought Id drop a line in the n00bs section.
Ive got a slightly modiefied GP version R, that I bought for tooling around at the ghymkhana track on the weekends (driving a course around cones for a fastest time).
Im a newbie when it comes to track driving, so I decided an FF car like the FTO would be something easy to learn in, and handle well around the course. For damn sure I was right,, if only I was a better driver
When I got my GP-R, it wasnt in the best shape and had a lot of parts missing because it had been set for track use. It was a long way from original condition. I did a bit of work cosmetic work to get it a bit more practical for the street.
New interior carpet, drivers seat, rear spoiler, Rays 16inch wheels, tyres.
Current mods: cold air intake, Apexi air cleaner, FRP bonnet, 5Zigen full racing exhaust system, Tein coilovers, lowered .
Looks more respectable for street now, but still very much a track set up. Rough as hell ride due to spring settings, and loud as hell with the 5zigen exhaust. No problems here in Japan, but Id have no end to problems with the cops trying to drive it back home in oz
Nice to meet ya'all

Lucky bastard 
One thing Ive noticed is people dont dress up their cars here much, chrome wheels, big body kits, art work and neon lights are rare to see. I think folks here like to go for the hardcore track setup.
