Well Guys,

Cheers Guys,

Yep that is a palm tree... it's been there about 5 years now and going strong.... we've just planted a second one near the decking.. it's nice to have a little tropical in your life lol

Well as for Modding the car, it already has...

Apexi Super Power Intake
Apexi Turbo Timer
Cat back straight through SS exhaust ( too loud, changing this first )
Coil overs
18" Wheels
Genuine GTR kit... no fake glass fibre here ! !

So on my list to do is...

Blitz Nur Spec Cat back Exhaust
Japspeed Divorced Turbo Elbow
Japspeed 3" downpipe
Japspeed 100 cell sports cat
Greddy GTR Style Intake
HKS or Greddy FMIC
HKS SSQ BOV

That will be it for starters... you know address all aspects of breathing, then maybe, just maybe a replacement exhaust manifold.

The above will set me back about £2k :shock:

I noticed the GTR headlights! There is a really nice S2 red GTS-T across the road from me here! Not a fan of the S2 front bar though...How many KM has it done?

Might wanna get a killer security system installed - they get pinched left right and center here...and get used in ram raids! :shock:

I originally wanted one a while back but the insurance was a killer for someone my and and then the state government banned people on provisional licenses driving turbocharged cars!

Yeah it has full genuine GTR kit... bodywork ad headlights... it doesnt have the flared rear arches... but I know someone who brought R400 arches for his GTST and had them blended in which looked really nice ! !

It was always my intention to get the S2 because it was the last of the R33, nicer interior and better looking as standard. When I saw this one and took it for a spin I just had to have it lol It has now done about 129k but luckily it has full service history... once it gets to 130k I'm going to do oil and filter... I've checked the coolant etc... and that's fine doesn't need changing for a while... I have noticed a small spot of oil from one side of the rocker cover, looks like the gasket is seeping a little oil out... no biggie... will get a new one and change.... means I get to either chrome or paint the rocker covers lol

Security was installed the second day of ownership.... didn't want to take any chances, and at night it's parked up behind closed locked gates.. out of view as you have seen in the picture. !
