Yesterday at Spa GTROC members saw this so!!!! - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

hodgie · 5th May 2009, 06:58 PM

I went over to have a chat with the owner who happened to be the Manager of the Belgium HPC.
After showing him my Owners Club Badge i asked if there was any chance of some pax laps for myself co member Booty-licious. He kindly agreed on the condition that i`d take him out in my R33. So the deal was made

Many thanks to Olivier Merckx, it was a pleasure to meet you and go in your car

Trev · 5th May 2009, 07:01 PM

Great stuff!!

I take it the car went well?

matty32 · 5th May 2009, 07:04 PM

that was a result, well spotted!

hodgie · 5th May 2009, 07:07 PM

Yes Trev it did mate,
Gear changes faster than you could believe and very smooth up and down the gears.
First impressions are that it does need a louder exhaust to give the car some caracter.
Secondly you could be the worst driver in the world and you`d be a driving god on track.

Thanks Hodgie for posting! You know with me jumping up and down with excitment, I don't think Mr Merckx had much of a chance of turning me down...LOL!! Great arrangement mate

One minute pics of us in it...next a pax lap. On mine the driver got the back out (not intentionally mind due

) I consider myself one very lucky girl!

Only 7 days old ... nearly not made it for the event !

Also very happy to have see all of you @ the Ring & @ Francorchamps !

Olivier friend with the 300ZX with 600bhp was not too bad either ...

My impressions of the car:

Don't like the flappy paddles, gear box everytime. But must say very smooth gear changes with them though, even when you're taking it sideways round Spa. In my mind to many knobs and dials - screams confusion and I can imagine the size of the booklet that goes with it - War and Peace springs to mind.

On a whole, nice looking car, to many gadets, a bit too much plastic. But can see the appeal of the car........ Jeremy clackson eat my shorts

Once again very fortunate to have a pax ride in a very talked about car of recent

Good to see you again after 2yrs of being away from the Skyline scene. Saw the 300ZX, boy that car was fast!!

very similar on the power delivery but it the gear changes and the grip that help make it so fast.
