I was over at my mate Verdi's workshop yesterday, (does Ferrari's and Lambo's) got an RS 500 Cossie with a Mountune engine himself, one of the quickest cars he has ever driven. He was messing and knocking my car (teasing) wouldn't believe the Dyno sheet, anyway his son comes along with one of their top mechanics and asks how quick is the car, I gave him the keys, he comes back after around 15 minutes with their mechanic after having driven my car and say's to his dad, (he's all excited, the mechanics hands are shaking) forget the Enzo's and the F40's, if you want quick, this is the car with that his dad asks for the keys, I give him the keys, he comes back after 15 minutes, jumps out the car shaking his head and say's thats not a car it's a fe**ing missile. That coming from him, made my day, as he's around fast cars on a daily basis and his opinion means something, he said its dangerous as the suspension and the brakes are not good enough, that I already know as they are the next upgrades along with a vented bonnet.

Hahaha AWESOME Pupsi!!!

Fingers crossed it stays dry today

[M19 GTR]

Passing keys around is asking for trouble man, i know a few pips who have done that and regret'd it afterwards.

Take care of it mate.

When i was looking for a 360 i went down to Karl's and he took me out in a few cars.......I explained that none of them felt as fast as my skyline and he laughed at me!

A year or two later i went down to one of the ferrari meets (in my 34) and on the way back i happened to see him in a 360 on the motorway.......need i say what happened next???.......

They are a good bunch of guys at Verdi's......

[pupsi]

Yeah Verdi and the Guy's are all cool, I've known him for about 12 years now. He's like Clarkson if it's not a Ferrari, it's shit, until he drove my Skyline yesterday............

He's alright they're good friends of mine, but I know what you mean.

[R.I.P.S NZ]

Thats great news mate and the best part is, you can honestly tell them she's very mild indeed.

400-500hp "super cars" may look good and pull the birds, but they don't get close to a reasonable GTR for torque and accelleration.

Get some good brakes on there and do the suspension and I'll start on the 1000hp turbo kit shall I??? lol, just joking mate.

Get out there, have fun and don't let others drive it, you will regret it sooner or later!!

I'me ready for the 1000bhp turbo kit as long as I don't lose the response that I have now, how much shall I transfer to your bank account.........??

[mifn21]

This car really is an animal Both the sound and the acceleration are simply insane!
Just been out for a spin with Pupsi, and it was so fast that I was too scared to have a go That was on low boost too! Thanks mate, can't wait until the tunnel run

LOL, I was joking.

Its basicly impossible to have the same response you now and also have it peek at 1000hp unless you want to use NOS down low.

Jeffs R34 makes alot more power than you have now and I was very very surprised at how well it drives on the street, it's not as responsive as Sparks but around 1000rpm later its goes a hell of alot quicker!!!

Might pay to go to the smaller GT42 with a smaller turbine housing if you are serious.

e-mail me if you like........

I'm still pmsl that after a couple of days you want more!!!!!!

Yes, this is amazing actually - I took an anti-Skyline mate of mine for a ride in my "ugly duckling" R33 GTS25t a few weeks ago, and whilst on the motorway a chap in a "sporty" Euro of sorts spotted that we were having some fun and apparently decided to rain on our parade. Having a guy in a high end Mercedes do the loser fly by on you when you are in a car you have spent a grand total of ~$27kNZ/10k pounds on (including purchase price) is really quite a hoot.

I can't imagine running around with something like this R33 GTR, that would be so much fun!!!

O.K people the initial shock of what I have and what it does and it's capabilities and transformation has finally sunk in, I'me now back in the real world. What a Fe**ing car, absolutely phenominal. I now need some advice and idea's, what brake set-up do I go for?? What suspension modifications do I need for fast street and track use?? I'me not in to the Drifting scene. So I need your help and advise for these next two mods/upgrades, suspension and stopping power, please post your thoughts and ideas please.

The aim of the game is all about balance. Getting the maximum out of a setup requires the perfect balance of chassis, motor, breaking and handling IMHO, (99% of japanese tuners will tell you the same thing) there's no point having a car great in one areas to be let down in another.. making a car perform average.

You need brakes that will give you a good front rear balance so if you're on the track braking hard during corner the tail wont step out.. you also need something that will get wram quick enough to work on the street.. I'm sure the other guys can tell you some good examples

You'll need some good coilovers for track work but also be able to absorb bumps and be able to work with day to day driving, last thing you want is 15kg/mm springs/dampers that will jar your bones driving to the corner shop.

I suggest Ohlins/Mines/the good teins with edfc so u can adjust them from in the cabin. Adjustable links work wonders too so you can get the right alighnment.. cambers/castors/toes ect, as do pineapples, sway bars, good mounts to replace the rubber crap and get rid of your hicas. Also you have to remember to get the right handling balance so you don't wear your tryes out with excessive camber and the car becomes " predictable "..

All the above need to work with the best tyres you can afford, because they're the only thing connecting you to the raod, but remember super soft semi slicks take time to warm up on the street and are very dangersous (slippery) when cold, and cannot be driven in the wet. Also you don't want to be going through semi's quickly unless you have $$'s to throw away..

Best thing to do would be to get out to some track days with gtroc guys who have good setups and see what they have.. ask as many questions as possible and try get as many rides as possible to see what's the best thing for you.

Help that helps
