I finally picked her up on Friday afternoon from Zele :squintdan
Here's the spec:
2001 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R V-Spec II
Nismo exhaust
Nismo intercooler
Nismo S-Tune suspension & stabliser bars
Nismo full aero
Nismo carbon fibre rear spoiler
Nismo GT rear lights
Nismo dials
Nismo MFD2
Nismo carbon fibre B-Pilar trim
Shin met me at the Atsugi showroom on Friday to hand over the keys, documents and explain how the alarm works. Unfortunately being a long weekend here the traffic was murder and I was just in time to hit the worst of rush hour. The drive back to Yokohama was a little sedate, but I was just glad that Shin programmed my home address in the Sat nav. It doesn't look like it can be changed to English which makes things interesting...! I was up bright and early on Saturday for a drive in the moutains near Atsugi, great fun.
This is my first Skyline, having owned a Supra for 7 years, and I'm chuffed to bits with her.
Big thanks to everyone that gave me advice, especially Bean. I didn't think buying a car could be so complicated, but this is Japan...
First thing on my modifications lists is brakes, the standard ones are pretty poor IMO. If anyone knows any good roads around the Yokohama area let me know please, the fewer cars, police, speed cameras and traffic lights the better
I'll be selling my Supra in December when I'm back.
Here's a couple of pictures:
