Project: Cop Bait

[Fuzen]

So I sold my GTS and got myself a GTR. I haven't done too much to the car as I got it about a week ago, but I have lots of plans (of course) for the car in the future here. The car is basically stock except for a few things so its a good building block to go with.

I will be updating this mod list as it changes, please feel free to leave comments on what I should upgrade first as this is my first GTR, and its a bit different than a GTS. thanks!

I had to cancel my build due to lack of funds and moving out to a condo all while saving up to go to australia. I also wanted to cancel because it would of taken me until next year to have all the parts, and I really want to drive my car this summer, especially out to BC for the huge ass skyline meet that I still want to hold!

I will update the parts list on the front page here to reflect what I have on the car and what I am doing to it now that I am putting it back together. I will be keeping the twin turbo stock setup obviously but I plan on upgrading the parts around the engine as much as possible before finally saving up and re-buying the single turbo setup again. So enjoy my new build thread! lol.

Jealousy ....Engage..... lol Nice find Fuzen. Congrats.

[Daryl @ RightDrive]

[Fuzen]

Thanks all! and yeah once I saw it I fell in love, the rims just work so well with it. Hopefully the CF hood will be installed in the next week or so here. I also have a week of vacation coming up so might be able to get a few other things done like gauges, heres to hoping!

Car looks great! I love the car colour/rim combination, and the exterior looks amazingly mint.

How can they not pull you over with a plate like that? :-P

[superdaveosbourne]

I love the plate. I thought I as looking at pics of my car until I saw the gold rims (awesome, btw). Nice and clean and minty fresh

[Fuzen]

How can they not pull you over with a plate like that? :-P

I have run into a few cops so far (not pulled over) at like gas stations and normal drunk driver check stops and the have all laughed at it and say they like it. I am sure I will run into the one cop having a bad day and he will find something wrong with the car lol, but its okay

Yeah I was rather surprised at how mint the car is, the interior is completely stock other than a cd deck, and theres no rips or anything in the dash or seats.

Looks like my CF hood will be going on this coming monday so will post pics o that when its done! heres to hoping they dont mess up haha! thanks for all the props so far though!
