very nice, like the wheels.

Is the engine std?

Not exactly standard,Approx 480bhp.
Abbey Motorsport did all the work,will take it to them asap to get it serviced and dynoed to see what shes got but believe me it is fast...
Wheels are Nismo GT1 split rims,luckily for me they were on the car when I bought as they cost £600 each.

All you need know is a red "A-team" stripe down the side...

The red stripe is on the way,just need to put some 10" wheels on the front to get the proper van stance...

Chunky...That is quality mate.

Dazz...The engine is not what you call standard so at the moment nothing major planned.May sort out a few bits for the inside but I am happy with what I have got at the moment....

Moses...Still getting used to it so not throwing it around much yet,feels huge when you drive it,suspension is a bit harsh and the wafer thin tyres don`t help.The power is something else,it is completly different from the Evo,alot smoother and never seems to run out of breath.Don`t know about the g-forces you can pull but it really sticks to the road.I know this will upset a few people but it is better than the Evo in my opinion..

i luv evos but i always loved skylines since my younger days i was gonna get one last year but evo was my life long dream hopefully maybe next yr get it as a second car, its awesome.

your a lucky guy mate keep safe and keep the car safe too, loads of nismo goodies out for them, take it to 600 torque mate u will be pi55ing on the gt2 porsche by yards not just inches, these ****ers r so fast and the ones in japan pi55 on the mclaren f1 by 10 secs right up to 220 its awesome check for top secret sites their skylines r awesome and get that beasts from the east video its in that.


Good luck
