Picked up new car tonight. R33 GTR!
Wow its got a noisy exhaust!!! LOL! Lowered, some cosmetic bits, not sure re CAT, will see at the weekend 
Its a 1995 R33 GTR Midnight Purple on about 52k ish miles.
Feels slow compared to my old supe, because I'm not used to the different style of power delivery yet, but the speedo tells a different story.
I have to admit (flame suit on!) I do prefer the looks of the my old Supe (Do-Luck front, skirts, aerotop), but the Skyline is gorgeous too, and its such a better drivers car
Well chuffed. Only pic I have until the weekend:

Nice one ScoobyJawa - looks awesome.
Just remember though - not as good as an M3 and far more common
Enjoy it.

Mods, if you own it they will come LMAO!
At the mo its got a CAT back Apexi system I think, not sure if the cat is removed or not, gotta check. Also an Apexi Powerflow Induction kit or whatever its called! Then perhaps a Middlehurst Stage 1 ECU, front downpipes, and the Blitz SBC ID I have sat next to me No idea on power, depends on zorst I guess, I'd imagine anything up to 350 at the moment. Really ony looking to go to 400ish....
tiggers - cheers LOL @ M3's Oh well, I think I'll manage!

Just wondered whats wrong with that car cosworth427, could you explain it?
I think it looks great but I've never driven one, all I know is that they are a well respected Jap car well on the way to being a classic, with a great deal of motorsport success behind them. What's not to like?

Just read the SkylineV M3 thread which I hadn't noticed before.
I'm now fully aware of his views, never heard any of that about skylines before though.
Personally I think your car looks the dogs danglies, I bet it shifts as well.

Neil hi there and again, another good choice in motas.
Like the car and in that colour look foward to an update on ownership, thinking along similar lines possibly but my concern is doing a lotta miles.

It sure shifts, but you need to get the revs going! At the mo its fairly standard except for cat back and induction, so a few more breathing mods should see a marked improvement too
