I figured I should join the party and open a thread about the car with a little bit of info, and use it to dump photo's of it when I get around to shooting it.

Posted Image

I'm the original Aussie owner of the vehicle. Purchased it about 5 years ago to replace my R32 Gts't. I was looking for either a mint R32 GTR, or a bayside blue R34 GTT at the time. After driving a few Gtt's I decided it was more of a sideways step instead of a real upgrade, and after test driving an Evo the decision was made.

After shopping around for a while, doing some homework and looking at a stack of cars I found one I really liked that had just landed from Japan. It was completely stock and in great condition with about 30,000km on the clock.

Posted Image

The car stayed stock for ages, I was busy saving for camera gear and a house deposit. I still took it to the track and it's performance for a stocker was amazing. I loved it. The only initial mod was fitting a heavy duty clutch and tidying some things up, like brake calipers and a few other little minor bits and pieces.

like my decepticon badge (every car I've owned has a decepticon logo on it somewhere.)

Posted Image

After a while I got sick of the stock look, I had the house deposit done, I had enough gear to get more serious about shooting, so I recently started making a few additions to the car. (If I don't sell it, there's some engine mods on the way soon too)
Before....

After....

I sourced a set of CE28N's for the car. Wrapped in Yokohama's awesome AD08 rubber. Such a rad tyre.

Posted Image

Also added a Carbon lip to the front, and replaced the rear bar with an Evo 9 version.

As of now...

I'm considering a carbon blade for the wing, some more carbon interior bits and possibly another vortex generator (I lost the other decided to part company with the car at about 200km ;/ )

Oh yeah, I fitted some Yellow Jacket Coil Packs (Seem really good so far, didn't miss a beat during some track thrashing) and dropped a new Exeddy HD Clutch in it the other week. My clutch had been semi rooted for some time, I'd forgotten how quickly it can pull when it's allowed to get power to the wheels! Almost like a new toy again haha!

and... a couple extra shots while I'm here...

CHeers boys. Nice warm welcome in. Most of you guys are Melbournians yeah?

The decepticon badge because every car I've had has had a decepticon sticker or badge on it. I've been doing it long since before those abortions Michael Bay spat out. Quite the transformers nerd from waaaaaaay back. It adds a little touch of me on it. Some people like it, some people hate it.

I'm thinking of grabbing some coilovers and doing some work on the brake lines soon, get it suited to going a bit harder on the track.

Great pics and a very tidy car. Personally, I like the Deception badge and same as you - can't stand the new movies that have just trashed the awesome 80's cartoon that to me will always be the real Transformers!
