For a pretty stock car , they are nice to drive. not too sure what i am going to do with it (Mods) may just drive it for awhile like it is.

i got a 33gtst.... 12psi,3.5inch turbo back exhaust, fmic, ecu, injectors, bc, etc and i was blown away at first.....want more power now....but handling is amazing its got coilovers and its lowered heaps.... handles awesome... i own a vl calais and a skyline and the difference is un compareable

yeah they are worlds apart arent they. I went in a standard r32 rb20det and it handled insanly, although it was fairly bumpy, suspension was heaps stiff but i suppose its always a trade off hey?

but you cant beat the 4wd setup. Its a great combo. Everyone I know speak about GTR's and how good they are, well i know what they are talking about!!!!
