some updates... the Freed people sent me a set of pics of another GTR. i still prefer the black. i guess im about to put an order for the black. heres the other GTR available:






I also already made an initial order for the parts. I contacted Croydon Racing Developments in Australia for some parts. Too bad they dont have the JUN RB26DETT engine crate so they will be rebuilding the engine with JUN components instead. I placed an initial order for a JUN 2.7 stroker kit and many JUN GTR stuffs, OS Giken and Holinger for the transmission, two Garrett GT35R turbos, and Veilside exhaust manifold and Exhaust system.

The price of the Evo will be able to fill in a big gap but I will need to add more for this. But first, lets wait for the car.

The new owner of the car will definitely post here. I will be posting here for Evo updates too, but you would now see my more at the GTR forums.

I'm excited for it. throwing in 2 Garrett GT35Rs with JUN, HKS, Veilside, and Motec stuffs. Visit www.exvitermini.com. My GTR set-up will be based on that.

Just for all your info, me and two of my good friends are opening a shop in SF (near Daly to be exact) that will specialize in Evos, GTRs, and Scoobies. We will be selling the best products like JUN, HKS, Trust/Greddy, Cusco, Sard, Motec, Blitz, Apexi, Garrett, Tomei, Veilside, Exedy, OS Giken, and many Jap products.

Reason why I am asking also about the Skylines in the US is because we want our shop cars to be a GTR and an Evo 8 to be converted into an Evo 7 (kinda crazy but my partner is so in love with a 7). So you guys could provude me any info on where to source out an R34 in the US (basically getting it legalized would be our problem).

I don't know, but mahirap yata mag import ng skyline dito sa states (dot issues). Motorex here in southern california is in trouble because Hiro was I guess doing stuff illegally and I heard he might run.

Presently she runs on a JUN 2.2 4G63 Race engine and bested a record of 9.7 at the 1320. Though I am sure I'll still be able to see her, I'll miss driving her.

In exchange, I'm coming up with a new project car. I had placed an order for a 2001 Nissan Skyline GTR R34 Vspec II from Freed, Japan and probably get the same treatment as the Evo did . I wanna own something rare and a machine every boyracer dreams of having. can't wait until my new baby will be delivered.

I'll surely miss my Evo but then again, some good things never last.
9 second Evos aren't exactly common.

If I were to go with the Skyline, I would most definitely go with the black one. That thing just looks badass.
