Tempted to buy my GTR back....but decided not
Just saw on the GTR Reg that my old Skyline is possibly for sale. I'm SOOOOOO tempted to buy it back and stick a BIG turbo on it and feel what 1000bhp feels like. It was built to be capable of 1k bhp but I ran it at pussy power of just a measly 700. I had 95k in it and its for sale for 35k.
Decisions...decisions...hmmm

She got the last laugh on that one though cause I had to shell out on a new Lexus for her

95k??!! Jesus H Christ on a bike!!
Looks like a serious bit of kit though. Go get it if you have £35k to spend - although the guy's siggy on that site says its sold......

Don't mean to piss on anyone's parade but i'd just check that this paragraph from the for sale ad on the GTR website :
"The car is due to go back into the body shop as some numpty wagon driver has caught the rear drivers quarter panel with his bumper and damaged the wheel arch. This will be repaired correctly (probable new rear quarter panel) as it is being paid for by the insurance.
"
doesn't mean the car will be on the hitlist. I'm sure you noticed that anyway.
What a fantastic collection of cars that guy has got all credit to him

I might be selling an option on a new Atom 300 (May delivery) as my business partner and I are considering sharing a Radical SR8 that a client has offered us.

A T88 is the commonly used old truck Mitsu turbo Trust/Greddy sell for silly money and is basically GT42 power just with shite spoolup as its old and wank.
Giken is part of the name OS Giken who do engine parts etc etc, like the internals etc of Cams old car.

Giken means something like "limited" (as in limited company) IIRC.
