Well folks, with-in the next 15 mins me adn a coule of my car club guys will be heading out to Flordia to pick up my Skyline GT-R. If all goes as planned, we will pick it up tomorrow afternoon and start our trip back. She is a 1997 Midnight Purple R-33 V-Spec. Should be a fun car and best part about it is, she is bone stock with only 42,380 miles on her. I'll post up new pics when we get back on Tuesday. Neb's. I'll call ya.

Later

Drive safe. have fun. Talk to you soon. can wait to see her.

wow can't wait to see pics of it!

pIcs?

well? what happened

update???????????????????

the ship sank!!! :lmao:

The only pic I have so far because of this crappy weatherhttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa54/synistrwrx/DSC03115.jpg

why cant that be at my house? 2 bad ass rides. that may be a bad pic but its still bad ass

how is driving on the wrong side?

Erik it's good to see her. I am sure it is a relief to finally have it. I look forward to many a call in the future. :D The front lower lip is in pretty descent shape, the paint is descent....interesting choice to bronze the stock wheels. But it does look totally stock for now, I can't wait to see all of the parts on it. You will make some good power for sure. When you run a new boost controller and/or turbos, replace all of the stock vacuum line in the boost hoses. You will find the boost restrictor in there and then you can get some serious power out. It should be yellow and next to the intake manifold (if you need specifics check the FSM).

lucky bascard! :D

Here are a couple more I took between the rain showershttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa54/synistrwrx/DSC03118.jpg

Congrats E!

It's awesome to be able to own your dream car. Widen my front shock towers a bit, and drop a 429 in, and I'm there :)

Your R33 is beautiful. :)

Looking good Eric. I want to see that thing in person SO bad. You need to plan a road trip and I'll get the rest of the group together.....hopefully by then Sami's car will be up and we can show you what the finished product will be when that car is done. :D

Craig welcome Bro!

Welcome!

Craig welcome Bro!

Thanks buddy. How's the Vdub treating you?

very nice ride man congrats...on her dude take good care of her man!!!

Thanks buddy. How's the Vdub treating you?

great car. But it looks like every other blue MK5 jetta in DFW. And there one at every stop light. But working on getting wheels for it and maybe a 2" drop to set her apart from the rest

Yeah we have the same thing just in silver. We really like it. We've put 75,000 miles on it, and it still feels like it's brand new.

Nice 33 man, I like it!

Well i can say the r33 is clean! the only problem i seen with the car was the drivers(hehe passenger's) side seat had some wear. but besides that it is a very very clean and straight car inside and out!! thanks 4 the tour Eric!

Not a problem B. THe seats will be replaced with aftermarket as soon as the Scooby goes bye-bye.

Nice choice, I hope to meet ya soon! Get you some giant wheels on that sucker and snails will have to man up!

Putting some 18 x 9.5 on there with 265/35s on her. Wheels should be here Monday and the tyres by Thursday.

SUCK! You guys are trying to make me go broke....

But my response to that would be.....you guys will have the SHOW but I will have the GO!!!!

That's right Dave I said id.....make some real MAN hp and stop play in the sandbox. :D :D :D :D

TriTek, if you have the black R33, between you and TwinSnails, I am already invious. You guys have the hottest GT-Rs around IMO.

Yeah Eric Tritek has the Black R33 GTR with gold volks. His paint is in good shape IMO. His front lip is beat up....but so was mine (I guess that's why they made them out of black plastic). A little birdy told me has has some plans that involve a pair of HKS 2530's, Power FC, and some other goodies. :D

Dang it Eric you just got your car a few days ago and it is still pretty much stock I expect 400+ whp in the next week.....get to it. :D :D :D :D

There they are....like twins....only one twin is bigger, stronger, and faster. :D :D

A few more cute ones that I had stashed away. I was thinking about posting all of my photos from the day I got it (stock) to the bolt on build.....to the blown motor, to the built motor, to the blown turbos, to the new hood and wing, etc. etc. in the RKC members builds or whatever...I'll let you know if I get that motivated.

Ahhh yes....MSR. I love that track.

wheres that track at? im interested in goin to a course this summer. there is one in hallet up by tulsa.

It's South of Dallas......


The silver car is real sharp looking. I've know Eric for a long long time, and I know it won't take him long to get his car a little more "unique" looking :D

It's officially in Cresson Tx. That is WAY West of Dallas. About an hour door to door from downtown Dallas. It's like 15 minutes West of Ft. Worth.

I can't wait to see what Eric does to the car. From what I can see (I think I said this earlier) the paint looks to be in good shape. We discussed the refreshing modifications to these old motors to keep them happy and from there the sky is only limited to how fat your wallet is. :D :D :D :D

I know where it is geographically, but it's hard to tell exactly what town it's in from the air. I fly into Alliance about 3 times a week, and I fly right over it when we come in from South Texas.

That must be a sweet sight to see from the air.

It goes by real fast.

I will probably have to go with its looks like a very good track from the pics. Hallit not so much

Thanks man! Im really working on it but this fat wallet mod keeps getting in my way! Hopefully it will be making some real power this summer and still be reliable. We all need to get together soon !

Im not sure what you mean by bigger? Bigger and uglier? I wouldnt get nice wheels either if i was you, god knows you cant drive! You know Im just kidding right?

There they are....like twins....only one twin is bigger, stronger, and faster. :D :D

Well things have a tendency to break if that's what you mean Dave. :D I will believe it when I see it Dave. Until those turbos get on the car I will assume they are for a friend with a 240sx or something.

Thanks man! Im really working on it but this fat wallet mod keeps getting in my way! Hopefully it will be making some real power this summer and still be reliable. We all need to get together soon !

Yeah that fat wallet mod is a pretty tough one to get a hold of. Keep it up and you'll get you one.

fat wallet + technical know how - major fuckups divided by the fact that you start with the right car = killer ride!
