My 1st Jap car!

[amsoil]

Ok so its not a complete car but hey ....
I just could believe it when this thing became 'available' I was not aware that any where outside of captivity in Japan. But there it was complete with Vin plate etc. It just had to come home with me..... With Zero parts availability completeing it will not be so easy but I do have the advantage of the original design on CAD. With tonge in cheek i have emailed Nissan UK asking for a front crash structure and a nose telling them that there should be 100% parts availabilty on cars less than 10 years old (just, and yes there was a road car) We will see what happens.

Argghhh, I'm the only one that knew it was an R390 just by looking at the cockpit!

And........................................

I wonder how much longer it will take Don to see that VR-4's are awesome and he needs one?

So did I ...

It's just I only read this thread today ...

[pitslayer]

same here, R390s are cool. if it gets up and running, probably want to get some magnatex oil, or maybe some castrol GTX in it.



how are you going to find parts for it though? they werent exactly cheap cars, or avaible in the uk lol?
