hi guys :WaveBye

im matt, and being totally upfront i do work for Newera Japan but i have just bought my first FD to compliment my GT-R34.

looking to chat on here with other FD owners :3gears-rh

Back in 2002, I always wanted an FD but went the BNR32 route (via Miguel) as the pull of an RB26 was a little too great…

Years have passed, various trips in Miguel’s FD over the years & several GT-Rs later…. a 6month search has enabled me to fulfill a 12 year itch!

special cars come to those who wait.:cool:

I won’t go into the full spec list, but it’s got a splashing of Rmagic/Knightsports/Re-Am items combined to produce a very well touge / track car with a recently rebuilt engine, with power provided by a single Apex’i turbo :wavey:...Stopping power courtesy of AP which fit behind some bronze TE37s


(and yes the chess board red carpets are coming out ;-) )

Hi Matt , welcome to MRC.

Wow, sweet car.

Road trip up to Gunma-ken to drive the Haruna (Akina) touge?

very nice, exactly the kind of car I was hoping to import for myself three years ago but sadly could not find one similar at the time anywhere - I ended up getting one in the UK for way more than it was worth, what would the OTR price of this beast be to a newera customer please?

[matty-chiba]

Thanks the comments

One of the best drives is the *skyline drive near hakone

These types of fds and other cars like gtrs do not go thro the auctions these days

Most are stripped for parts and sent through stock-ish

I can post a spec list as its got lots of hidden extras

Cost would be approx £16,000, although its worth far more in parts

Which is what im paying for the car to be shipped to the uk

Car is stunning mate. Thats a lot of gauges !!!

[Pidge]

Only thing that ruins it for me are those vortex generators on the roof

Awesome looking beast :InLove

[matty-chiba]

The roof bits are coming off

very nice car! quite interested in the AP brake setup.

Most importantly the rotors and hats (partnrs maybe???) as well as the caliper brackets.

What type of calipers are being used? CP5200?
