No, everything but the EVC, SSQV, and turbo timer was done by me. It was put together by a shop in Japan for a show model it only has 17,000 km on it for a 2002 model.

Now this is a car I'm jealous of.
Yeah, an 8 is fun, but when you floor it, it takes a while to wind up. With 400 horses, you MOVE when you floor it. It's cool to have to worry about how much throttle you can apply before getting into trouble

The car looks like a toy in a few of those pics. Is that you washing it? Cuz either you're super tall or that car looks like it shrunk! It's nice either way!

Hopefully tomorrow if the weather is nice I'll be taking more pics of the car and my buddies 600 hp R32 GTR. I'll see if I can get some video of both of them too.

How much of a pain was it to import and certify in Germany? I don't even want to know the extensive process people have to go through and make them legal here. I have only seen one on the road in my life.

I'm not really going to go into the cost to get it legal and what not, but I will say it was cheaper than what I would pay to get it into the states. Its a really expensive used car anyway you look at it but well worth it

Atleast the states CAN import one through motorex i believe?
We in Canada can't even get one no matter how much $$ we spend...
not even a freaking EVO....
