I have been driving R31's since 1993. Lived in Japan for 15 years while in the Navy. Retired last year, moved to Houston and imported a GTS-X. Just bought a GTS-R and should get it within a couple weeks. Here are the cars.

Nice. Not a lot of love for the R31 out there but I saw a really nice one on Speedhunters and thought about getting one before I got my R32. Hope you get your rides soon.

No love for the R31 indeed. But I am okay with that. Keeps their prices down unlike the R32. LOL

Ferg,

You know Mark Tuell and Ken Morrison, right? You're one of the OGs from Velocity on Oki?

It's funny watching the young kids reactions when I get in the R31. They act like a middle aged man shouldn't be driving it. They don't know that we were in the game long before the Fast and Furious craze. LOL

I know Marc from hanging out at the base hobby shop in Yokosuka back between 1998-2001. Met Gary, Veilside Rob, GT-R Rob, Duane, Shorty, Alan and Jerry.

Got to meet and hang out with Ken quite a bit when he lived in Chiba for about a year. Good dude.

I used to be on one of the Velocity social media pages several years ago with my C33 Laurel Club S Turbo.

Ya he had told he was going to Japan at the end of the moth.
He's going to pick up some parts for me when here's there, He found some small issues with the GT-R he sold and told me he would get the part's for me. ( The idea came from him, he was the one who found issue and he was the one to point them out to me and he was the one to offer to fix them, all that help me fell go with the purchase) :)

Make sure to post some pics when you get your car.

Same here. He is going to R31 House to learn more about the R31s he is is selling. Also mentioned he is going to Genesis. I think he wants to provide a car with zero problems for the customer. I like his style.

The car was delivered this past Sunday. Except for a few minor rock chips and dings, this thing is in amazing shape. The interior and engine are so clean you would think it just came off the showroom floor. Pics do not do this car justice!!!!!! Feeling pretty happy right now.

Beautiful car and a great buy of course. Could you send me an email: [email protected].

Would like to ask you a few questions about your R31 since you know a lot about the platform. Thank you in advance.
