well.. been in japan for a few days now

originally wanted a r32 gts-t for a long time, but the car is hard to come by in this area I could have sourced out, but i don't have much time left. and i needed transportation/a car to drift right away. this r33 Gts-t i just got is ok, has suspension, some 18wheels, Momo steering wheel and Defi Gauges..

Ill be uninstalling things that the previous owner put in.

these were my choices on base... when i get back from Iraq again, ill be picking up and R32 gts-t and selling the r33.

the white GT-R was a little to rich for my blood and had been in 2 accidents and just not what i wanted. the red Gts-4 was rusting badly and i didn't want to deal with a 4WD car.

Hey, boss. If you are putting that Holset turbo on your ride, how about cuutting me a sweet deal on your stock turbo, if still in good condition.

I've been looking for one, but don't want to pay more than $150 for one over here, especially one with milage on it.

Let me know what you want for it, or I might have a few items I can trade+cash for it.

well been away for a bit dudes

the bumper was replaced, however, the next day I hit a wall drifting in a event. Go figure i have been drifting for 5 years with my 240 no major accidents and BAM! after my successful debut with the r33 i crashed into a wall

I fixed all the damaged just needs some more body work in the rear.

plan now is to store the R33 at the track for 20 bucks a month as a drift only car.

when i get back from iraq im getting a R32 GT-R.

when im ready to return to the states, ill be shipping the car myself. i will not deal with the military. Im from baltimore MD and as some of you may know has a major car port there. I actually worked at the port for about 6 months before going to the military. MD has a 20 year historic car rule now.Before I embark on this, ill check MD DOT cause they change the rules every 10 min.

As far as parts.. they are not cheaper im finding out. they are somewhat more abundant, but not cheaper. shipping is also a big issue as we cant use the post office on base for personal gain. Ill probably start dealing in parts when i get back becuase ill have money to front for parts.

I ordered them from Uras they cost 150 dollars. You don't need to run the spacer, they are already machined on to the tie rod.

32's are nice, but the 33-R is the best looking GT-R in my opinion.

And you're military, 500 plates aren't that big of a deal for tax and what-not.

My R is due this April for tax and I am not too keen to learn what it's going to be. My 500 plate Laurel was $450 a year.

And, I have my inspection due next year...pfft...there goes $1500.
