The only thing I know about Pulsars (apart from the fact that they're monster quick) is that the stock brakes are *awful*.......

Are yours upgraded?

They are awful, and they understeer like a fiesta on ice, a case of slow in quick out of corners, the only problem being the brakes aren't good enough to slow you sufficiently.

However, the white lines kit will help solve understeer, slap some big brakes on and you have a real Scooby slayer. I know, I've been there and I loved every minute of it

Tom,

There is a big Jap Car meet on 25th May at the Coppid Beach Hotel in Bracknell. More details can be found here:

www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31324

The Pistonheads Virginia Water meet is very good, I have taken my 200 there a few times now. Normally a couple of GTiRs, Skylines, Scoobys there.

Also try www.gtr.co.uk, theres a few GTiR owners on there and www.japukmeets.co.uk.

Cheers

Nik

Glad to see some GTiR info.
Need to know has anyone any contacts in South West to get one looked at, good service needed, new clutch/bearing and gearbox checkover

your best shot appreciated
Car is J reg and unmodded other than brakes

You have a few options, Norris Designs are one but I would recommend Abbey Motorsport, DP Racing, or HiTeq in Wigan.

Best get onto the www.gtiroc.co.uk and just ask some questions.
