That's a rare old beast! Can I ask what it set you back?

£1700. Fresh import, 46k miles.

Motorised parking doofers as well!

Cool thing, that

[drtom]

Oops, double post.

[TheJimi]

Bloody hell. What's wrong with it? That's ridiculously cheap.

Cheers. Haha yeah, the temptation to put a little flag on the parking pole is quite strong.

It also has a hilarious retro reversing camera-

That’s my Forester S edition with the EJ25 engine

Behind it is my Legnum VR4 with only 20k miles on the clock, will have to say goodbye to the latter which is a shame as it is like driving a new car. It’s been amazing

Is the Legnum up for sale or has it already sold?

Nothing much, as far as I can tell. The paint on one front quarter is a bit flat (bad panel respray at some point). Couple of scrapes to the front bumper. Small fag burn to driver's seat. Otherwise pretty mint.

It was a terrible eBay listing, blurry photos and the guy hadn't finished registering it yet. I took a punt without having seen the car and was the only bidder

[Butter Face]

Great work.

My dad has a 450GT in NZ, a rare beast there so to see one in the UK is rare too! More pics please.

Love that, could we see a few more pictures please? I have am drawn towards these for some reason I can't fathom, and would love to see more. Once the 'kids' are out of my hair, which should nicely coincide with my M4 Comp being up for change, I've a growing desire for one of these or a Lexus LC...

My 350gt-8. Probably won't be everyone's cup of tea but it was a bargain!

Defo my cup of tea, is that chassis code PV35? They are lovely, how are you finding driving it, what is the auto box like?

I am in a similar position with my big auto JDM barge just getting the final bits and pieces done before I take delivery!!

Yeah PV35. I actually really like the CVT. I've pretty much always had manuals so was a bit dubious but it's so smooth around town and traffic, and you can always have some fun with the paddles if you want. 8 'gears' is too many though. 5 would have been plenty as the only time I'd need higher is on the motorway when I'd rather be in auto anyway. Motorway is a pleasure actually, can sit at 80mph at about 2300rpm.

There is a moment's hesitation when you put your foot to the floor is auto mode, but probably less time than I'd lose changing down in a manual. After that it's just super smooth torque all the way to the limiter.

The traction control is a little over-zealous I think, it kicks in a lot just pulling out at busy junctions!

Thanks for the positive responses.

Indeed the yellow colour is what really makes the car, me & my bro spotted a load of silver ones and plenty with no bodykits fitted an thought if you're going to buy something unusual you've got to be bold.

Personally I love yellow cars and would be happy to have more, - i always keep an eye out for them - ive got a saved search on AT/ebay for yellow/manual/rwd/sub 8sec 60

Lovely Altezza. Talking of your AT/ebay searches, do you get many hits for 350z GT4's? The colour looks a bit dull on grey day (as dull as a big yellow car can be anyway) but really pops in the sun.

My current JDM toy:

I certainly have seen a few yellow 350Zs and I think they are fantastic. Although one or two appeared to be suffering from quite bad fading which I suspect is under the lacquer thus making it harder to work with . That said the 350 is quite close to the top of my next car list.

I think they are getting to the point where they won't become any more affordable and half decent ones will disappear at an alarming rate in the next 5 years.

Very nice. Are those the Kouki front lip and rear spoiler?

The Madeira Drive arches used to be a great location for a photoshoot.
Such a shame that years of neglect meant they had be fenced off.
Hopefully the restoration project will now finally get off the ground.

A nice trip around Snowdonia in the Foz

hi all, noob alert! ...but long time lurker, first post

got desmond rega wheels on it now, much prefer these bbs which were on it before.

[TheJimi]

Love the R33 GTR.

So much "presence" with that car. The GTR might be more capable and technically accomplished but it doesn't make me giddy like the 32, 33 and 34 does.

[TommoAE86]

Lovely GTR!!! I know I'm in the minority but my favourite shape of Skyline is the R33
