Agreed regarding the looks! 500 nags are not to be sniffed at
plans? Track days?

Awesome- what are the black pipes coming from the bottom left tank doing? Sat trying to work it out, not meth, not an oil catch tank?

Absolutely perfect, congrats.
sierra saphire with body kit?Always wanted one of these and after many years of saving I have one, you can probably guess what it is from this?

Love the R34 congrats. Also a really big fan of the colour. Very jealous.
Id love to have one of these but the Mrs isn't a fan of them...but she does want an R35, just have to live with that in a few years instead :-/
Hawker

Well done.

very niiiiice 
that engine bay
but what's with the bonnet gas struts and a bar?
Would love to own one of these but not sure i could ever justify the scene tax to my skinflint wallet should it ever be thick enough to even contemplate such things!

bingo, oil catch tank.
Plans are to just enjoy it, ive been working towards owning one for about 8 years so to finally be in a position of having one seems a bit surreal!

Absolutely stunning (babez)
I'm a bit jealous and I'm not even a massive Skyline fan. Can't help but like that... Especially under the bonnet.

Sorry to ask, how much did it set you back?
Caporegime
I would estimate between £27,500 and £32,500
Perhaps a little more seen as it is absolutely mint with what look to be very clean and professional modifications.

Pretty good guess on the price!
It was made in 2001 and has done 31k miles.
I saved up for years to get enough for a deposit on a house with my gf, a decent place with a garage, and also have enough left over to buy the car. I dont earn a lot, so I lived at home with my parents longer than I was expecting but I knew if I moved out early i'd never be able to save that much up whilst paying a mortgage, so I stuck to the plan. Now after all this time it is an odd feeling to know I actually did it.

I would probably have bought one of these as a toy with that money to spend. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...ew,new/radius/1500/postcode/bn150he?logcode=p

Never been a massive fan of Skyline's but that's a really nice, clean example.
