johnny g Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 As most of you know I sold my Supra to fund the purchase of my old GT-R back in the day, which is now owned by M2 TSW On the 30th March of this year, I collected my brand spanking new 2017 GT-R Recaro Edition is Daytona Blue. [ATTACH=CONFIG]219912[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]219913[/ATTACH] Where it was then sent to Central Detailing for it's proper new car preparation and ceramic coating [ATTACH=CONFIG]219914[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]219915[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]219916[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]219917[/ATTACH] This was the mileage on the morning of collection [ATTACH=CONFIG]219918[/ATTACH] Bought myself a nice plate for it [ATTACH=CONFIG]219922[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]219926[/ATTACH] Customary Senna autograph [ATTACH=CONFIG]219919[/ATTACH] Just afterwards, I took it on a trip to Holland for a euro GT-R meet (annual thing) [ATTACH=CONFIG]219920[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]219921[/ATTACH] Then the mods have started, because 575bhp isn't quite enough! Alcon Superkit (400mm discs and monster 6 pot calipers, 4 in the rear with 380mm discs)) [ATTACH=CONFIG]219923[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]219924[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]219927[/ATTACH] The car is currently away having the "Stage 4.5" modifications. Which is: Billet Garrett turbo cores (30-40% lighter than stock, and a little bigger) Litchfield Superstreet Intercooler ASNU 1100cc injectors Twin Fuel Pumps 80mm intakes 102mm super-silenced exhaust Catless downpipes EcuTek remap A fellow GTR owner has just had his car done with the same modification and yielded this [ATTACH=CONFIG]219925[/ATTACH] 748bhp and 640lb/ft - I'm hoping for a couple more horsepower primarily because there's some improvements in the 2017 heads. We may just turn it down to hold 750bhp. Next mods will be the suspension, handling kit and a stinking great stereo for the two end of summer trips.

Annabella Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Looks monstrously angular at the front end! Different animal to the supra completely. How much different to your last one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Love that colour in the GTR. Not a bad plate Yea am quite happy with the plate Looks monstrously angular at the front end! Different animal to the supra completely. How much different to your last one? It's a lot more refined, gearbox is better, ride is better. Does understeer a little more, but then I've got that addressed with the rear ARB and new tyres on the way. Much better car in every way and feels a lot more planted due to extra downforce. Awesome mate, is that a chopped sticker at the back? Yep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Seen a few on my commutes in heavy traffic, but not yet come across one being driven with anything like full beans, I'd like to follow one and then have the traffic clear ahead and for it to leave me just to see one at full chat and see the gap it opens up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The traction and sheer cornering ability takes some getting used to. Stunning car mate, i'd dread to foot the bills for the upgrades though ! Anything you miss from Supra days? Yea, I'm already £20k in and I've only had it 3 months Nothing to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
