Gone to the dark side. **PICS ADDED**

Post by madeofmilo »

Hello fellow Starion owners.

I have gone over to the dark side.

Yes I have bought one of those woeful Nissans.

A top secret engineering GTR R33 V - Spec.

Beautiful car, amazing to drive.

P.S - Starion for sale.

My JA has perfect motor - FMIC - forgies - high flow head but...rusted front guards and keyed on every panel. Time to get serious or time to take it to the tip.

Rack and pinion steering is so much better, no more steering box.
Shame Nissan's are so common.

So, are we going to have to start calling you "Captain" now you've bought the S.S. R33? :D

R33 GTR's are the best of the GTR's IMO!

Nice buy.

I had a long hard think about a R33 myself a few years back. I think they're wrongly berated by some. I like the shape and yours seems to have some nice fruit in it. Well done :beer

Seriously, it looks good mate. What size are the wheels? They look a little small?
