GT-R in the States?

[soon2bs13]

I about creamed in my pants today!! I am going to give you guys the full story. After my appointment I went to pick up my stepdad from an audio shop, he was getting a CD player installed in his Datsun 1600. During the ride home, I had to stop by the storage unit and pay the bill. So, I am coming up to pull out onto the road, there was traffic and many cars, but only ONE caught my attention. I see the tail lights and think...hm... I am going to catch up because I think that is a SKYLINE!!

Disclaimer: i now know that this was not a skyline but the GT-R. but my first initial thought was skyline.

So I pull out, and there are about 10 cars ahead of me from confirming my suspicion. I bob in and out for a quick minute, my stepdad is telling me to slow down because of a police going the opposite direction (but my speedometer is off for some reason) and we come up to this redlight. I am in the right hand lane and switch into the left lane. The golden car is in the right hand lane and I saw a Dual Exhaust, wing, and also noticed TWO badges that were covered up. The one on the center of the trunk and the other one on right passenger rear next to the tail light. They were in the shape of a circle and square, which confirmed my suspicion!!!

I pulled up to see the driver, which he looked at me, and I was cheesing from ear to ear and gave him the thumbsup and he nodded. It was CLEAN. The doorhandles were also covered up. My stepdad said, ''Look at the size of those calipers", which I could not see.

I dropped it into third gear to see if I could provoke him a bit. We were in heavy traffic, so I was not expecting anything, but just in case. I could not hear his engine for the sexy roar of my A3 ready to race. I get to his head light and see it blinking, because he was wanting to get over, so I give it a little throttle and see the front end of this monster. OMG!! It was sex on wheels.

My street is coming up and I decide to just go home, but not without pulling out my cellphone and snapping a picture. The picture is bad, because there was a delay and I was lucky enough to get what I did. Looking back, I wish I would have kept going and to see if I could have provoked a race and be the first EP to race one. I do not have a memory stick to get the picture onto my laptop or anything, so if someone would like for me to text them the picture so it can be posted on here, that would be great!!

[CAPoweredS14]

Good thing your not the ambassador

[Brian]

uhhhhhh, NOT going to race you.

What the hell.


that one was seen and there are some other pics of it at a ..... Wendy's I think. Has black tape or something over the emblems.


its a COOL color!

[cruque]

!!NO WAY!!. bro you saw an angel

[brndck]

not a skyline...

then what was it?
all i know is i can't wait til one gets delivered to connell nissan, across the street from my work. i'll hafta take the rest of the day off and go make sexings on it.

[Brian]

the new one is not called skyline
simply... GTR


for whatever reason

[trybal]

they are just called "GT-R" now, not skyline, but we all know its a skyline lol

I read that since the car was completely redesigned from the ground up they felt it was a completely different car and not a skyline anymore.. hence GTR

[civilized_drifter]

where in tn did you see it?

[soon2bs13]

forgive the ignorance of the name. but who cares? lol

i was lucky enough to get this picture, otherwise, it would be claimed as "BS"...

[brndck]

oic. whutev. still an "R" chassis. still badass.

[2fast240]

The rear end almost looks like a lotus

[WISH ONE]

hahaha i get to pdi the THE SEXYNESS!

[soon2bs13]

where in tn did you see it?

Murfreesboro.

oooh. well, i at least got the Title right. lol.

[Tearlessj]

Murfreesboro.

Hmmm, Im ganna see if anyone at the dealership knows anything. lol

[soon2bs13]

Hmmm, Im ganna see if anyone at the dealership knows anything. lol

that is funny you mention that. as soon as we got in and i exploded in the bathroom. i called up Stones River Nissan and talked to a person in Sales. he said that the GT-R is not even suppose to be in the states because they are still testing and it would not go to smyrna or anything like that. he then told me the 25,000 markup that they were anticipating. don't forget the 80,000+ price tag.

he tried to get me to believe that i may have seen the 4 door Altima or whatever, and i told him it was the GT-R COUPE...lol

but he was strong about saying that the GT-R is not suppose to be here yet.

[racer98]

that is funny you say that. i called up Stones River Nissan after i exploded in the bathroom and the Sales Person was very certain that the GT-R was not suppose to be in the states yet because they were still testing it in Japan and that he does not believe that any of them would go to the Nissan Plant in Smyrna. he did mention that i may have seen the New Altima (4 door). he did mention that they were going to have a $25,000 markup on top of the $80,000+ price tag. so look at 100,000+ for the GT-R.

oops, sorry about the double post, my computer is acting up and i thought i lost the above post so i did it again...


Extensive R&D work on the car before it goes on sale. Nissan HQ is in TN now so you get to see all of the cool goodys and soon the Silvia will be rolling aorund out there.

[soon2bs13]

yeah. Nissan HQ is in Nashville. the main plant for Nissan down here is in Smyrna. i am going to call up my brothers g/f's dad since he works there and see what he can tell me. maybe he can get a family discount...lol

[20 til 3]

they dont call them skylines because the skyline is a g35, and still in japan its called a nissan skyline 350gt

so, instead of going off(not the best chassis) g35/350z's for awd power, they built a monster car just to keep the gtr alive

[iwishiwas-all*]

i coulda sworn i saw a red one tonite in miami on the highway, u never know.

[CursedGTR]

i coulda sworn i saw a red one tonite in miami on the highway, u never know.

They are already on the road here in Japan. Hell one already got sold at a used car dealership because the guy bought, then could not afford the payments. Doubt there is much more R&D to be done, probably just a matter of getting them off the boats or trucks or whatever is being used to transport them.

[whitecomet]

Looks like a gray Chev. Cobalt. Up here in MN there is a R33 silver, right hand drive skyline. But that guy is an @$$.

[ROUGE180]

Are they going to be LHD for the states? Looks LHD in the pic. Either way nice find!!! GOJIRA IS HERE!!!

[racer98]

sure it was not an Impala ?

[civilized_drifter]

ya i live 10 minutes from the HQ they are building. i get some pics of it.and i cant wait till nissan's coming home in franklin/cool springs

[soon2bs13]

LHD was the one i saw.

sure it was not an Impala ?

no, but it could have been a ford pinto. since those look almost alike. if it was an Impala, i would not be wasting yalls time...lol

ya i live 10 minutes from the HQ they are building. i get some pics of it.and i cant wait till nissan's coming home in franklin/cool springs

where did they decide to build it?

[PoorMans180SX]

Oh dear.

Of course they're going to be LHD in the states. They're being made for US sale.

That's a GTR in the pic. No doubt.

Nice first encounter. I can't wait to see one in real life.

[OptionZero]

first time you saw the gt-r on the streets and the first reaction is to try and race it

sigh

[SR20d2fourT]

first time you saw the gt-r on the streets and the first reaction is to try and race it

sigh

No shit. LOL. If I drove that GT-R and you did that to me I'd meet you at a stop sign, take out my white glove and slap you.

[whereda40at]

some thing like this happend to me but when scion was about to come out. it was before anyone had even heard of a scion and me and my dad where driving near in industral park where toyotas part distrabution center is close to. we saw the xa tc and the xb all in white, in the back and it said. "check us out at scion.com" on the back window. so i went online and checked them out and it said coming soon to a dealer near you in xx/xx. (cant remember it was a long time ago) and it was about 7 or 8 months away from then.

i was stoked about that but shit. i think spotting and gettin a pic of the gtr is bad ass. nice shit

[soon2bs13]

first time you saw the gt-r on the streets and the first reaction is to try and race it

sigh

no, that was not my first reaction. i gave him a thumbs up, smiled, thought about following him to talk to him, but decided to take a quick picture and then go home and thought it would be a cool story if i did happen to race one. so your tellin me, that if you saw a GT-R, R34, S15, DC5-R, EP3-R, etc. etc. you would not have tried to see what those cars could do? sure, i have seen the vid's and numbers, but if you would have just got the picture and waved, and not try to race, ur crazy... and it is not like i was blowing off on him or anything, i just down shifted just in case he wanted to play.

No shit. LOL. If I drove that GT-R and you did that to me I'd meet you at a stop sign, take out my white glove and slap you.

i am sure you would have. but again, my car is not stock and it would have been a good run... i am not saying i would have pulled on one, but i wouldn't have got yanked...

i made this thread for a neat story and have the picture to make it 10 trillion times better. either like it or not, it happened... i am sorry that it was not you and you were not able to buy him McD's and chit chat for a while...

we did not race, but what a hell of a story that would have been...first person to possibly beat or get beat by a GT-R... HAHAHA...

[OptionZero]

but not the first person to be completely stupid

yes, someone driving one of the few GT-R's states would bother with a dolt like you, much less in something as lame as street racing

[soon2bs13]

well, good thing you do not know me. i may care. i doubt i could have gone to the track and this pull up next to me. it is a funny story with a rare picture of a GT-R on the street which i was not expecting to see this in my normal day. if you do not like the story, skip to the picture. :)

[OptionZero]

there have been other pictures of the GT-R

it's not rare cuz you took it, it's not rare cuz it was taken in the streets, it's not even particularly high quality

its only value is whatever excitement you felt from taking it, and frankly, that's pretty damn worthless to the rest of the world

it is rare because it was in TN, not everyone lives in Cali and sees cool cars everyday, so to see a gem like the GT-R on the streets in murfreesboro is exciting. if you do not care then GTFO and STFU. next time, i will have my tripod and my digital camera with me to get top notch quality and magazine worthy shots for you, douche!!

[jbuckley]

wow , how random . i bet you were THRILLED lol
i woulda loved to see that on the streets !

hmm...there is an idea, i did not think of writing a blog.

you are really full of yourself and just full of negativity.. i hope you get pulled over in your ride and they impound it and send it to the junk yard to be demolished and make you drive a toyota prius.

go jump on the freeway:bow:

[OptionZero]

Just because you're stupid and I pointed it out does not make me negative- merely observant.

I won't get pulled over and impounded because I don't try to "provoke" cars on the street like an asshole.

I'm also smart enough to realize that the Prius is a fraud.

okay, it is obvious that i do not like you and you do not like me. but to send me your bookmarked page on suicide does not make me look bad, but makes me want to help you. i suggest you seek professional help. it is okay, i forgive you. you are a very special person and have soo much to look forward to in your youth. do not let anyone tell you otherwise. :ughug: it is okay, we are your friends. you can talk to us, we will listen... but if you feel like you have no other choice, we understand. :wavey:

[Z33dori]

i know im a lil late...

but the rumor is they are testing the GTR out on Tail of the Dragon....


its been spotted 2-3 times now in between Kentucky and Tenn.....

i guess they are just getting in the final testing before its US debut...


and if the one hte OP say was a funky brown color, than yes it was an actual US SPEC LHD GTR......

[ROIDMONKEY]

fixed. apoligize

ur not late at all. that is cool to know. it was not a funky brown color, i do not know the exact paint color, but it was like a metallic silver/gray.

do not let Option see that they are testing it on the TOTD, he may not like the fact that they are gonna go fast on such a dangerous road which has a higher chance of causing an accident than going on a straight road.

it is okay Option, we still care...:wavey:

[civilized_drifter]

where did they decide to build it?

if you take 840 to 65 and go north twords franklin/nashville. you will pass murfreesboro/96 and go 2 more miles and you will see it after a big ass new bridge and it will be on the right

that is cool. i will have to check it out.

[ROIDMONKEY]

BTW i dont think ur sig option is 400x125 bro? is it?, civilized not even close

[soon2bs13]

BTW i dont think ur sig option is 400x125 bro? is it?, civilized not even close

i dunno. i did not think that it had to be a certain size. it is just couple of random words stringed together. no pics or anything with boobs/butts/etc. i use to have the :bigok: but i guess ppl thought i was giving neg reps. but i did that as being sarcastic because ppl would give those out for stupid reasons. so with the newer one, it makes a strong point to the other ppl who think neg repping is cool...

[ROIDMONKEY]

dont give a fuck on neg rep stupid crap . FUCK IT nite nite , love u guys

[soon2bs13]

night!! enjoyed it.

[xturboexpress]

Man. There are some serious internet-tuff-guys here.

Nice find... I like the design of the GT-R more from that crappy cell phone pic than any of the magazine or studio shots I've seen.

As for racing it, maybe not, but letting him know you want to hear it wound up - this I condone. =)

[OptionZero]

Blue is different from black.

[status:one]

God I hope we don't get one of these threads everyday when the GTR is released.

[RedStage]

Saw this back on 11 DEC here in Yokohama....GT-R is gorgeous.

It was on the other side of the median and I HAD to pull a u-turn to go see it. You'll note the other GT-Rs there and the 350Z..but who cares about those ;)

Oh, and my S14 hiding behind the red truck :)

OptionZero: I swear every post you make here on zilvia is a negative one. Please keep your negative opinions to yourself because I highly doubt anyone really approves of it. If you don't like someone's post, then just ignore it.

[Phlip]

Part of me wants to delete all the off-topic posts from this thread, then merge it into the existing GTR thread.
That would be more work than is necessary, I am just going to lock this before anyone else decides to want to argue.
