I thought this day would never come but I am selling my MX :( With two kids the need for a four seater became inevitable so this is my new ride:

If you want a perfect NA8 then have a look in the for sale section soon.

Nice pick up. I'm sure you'll enjoy the new ride :P

Nice to see you didn't go for a Honda Jazz or something like that.

I've been contemplating selling as well to buy a bike + more practical car.

Such a hard choice.

Shame to see your car go. Haven't seen it for ages, but it was great when I last saw it.

Update on my Skyline if your interested. Still miss my NA8. Will get one again.

Went to sydney Motorsport park in November. Unfortunately it was 37degrees but with some octane boost it handled 18psi and 7000+ rpm changes without any drama. I got there late so had to go in the beginner group. Everyone was very slow so easily carved up the usual array of golfs, hsvs and Evo/ wrx except for a nice 240z and Evo 9 which took a little longer to pass. Did get sent off the track by an idiot in a golf r. He was with an instructor and he waved me to the right of him at 190km/h in turn 1 but then pulled in front of me forcing me onto the gravel at 170km/h :/. He apologised but it could of been nasty if I did not keep it straight.

On go semi slicks

Shared garage with time attack gtr

Off road excursion killed power steering belt which made for an exciting lap on the next run... Fixed with gates belt

Nice run along putty road in January. Still my favourite.

Nice to have the sparco track seat still in for this run. Note my daughters baby seat! Very helpful when hwy patrol pull you over for the 10th time in January. Engineer cert getting quite a workout.

Got to love this 23 year old engineering. Almost triple factory boost, 180,000 hard kms, uses no oil and sings to 8000rpm.

A few recent pics. Note carbon boot. 17x9s now on the front and new 17x9.5s on back. Aero mirrors.
