ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 4m 10d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 08/12/07 03:24 AM Share Posted 08/12/07 03:24 AM I am wavering on getting the GTR.My brother who lives in Japan checked one out for me and said there is no way I would fit in it and be able to use it as a daily driver.He knows that I would also track the car, and that it would be impossible to drive it with a helmet on. I am 195cm and 130kg, so I think Nissan has not takein into account the larger drivers.I will keep the order in as I am one of the first 10 people who placed an order, so I might be able to sell my slot or buy the car and onsell it for a tidy profit. I still live in hope they will release the GTR BB for us Big Bastards, but I do not like my chances Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/39069-new-gtr-breaks-covers/page/15/#findComment-606133 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I read in the same article from the Herald above your going to have a hard time finding a Nissan Dealer capable of servicing these in Oz....

(although I can't see that happening!) hope fully we'll see some modified ones there too, I'll throw a few updates on the forum while I'm there Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/39069-new-gtr-breaks-covers/page/15/#findComment-606151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
