Default She's here! She's mine! 2006 GT R-Tune













She's got every S-tune part and every R-Tune part, minus the front lip spoiler (no 06 yet), and floor mats (no 06 yet..lol). Volk TE-37 Gunmetal 19x10.5 w/ Potenza SO-3 285/30 rear and 19x9.5 245/35 front. Tinted, Zaino'd... done. What you see here is how the car was ordered and delivered through Nissan of McKinney.

Fantastic dealership. So far everything has been top-notch, A+++. The service guys are great. Very knowledgeable. I think every single person in the sales and service areas must have come by to congratulate me and tell me how everyone has been drooling over (not on) this car.

More to come when the weather improves…

I have to keep it under 5k for now… but you can feel that cam. It’s night and day from the test drives I’ve taken. But it’s smooth. It’s not a noisy motor. It’s all intake and exhaust…valvetrain noise is almost non-existant.

Ride is fantastic too. I was worried the suspension would be too harsh fort he wife but I think this is perfect.

The 1.5 LSD chatters at ya if you bring on the gas in the wrong gear. It makes for a humorous balance on city streets while I’m in break-in. But I can tell you that this car wants to be above 5k. I spun the tires twice on the way home and had no intention at all! Kinda neat really…you hear them spin but you don’t feel it. Car just keeps turning. :irock:

Lots more to come... while the rain soaks Dallas this weekend I'll be sitting in the garage putting the last 5 months of forum education to applied use. I've got a lot of Xmas presents waiting to go on as well (Fairlady emblem, Gtech Pro RR, etc.).


Cheers,
-Smoky

Very nice. I was told by someone at Nissan not to run the Nismo cams because the new revup engine has a different "more aggressive" cam already and it would cause problems. I guess they didn't know what they were talking about. I have the new Nismo floor mats as well. They are nice.

Looks fantastic, BUT with all the dealer addon/installs.....I bet it costed you an arm and a leg.

I'm guessing 45K+ (not including tax)

Besides, what model is it?
