All these talks about the new GTR.....

I had to fly back to Hong Kong for some family issues. Met up with a good friend of mine who took delivery of the new GTR. We had the pleasure of going out for a cruise.

Here's the key for the GTR. The other key in my hand is for a Nissan luxury minivan Elgrand. They are the same shape except for the buttons and logos:

Here's the car:

Me getting ready to roll out:

Really not a bad car at all. Very nice finishes. The car is meant to be driven at speed tho, since in city stop-and-go traffic, transmission is jerky. Suspension is very stiff, even we set it to "comfort" mode but it's still very bumpy.

Didn't have the pleasure to go anywhere close to the limit. It can only be done in a race track.

Hey....I hope everything is well.

Glad you got a chance to enjoy yourself a little.

I still think cars like this are stupid in Hong Kong

Looks nice, I love it in the dark grey as the body matches better IMO. To bad he couldn't do some WOT shifts for you.

I bet he paid it out right too. Japanese/Chinese really dont finance/take loans usually. Baller! The GTR is really nice, but I'm sick of hearing about it

LUCKY!!!

I honestly think that this gen of GTR is one of the sexiest and most capable cars in history. Simply beautiful.

take it out in the wee hours of the morning at night like the HK gangsters do and tear up the streets.

two years ago when i was there, after we left the airport and hit the highway or whatever really late, this ferrari and japanese import of some kind totally ripped right by our taxi... it was like a scene right out of tokyo racing or midnight racing... whatever those car games are called

what a thrill.

That must have cost him a grip in HK. Who cares if he can't open it up? HK is all about status anyway...

Grip for sure....

Is that the Super Silver paint or titanium metallic ? i.e. the $3K option? Doesn't look so shiny in your pics.... thought it looked more like...
