Default G'Day from Australia, my Limited Edition ITR!

Hello from down under! The name is Daniel. My journey for the perfect ITR began a couple of years ago, while i was growing old of my EG Civic w/ B18c2 in it, dont get me wrong, it was fun but i wanted something newer. I found my first ITR (red) at a car dealership for cheap and i couldnt believe it, so i grabbed it. Sold it a couple of months later as i wanted a better condition one with lower ks and a different colour. SO i had my eyes set on a CW JDM 98 spec, but gave up on that as they were too rare and aussies cannot import them. I then gave up on being able to find the one i want, so i decided to look at the Nissan S15, test drove a few, was impressed by the power, but it didnt give me the rawness and pure driving experience the ITR did.

I then came across this, although i told myself i would never go interstate for a car, i made an exception as this was probably THE best ITR i have ever layed my eyes upon. It had everything I wanted, Limited Edition, Sunlight Yellow, low kms, well looked after and the ultra rare yellow recaros! It was suppose to be featured in motor magazine last year, but i didnt have the time to drive it interstate which is where the article/photo shoot was taken place.

It is all stock standard apart from Comptech Ice box, Headers, 2.5" Fujitsubu Exhaust, Tein suspension and soon to be tuned on Hondata S300.

MORE PICS PAGE 4!

Enjoy

Back in Sept 05 at the NOPI show in Atl me and the wife met the coolest guy from Aussieland that was staying at the same motel we stayed at every year. He showed me pics of his EK9, ITR and R34. That's when he began to depress me ny telling me all the differences of our USDM R's compared to what I call the "DUM" (Down-Under-Market). Never understood why other countries got most of the "cool stuff" and we here in the states have to import it with such a heavy price tag attached to it.

Nevertheless, that car is still a sweet machine to look at.

In a perfect world we can drive bad *** integras like this anywhere. Anytime. Without worry about our cars getting stolen. For instance. To the beach!

Question is do the Aussies have to worry about theft as much as we do here in the states?

Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed the shots, clean ITR too.

I will say though WTF are you thinking with those painted OE AP1 S2000 wheels though and painted red calipers?

That **** looks terrible.

nope. The Honda scene from where i am in Australia, is non existant. The streets are so over run by nissan fanbois who are so narrow minded, Hondas do not get respect. I still worry about where i park though due to it being one of the best looking ITR's in aussie or if someone scratches it.

No way, thats sonic! I like to think Sonic and my ITR handle the same lol.

Your the first person to say something negative about the wheels, everywhere i have been and got compliments have been about the wheels. The yellow and black combo work a treat! It works really well when driving, because through the black wheels you see the silver brake rotors and red caliper through the black blurr...looks awesome!

Thanks for all the replies! Glad you like it. Feel free to show your friends
