neil97rs Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Hi all just joined the forums Got myself a V5 type R inbound from the land of the rising sun will be here in 2 weeks time been a tense few months finding it buying it then waiting for it to make the slow trip over. Boat is currently in Turkey I got the keys and all the paperwork for it 2 weeks ago 3
Jay762 Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Wotcha and welcome - do want a type r myself so quite the little green eyed monster on my shoulder . Has it had any mods completed - are you planning any yourself?
neil97rs Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 As for modifications its got some Basic exhaust ,induction , BOV ETc Blitz suspension, Recaro seats, Ecu ( which will need looking at when it gets here) not sure if its remappable . Mechanical 2 way lsd Brembo;s Few other bits and pieces but will need to go over it when it gets here As for any planned by myself New ECU if needed for safe mapping rather than power. I would be happy with 300 Bhp Then get it registered and on the road. Will see what i want to do after that if anything but im more than happy to spend money on getting it running correctly over huge power gains Oh and change the terrible gear stick surrond it has 1
Jay762 Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Thats a sensible shopping list there - keep us posted
GeoffLeggy Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Welcome! That will def stand out! Great car. Look forward to more pics when it arrives.
savage bulldogs Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Hi n welcome. Lovely looking type r you've got there If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊
neil97rs Posted June 22, 2016 Author Posted June 22, 2016 You will definately see it coming. Hoping to have it fully registered by end of July to get to a few shows, Original plan was to have it ready for Japshow on 10th July but not going to be registered in time so will possibly take it up on a trailer as the map will be checked etc and run it on the 1/4 mile will look for a 13s run see what breaks and fix it for the next show Are you guys having a stand at Japshow?
GeoffLeggy Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Sounds good! Least you get to play with it. Yes we have a stand, quite a few going
neil97rs Posted June 22, 2016 Author Posted June 22, 2016 Is it possible to get a pass for the stand? Who do i need to message for that? Excuse my lack of knowing anyone here
GeoffLeggy Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 @Gambit is your man and I think there were a couple spare.
quit Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 yellow type R v5 is my ideal scoob !! i would love to import one
neil97rs Posted June 22, 2016 Author Posted June 22, 2016 The process so far has been pretty straight forward. Not required me doing much apart from paying money and waiting
