2007 JDM Skyline 370GT

Here's some details of my Toyota Skyline 370GT (for those that can read the Japanese license plate )

I bought this car about 2 months ago. It came looking like this:



First thing I did was get rid of those rims and fix the camber a bit. I managed to find a second hand pair of the stock 19s.
At this point, it had the following mods:
  • RSR black i coilovers
  • Painted red interior
  • Factory option Fujitsubo axleback muffler
  • 10,000K HIDs
  • Tinted headlights
  • Blacked out tailights



After doing a Gymkhana event here in Japan, I realised that car was way too quiet. This lead to me ordering a set of R2C intakes from the US, which haven't arrived yet. That opened up the floodgates a little, and I also ordered an Impul front lip, a Cusco strut brace (should be here in a couple of days), and found a second-hand Amuse R1 Titan Extra exhaust.

Took these pictures last night, playing around with the new DSLR:




Amuse titanium exhaust just arrived today (on a Saturday!) at 12pm, and was on the car by 1.30pm



No pictures of the exhaust on the actual car yet, it's been raining today.

I'll try and post up some pics tomorrow, as well as a video or two (bought a video camera headrest mount, which arrived today too. Gotta love the Japanese postal service)

I think they were built in 2007 but for the 2008 year. Japan calls them 2007, US says 2008.

The license plate says Toyota, because the car is registered in Toyota City

side markers.... they look like they've been smoked.

OP... are you planning on getting new wheels? If not, yours could use some spacers.

^^ yep...that's 1 way of knowing of a true "skyline". They are on both sides, the one pic you can barely see it from the light reflection.

Sorry, realised the first post was a bit confusing. The picture is of the Amuse titanium exhaust. The fujistubo ones are now sitting in my spare room. Edited the first post to make it a bit clearer

I'm researching wheels now. Probably won't get it for a few months though. Atm, I'm leaning towards Advan RZ-DF, or TE37SL, whichever I can find in good second-hand condition. Gotta love the Japanese and their constant need to own new things

Both nice wheel choice. Just how cheap can you get them used over there anyways?
I'm in Guam (only about 3-4 hours by plane away and I don't mind flying there to pick up some JDM goodies) Where in Japan are you?
