twin turbo?

 

[BrianG]

Thanks! And si, twin turbo, active aero, all wheel steering, all wheel drive. The "active exhaust" equipment was removed to drop a ton of weight.

Is that a common, known issue with the headlights?

The car looks awesome, but I hope you are trying to fix the doors...

 

[Euro]

Is that a common, known issue with the headlights?

That's a mod you can do to make the headlight motors be disabled in that spot at all times, giving it that "sleepy" eye sort of look. Looks pretty badass when driving behind you at night

Nice ride, always thought that design was ahead of its time.

 

[CamaroSS]

very nice

That's pretty awesome. I've never seen that before.

Thanks for swinging in for me Euro! I got the car with the sleepy eyes look and kinda liked it so I kept it. I still have the lenses which you can see in one of the pics, but I just keep the motors disconnected. They look better at night too without the headlights all the way up.

I don't plan on ever getting rid of it. I'm not really the type to pick up a car I don't plan on keeping forever. Thats why I still have the GP!

"Slider, you stink." JK! Sorry, Top Gun Reference, but anyways, yeah I agree. Theres so much stuff on this car that was never really necessary for a driver car but its pretty cool to have it. Unfortunately, by the end of its US run, it was priced ahead of its time too.

IDAFC21 - I can't take all the credit for that. I've only had it for the last year and have done everything in my power to keep it in as good of condition as when I picked it up. I've got a great body guy and the previous owner took amazing care of it. I'm just doing the same! Thank you tho!!!

You know Eric Black?

Sharp car, Remind me... what does the active aero on those cars do again?

 

[BrianG]

Nope, dont know an Eric Black. He on here? 3S owner?

The active Aero activates the wing and lower air dam over 45mph and down to 25mph when slowing. When it activates, the air dam behind the front bumper drops down making the car about 2-3" lower in front and the wing tilts forward giving it ~20 degrees of angle or so. I don't think I have any pictures of it on right now but if I come across some, I'll post up.

 

[Mook]

its the same thing the original skylines did (pre r32). front air dram drops. its pretty cool

 

[BrianG]

Didnt know the skylines had that, pretty cool! Heres a couple pics of the Active Aero at work. The front air dam is hard to see but you can kinda see the edge of it on the right side below the bumper.

Rebel - Whats wrong with my doors? Am I missing another reference from Saturday night?

 

[Fish]

Not a fan of the sleepy eye look. Other then that, sweet car.

He owns one of the few VR-4 Spyders in IL, lives in naperville area, worked/works for Circut City.

Its got the... 99? front end conversion, a viper hood, and is black.

and the active aero is slick

 

[BrianG]

Oh good god that car must be sweet!!! There were so few of the VR-4 Spyders built! I'm so jealous! And yes, its the 99 front end conversion. I love the way it looks but don't have any plans to do that to mine. I like the pop up headlights and the slightly boxier look to the front end. I'm gonna have to meet your buddy and see his car. Get him on here!

 

[RebelGTP]

Rebel - Whats wrong with my doors? Am I missing another reference from Saturday night?

no no... I thought that you still had them hooked up and that they didn't shut flush. I didn't know about the "Sleepy eye" look...

I am glad that you aren't sporting the "Pink Eye" look though...

Ironically, a client of mine at work drives a red 9...6? VR-4 Spyder also, lives in northbrook IIRC? Only 2 I've ever seen are his and Erics.

Erics car is pretty infamous IIRC, I'll see if I cant find a pic.
