- Are u serious?
Just came across this thread now! Didnt know it was here but wanted to share what I had seen in the last couple of months... 
This is a couple of pics of a GTR before it was officially released here... Its been filled with stickers because it was used in a Time Attack competition in the Pro Street category with Tom Coronel as the driver... same driver that set the Ring record in the ACR Viper...
I saw this car while I was coming back from break, cruising around the parking lot at my work. The man inside was from a Nissan dealer and coming to visit Compuware (Sponsor maybe??) The GTR was imported by Nissan High Performance Center Visscher here in Amsterdam.
I know Im cheesing... I was happy to finally see one..
Little clip of GTR
The next little clip I have is of a Wiesmann GT I believe? I'm not sure which one it is... but I saw it when me and a buddy were on our way to The Hague.... Damn nice looking ride!

Could be? I found all that stuff out when I saw the car and looked up some of the stuff on the internet. It could be that its being entered in the UK timeattack... not far from here...

Tom Coronel isn't listed down on the entry list but it doesn't have cars listed yet just drivers.

Then I dont think it will be entered there then... unless theyre using a different driver. All in all I dont think you have to worry about this car entering

That was the RC Developments car (The guys with the DayGlo Evos).
For a standard car it did pretty well, fairly safe to say that a GT-R modified to the same standard/level as the Time Attack UK front-runners would smash lap records, if not storm the entire championship.
I imagine something as simple as some R888s would make it pretty potent around most Time Attack UK locations.

Not this year it wouldn't a GTR wouldn't have a hope in hell against Andy Gallacher's focus which is entered this year.
A fully-modified GT-R would give Gallacher's Focus more than a run for its money. It's a plain fact if you look at how well the Japanese tuners are getting on with their GT-Rs.

We don't get Skylines here. I hardly see anything good here. Mostly I see crap cars like Cobalts and Escorts, and tons of trucks. (There is a kid in some of my classes that loves Cobalts, and we almost got in a fight about Camaro vs. Mustang. I was on Chevy's side, of course. He's clearly a complete idiot.) I haven't seen anything good today, anyway.I'd be happy to see any Skyline at least.. I once saw an R32 and an R33 in England when I was on class trip.. Other that that there were many Rolls Royce's and Ferrari's, but here, where I live, there aren't such expensive cars to be seen..
In case you don't know what a Cobalt is, it's a little four-cylinder car that to me is ugly, but this dude I mentioned earlier thinks they're good-looking. Think your small cars, but half as fun to drive and half as refined.
Still waiting for that festival and car show!

I know what his Focus has, hence why i'm stating a high-tuned, stripped, dipped and prepped GT-R would embarrass most Time Attack UK participants.

Rue - you got some hyper car porn there. The first monster WXR (is monster an expression or a tuner?) has one of the best kits I've seen for the new STI. The second is kitted JDM, and I love the air intake in the headlight. I also noticed there was a "Powerhouse Aumse" sticker on the bumper of the second one(seen in the first moster WRX pic).
I love the JUN evo and the Veilside kitted RX7 too.
You notice I'm more commenting on the Japanese stuff bacause I see the european stuff everyday and although I prefer it, I looove JDM tuned cars.
If you go into the western suburbs of sydney, you can find Evos and WRXs on steroids among other high powerd japanese imports - that's where they hang out.
Or you can find this. The plates are "NSX GT" and its an award winning show car that I have seen on the roads a few times. Last time was this last sunday. Granted, I didn't take it, but here is a pic.
Mods include wide body kit, reeeaaallly dip dish volk rims, extensive engine upgrades (at cruise, it has the same high pitched noise as the JDGT race cars) and it cruises around with the roof off on nice days. I saw it for sale on a website, the guys selling it complete with the Castrol sponsorship as well as others.

Who would have thought it, a vauxhall more powerful than a lp560-4,f430 and a DBS...

Been to Bangkok on a few occassions but unluckily didn't see many nice cars. Though I know there is an awesome supercar club there with many, many amazing cars. Singapore was not bad, a lot of Lamborghinis and a few GTR's here and there.
Outside of Japan, Hong Kong is definately the best place in Asia for seeing exotics and tuned cars. Japanese modified cars are 10-a-penny here. I don't normally photograph/post them as if I photographed every extensively modified car here I would have a sore arm! Funny you should mention Cefiros, as there are many here too almost all modified into some kind of drift machine. In fact I would say 1 in every 3 cars has some kind of aftermarket modification here. People are just mad on cars. As a quick thought, my village alone has two Brabus Mercs, two Integra Type-R's, two heavily modified WRX's, two SL55 AMG's, an M3 CSL, two 993 Carreras, a modified MR-S, JDM Civic-R (the new one), 4 Skyline GT-T sedans, two Toyota Chasers, an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, a Rolls Royce Silver Spirit II, a Toyota Supra, a Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution, a Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary, a Jaguar XK120, a Mercedes 190SL, a Mercedes 430SL, an original Mini Cooper, a Morris Minor, a Humber, a ridiculous Evo VII that wakes me up in the morning and a Panther Kallista in a bush. And there are about 100 houses in my village. I'm liking the ratio!
No just how I described them. I think the tuning company is Crazy-R, they may have a website. I think they may be a distributer for Amuse, I dunno.

I wish I had a camera with me when I saw those rides... I always saw them when I went clubbing in Bangkok... I was also standing in a parking garage there near a club with a lot of tuned Japanese cars, Mercs, BMWs, and Exotics... I was really surprised! They even sell high performance vehicles in a shopping mall in Bangkok Siam Paragon! Lambos, Porsches, Lotus and even MTM was there with a few Audis.... Check this:
I was walking through that mall like, "What??? All these cars are just being sold here??" The amount of exotics you have in your town is pretty insane.... Do you live in one of the wealthier areas?? Or is it just everywhere there??

So, an ST220 estate, nothing too special but I thought it was worthy of a snap because ST220 aren't all that common and the estate adds to the sleeper look...
..except, after following it for 1/2 a mile it did some crazy overtaking, only helped by the fact there was a buslane on the opposite side of the road. And then the blue lights came on.
100 yards further down the road and it had pulled over a chav'd up ricer that was at the traffic lights with us nearly a mile back.
That's another undercover police car to add to the list that also contains; Honda Civic; Saab 9-5; Range Rover Sport and an Evo IX.
