Here is more info on Shin's GTR.

http://www.prospec-ms.co.uk/demo/mines.html

Awesome!

He's a pretty cool guy, always willing to offer advise/answer any questions you might have. Although he admits he doesn't know much about Evo's, but will try his best to offer advise. Now if your talking Skylines on the other hand...

It was a beautiful GT-R R34 in a wonderful green color with only a handful of units produced. The "N" stands for Nurenburg (sp?), that ever so famous German road course. It was tuned for that specifically. Just a really interesting machine I thought.

To much money for to be able to have a sticker on your car ...plus, the width of the strut braces and the dimensions of the front of an Evo and a Lancer are different...it's highly doubtful it'll fit.

Mine's is interested performance cars from the Japanese market, not an econobox like the Lancer. I'm 99.9% sure you won't see anything from then. And pleeeeeease stop using all caps...annoying.

Wow you guys are very confused! I don't blame you though....a lot of people, including reputable magazines, talk so much ****e about GTRs, it really makes me laugh at times!

The N-spec GTR you are reffering is actually called the Nur spec. It indeed stands for Nurburgring, where the R32/33/34 were all tested for suspension/handling set-up.

Only 1000Nur cars are being made. All orders were snapped up in 3 days. Production started last month and the first bunch of cars have already been delivered. 75% of the Nur cars were V-specII Nur while the rest were M-spec Nur.
These cars are special because they use the N1 engine and turbines, the same one used in Gr.N racing. This means a stronger engine block, bigger water/oil pumps, forged conrods & pistons and a balanced crank. The N1 turbines are still made by Garrett, but the compressor & housing is a few mm bigger than the standard items. Also no ceramic is used in the costructions which means they can sustain more than the 1.14bar of the standard ceramics. The only thing that suffers is the pick-up...slightly more lag. With very few modifications this engine can reach 550bhp...
Other special Nur stuff is the 300km/h speedo, gold engine cover, gold chassis plaque & the Nur rear badge.....and the higher price of course

If you are wondering what the difference between the V-specII & the M-spec are click here: (written by yours truly )

Oh I forgot....

Mine's only does parts for performance cars.

If anyone really wants Mine's stickers we can arrange a group buy or something. I go there at least once a month so it's not a really big deal for me....
They make 4 different types. If you're interested in the signature-type one they make them in 2 sizes. Colors are white, blue, red, silver & gold.

I'm going to pretend you meant automobile and not automatic transmission.
