Motor Trend : Farewell 2009
Angus MacKenzie, editor of Motor Trend Magazine posted up a few of his favorite cars of 2009, and the Nissan GT-R made his list.
This is what he had to say.
Speaking of character, here's an excerpt from a blog I wrote after hustling our long-term GT-R from LA to Vegas -- the long way -- for the SEMA Show last month: "The coolly calculated Nissan GT-R may not have the rosso romance of a Ferrari Daytona, the charming idiosyncrasy of a Porsche 911, or the aw-shucks muscle of a Corvette ZR1. But in form and function it is a supercar that deftly defines both its era and its origin. All gigabytes and manga, GT-R is a supercar like no other; a supercar that only Japan could have created. I'd call that character." And as for the performance... No matter how often I drive it, the GT-R's supercar-slaying capabilities never cease to amaze me. It is the world's best bang-for-the-buck performance car. Period.
Some, ok a lot of journalists like to default to explaining the Nissan GT-R has no character, the “computers” do all the driving for you. Get in a GT-R and push the far right pedal all the way down, then try and say it has no character. The Nissan GT-R from the R32 days have always been a easy car to drive fast. Would you rather have a car that scares you, and you are not able to extract the most out of unless you are a near pro driver, or a car that makes an average driver fast ? A fast driver in a fast car, is just faster.

Good Grooming + GT-R = Porn
So I have Google alerts setup to pull any news stories with a mention of Nissan GT-R. I saw this one pop up, and its good enough to post. Most people in the US probably don’t know this guy, but an actor from Singapore “Edison Chen” Gary Ng secretly filmed himself having sex with about 50 women.
In less than a year, he claimed he had 50 sex partners – including polytechnic students, undergraduates and high-flying executives.
The women, he said, were attracted to him because he ‘grooms himself well’ and drives a ‘nice car’ – a Nissan GTR.
So in Singapore, a Nissan GT-R and good grooming will help you get laid. In the US I think its the opposite, it seems only boys are attracted to GT-R’s. So I always said they would be a good car for a gay man, or an ugly woman to drive. However, if you need a car to help you bed a woman, maybe you should rethink some things. I will have to trust that being an actor, and good grooming took Gary Ng a little further than his GT-R.

1972 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT 4 Door
JDM Legends imported this 1972 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT 4 Door for a customer. This car is legal to import and drive in the US because, vehicles over 25 years old are DOT exempt, and 21 years old are EPA exempt. Not my favorite old school shape. The fender mirrors are typical, and the green paint although unique, is not for me.
With the wheels it came over on.
8 track player. You know you want it.
Looks much better with the Panasport C8’s.
Check out some more of the cars that they are working on at JDM Legends.

Seized Nissan Skyline GT-R – R33 For Auction
Edit: This might have been a Nissanie car.
Over at Jalopnik they posted a few pictures of a seized R33 GT-R that is up for auction. I do not think that this has anything directly to do with Kaizo. I don’t know what the funny VIN / Chassis number is. NM6AW-001022 is not a GT-R chassis number. It should be BCNR33-001022 if that is correct. Sometimes people read the top line off the blue plate and use that as a chassis code.
