why does it need a cat if its a J plate?

Its an L plate. The J1 5hrk plate is private, and eventually being returned to previous owner 'Jay', nickname "shrek"

Nice ride! Do like the sound of the RB26DET engine (its a single turbo, right?)

Have you got any pictures of the interior? And whats the mileage?

Once... there will be a R33 GTR in my garage

But.. when I look around... why does almost every 480 owner have a weakness for JPN cars?

its an rb25det engine, Still highley capable.
The rb26dett is a twin turbo 2.6 litre found in the GTR version only
Not that much difference in standard power out put but the rb26 dett has sooo much more tuning capability

Yeah, it ment to be 2.5litre sorry

There are great vids on the internet of the RB engines. Friend of mine drives a GTR 33 with 625bhp. Crazy car!

Because the 480 isn't that at all!?

It will compensate each other.. or ... ?

I'd argue the Rb25 is just as tunable as the Rb26. The 25s are favoured in japan as they are more abundant and cheaper. The TT gets replaced with a big T anyway, and all the internals are replaced for big power.

Will get interior shots.

Got an mot on sat too!
