    GT40R Turbo M Coupe, 71 Datsun VG30 510 "AKASmurf"

    My wife tells me I have a Coupe Problem, she could be right.

    Check out my new coupe, and the one I will have to sell. I was fortunate enough to keep track of Omar's Active Autowerkes built M coupe. The guy that Purchased it from him ran into financial troubles and as I just had assembled all of the turbo pieces to convert the car from a Dinan S/C to a gt40R turbo car the new owner of the car contacted me and told me he was willing to negotiate. Active autowerkes did an incredible job on the car. It drives and acts like a factory 700 hp car. My wife is bugging me to sell my Dinan car. I swapped my CCW's over on to the Black one and I like both cars more. I will be selling the Silver coupe (74K miles) for about $25K with the movit 993 porsche brakes and kinesis wheels. $2K cheaper with stock brakes and mint 18" ssr gt3's with new 295's and 235's falken azenis's. By the way, the tires on both cars are 315 35 18's and 255 35 18's and both sets clear on stock and modified cars with no rubbing. I have always worshiped this car, and now I can't believe I own two of these special cars. Here are some pics.
    If anyone lives in Utah, feel free to pm me and I would be more than happy to give rides, it is absolutely mind bending the acceleration this car produces with no driveability issues.

    Good for you.
    Next time I am up to Miller Motor Sports Park I will try and look you up. I would like to see that monster. Maybe next spring. Best of luck with the new ride.

    I will be doing a few events at Miller Motorsports Park in the spring. All the car needs is a accusump and an oil cooler. A BMW instructor commented after giving him a ride that the car would be capable of doing 190 MPH on the front straight. That kind of speed is not exactly my cup of tea, especially without a cage. I will post pics of the GT3 wheels. They don't clear the porsche brakes without spacers.

    Sorry, reading comprehension may not be my strong suit, but you're saying that the silver M coupe is currently Dinan supercharged, but has a turbo waiting in the wings, and the black M coupe is already turboed. You're selling the grey coupe, and keeping the black coupe. So what are doing with the turbo pieces?

    In any case, congrats. The black coupe is a beauty.

    Awesome, that is some serious talent sitting in your driveway! The black one is incredible, projector Z's too (just got some)!!

    I come to UT all the time, my friend lives at the mouth of Provo Canyon on the north side of 800N in Orem. We fly our gliders off Inspiration Point and out at the Point of the Mountain. I think the next trip is going to be in late December. I'm sure you'll have sold one and parked the other for winter by then, but I would dig to check it out.

    What is that thing on the front bumper of the silver coupe? The thing over the plate holes.
    Also, what size are and color are the SSR GT3's? got pics?

    Man I would love to buy the Silver Coupe! I assume you have had the sub-frame fixed? What year is it-01 or 02?

    If you want to part with those Kinesis wheels, I'd be more than happy to take them off your hands.

    Some of us have had a matching pair for so long, we take for granted that everybody does
