How many Superlite GT-R kits are out there, and how many are drivable? GTR Owner Directory

[Michael Hampson]

I've been talking to several owners over the last few days, and all of us wonder the same thing.... how many GTR kits are in the wild, and how many are drivable? So, I thought I'd try to compile a list of all of the cars we collectively are aware of. I'd love for anyone to contribute any info they have (including a picture if possible.) Max of 10 photos per post so this will be multiple posts.

I am in Marietta, GA. Feel free to update the list with that information.

Done. Thank you.

I think that we should pester the admins to add a new forum for GT-R builders/owners. Do you think that could happen?

I love the idea but I wouldn’t know where to start or who to contact. You?

 

[Michael Hampson]

@Ron Earp I think is an admin. I think I tagged him just then.

Great idea. I'm building one in Southern California. I'll try to get some pictures this weekend.

Rob...

I'm realizing with multiple trips planned over the summer, I will not be getting back to the GT-R for a while. I am currently working on body panel fitment and then interior.

Progress pic attached.

Thanks for the update. I have the pic updated for you.

I bought Fran Hall's Black GT-R! It is back together with fresh Ricardo Transmission and a Katech LS3 based motor and carbon fiber interior pan and door cards. The carrier is picking it up today and I should get delivery on Monday.

Very nice. I’ll be sure to add you to the list. Where about are you located? Any plans to track the car?

 

[Adam Norwitch]

I live in Wellington, Florida (near West Palm Beach) in an Aviation Community called Wellington Aeroclub and I am buying a property in another Aviation community in North Georgia called Heaven's Landing. For now the car and I will live in Wellington but when I finish my home in North Georgia I will keep the car there because the roads are so much more fun. I do not plan to track the car. It is a weekend toy and runs on Hoosier DOT tires.

Best regards,
Adam Norwitch

I always thought that would be a great car to get. I'm sure a little extra attention goes into building the boss's car. Fran let me check that one out when searching for mine. Congratulations. That should be a lot of fun.

#11-#12 are definitely the same, even the emissions sticker in the window is the same.

for completed #11 is mine (Rufus's old car) and not the same as #12 (Dean Lampe’s old car)

for Kits Being Built: #2. Name: Dan (Jim B's Old Car) you have my build thread that started the car but you can add the new owners thread

Thank you Randy. Luckily, I have already thrown away a lot of money, or as I justified to my wife, "invested" in alignment equipment for my race car. I have Hubstands, string kits and corner scales, etc. I remember at one race, I quickly changed the camber on the rear wheels and unexpectedly put just a 1/16" total toe OUT in the rear. I thought I was going to die on the track. I appreciate your advice. I have never set up a street car's alignment. But this will eventually be my first.

Thanks for the addition for being built #2. The comment you quoted regarding 11 and 12 was from awhile ago before I straightened out the order. I’m continually changing the order/names as info changes.

 

[Mark Duquette]

I'll take #7 and #8.

 

[Jon]

I'll take #7 and #8.

Haven’t heard from Michael for a while concerning 8…. Not sure if it’s still available or not. Both great examples for sure.

 

[Michael Hampson]

I'll take #7 and #8.

Thanks! As of today, there is a proud new owner of my car (#8). I'll check if he wants his name noted on here. He is in Raleigh NC.
