Bericht door: essNchill op 03:39:26, donderdag 03 januari 2008
1st up, I speak or understand no Dutch and it's only thanks to Robert and Lawrence that I have got this far :)

As far as I know you guys will show me up, as you can all understand what I'm typing LOL (well hopefully anyways).

So it's a big hello from me!!

I'm Shaun from the Nissan Primera Owners Club (http://www.npoc.co.uk/) and I drive a 1999 Nordic P11 GTLE saloon.

Here's a few piccies of my car:

You can see many more pictures and grab the spec list, as well as finding out all about me LOL from here:

You guys have some awesome Nissan's!!

I'm pretty sure someone on here has posted the JAE 2007 NPOC video I made recently (it shows up in Youtube that people are linking in from here). Well I did another video recently to celebrate and have a look back at NPOC for 2007.

Please do have a look, you can find it here:

Take care all,

WOW.. What an awesome forum / club you guys have here! Many thanks for taking the time for the replies fellas. It's nice to see you're all so passionate about the cars.

Such a shame that us English are so ignorant to other languages (we only get to choose French / Spanish or German at school etc). I'd love to get more of the NPOC'rs on here but it's the language barrier that will put them off.

I got this far using Babelfish and Lawrence / Robert.

I'll answer the questions asked about my car :)

The gold badges were a dealer option direct from Nissan (and very pricey too!).. If you try your local Nissan dealership, you may get lucky. There is one big downside to the badges though!! Nissan for some strange reason only did the gold badge set in "Nissan Logo" (bonnet and boot) / the word "Primera" - They didn't ever make a gold "GT" badge! I did some digging around and found that the JDM badge for the Subaru Legacy GT, only available from Japan is pretty much the same size and works well. The picture of my GT badge above is indeed from a Subaru Legacy and I got it shipped over from Japan.

Yep the colour is Nissan standard and known as Nordic Blue.

The GTLE does indeed stand for Limited Edition and I know you all know the GTSE (Mystics) stands for Special Edition. Nissan released the GTLE's to celebrate their success in the BTCC in the late 90's. In the colour Nordic they released 200 hatchbacks and just 100 saloons (of which I have one)... It took me 2 years to find the car. Only differences over the normal GT's are that we got electric windows front and rear as standard, 16" multi spoke alloys, Momo gear knobs and full piped leather sport seats (as below):

(http://www.npoc.co.uk/essNchill/Nordicseats_small.jpg)

My current alloys being all gold, was something I always wanted to try.. As I liked how the gold badges worked with the blue paint. On my previous alloys (18"s again), I had them painted with a gold lip and custom centre caps:

(http://www.npoc.co.uk/meets/jae2006/jae06_5.jpg)

(http://www.npoc.co.uk/meets/japfest06/jf06_108.jpg)

(http://www.npoc.co.uk/meets/japfest06/jf06_21.jpg)

So thinking that worked OK.. I finally plucked up the courage to go for an all gold alloy 8)

My previous Primera was indeed a silver P10, someone has a good memory LOL.

Anyways, I've rambled on enough.. I just wanted to take the time as you all made me feel so welcome (so sorry for a lengthy post).

Here's hoping you guys will deffo be side by side with us JAE 2008, you'll be very welcome. It won't be long till me and the other NPOC Club Owners, will sit down and discuss the club plans and arrangements. We'll be sure to liase with you guys and make this happen!!

Take care,
Shaun

I was just looking at some of my old piccies for the GT old and GT new badge.

As I mentioned above, Nissan never made the gold GT badge, so the silver one I had on the car was spray painted gold like so:

(http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/6/web/762000-762999/762753_24_full.jpg)

Then after I got the Scoob Leggy badge, it looks like this (please excuse the low quality mobile phone pics):

In the Japanese Hyer REv Magazine you can see pitctures of the celebration of winning the BTCC.
There you can see problably the first GTLE driving around the circuit with the BTCC drivers in it.
Unfortunatly I don;t have a scanner, other wise I would post a copy of it.

Funny to discover Nissan made so much different limited styles of the Primera GT....

Talking about JAE; we are receiving donations from our clubmembers for buying a big-ass tent which we can use in the UK. It's important that you can sit dry when BBQ'ing and drinking beer!

Don't if you guys have something like that, if we hook those things together we can definately be the main attraction on the event ;D

Hi Shaun, great to see more Brits on the NCN forum ;D
finally some of the UK's Primmie lovers are making their way across to Holland O0

I've seen your colour over here twice so far (both were Primera Estate's....) one was definately dutch reg.

If you (or other NPOC guys) have any translation questions don't hesitate to ask, -I'm fully bilingual O0
If you have enough patience I could translate topic sections for you as well.

BTW you could add a web page link as a signature if you fill in your profile page on NCN, dunno if it's possible to link staight to your NPOC section..??

How about this, if we want to combine the 2 clubs in 1 meet and reduce the cost to a minimum or acceptabel rate if JAE wil happen.

I will try to explain in propper english so the npoc members can understand.
JAE = Japanse auto/automobile extravagansa at the UK

The day or days before JAE we have our english friends come over and go to rica for a powercomparing meet between the 2 clubs or something like that. The day after we ride whit these gents to England/UK and have a jolly good time whit them at JAE. That way the clubs will meet at both sides and it's not a 1 way direction. This is the basic idea, so the costs will be on both sides and time spended is 100% satisfaction.

greetings

Peter
