Too bad the R3 isn't available in more colors in the US. I really like it in Diamond Gray.

I know, SB is my favorite color, I remember looking through my Hyper Rev and seeing it and the WWP and then I went on Autotrader when I was ready to buy it in June 04 and saying"WTF how come these colors arent sold over here"

wow, hard to belive that styling trend came from trying to replicate race cars, somewhere it all just went horribly wrong.

But it's the huge hood scoop that gives things away as the NA SR20DE has been replaced by an SR20DET from an S15, and mated to a Blitz KKK K3 450R turbine. Notice the odd position of the intercooler. With 400 PS it's no surprise that Nomuken has been enjoying drifting this around!

Oh, one more note about US '09 colors. There are actually two blacks. The non-R3s get a cool metallic black and the R3 gets BB. So that's a total of 7 colors for '09 here. In Japan, all those colors are available on all trim levels (R3 = RS in Japan), plus they still have Galaxy Gray. So 8 total.
