  1. 911 Turbo or bust for me at those prices. Don't care how many have been produced I'd buy it because it's the better car. GTR's were always the best car in their price point. It could hang with the big boys for a fraction of the cost but lets be realistic that's not the case anymore... There was a crossover point where the GTR stopped being appreciated for what it really was and instead became a drag/wank/Paul Walker/youtuber/instagrammer car
  2. I'll admit it makes a ton of torque and has a GT42 in front of it but 98% of the time it see's sensible street use. Is it synchro's or bearings or? I was considering laying down the cash for a new oem box but not if it's going to be buttfcuked quickly.
  3. I've always had a slight whine in 4th and 5th in my R33 Gtst 5spd but lately it's turned into a full blown dog box whine under acceleration. It varies a little with throttle and load but for the most part it's always there whilst driving. Is there a recommended transmission rebuilder for these gearboxes to take it to in Melbourne? What sort of parts am I looking at and is it likely to happen again due to power level or is it a wear issue?
  4. Just go a stock RB30 block for the time being. You wont see 500rwkw with it but you'll get damn close for a fraction on E85 with a set of rod bolts, oil pump and new rings. Sell your twins setup. Find a used 6boost with a turbo strapped on. Put your money to a new fuel system, clutch and a good tuner.
  5. I went from a xforce 100cell cat to an Outlaw 200cell cat and the difference in fume smell was huge. Tune wasn't altered at all, I was pretty pissed about the Outlaw because it wasn't cheap but well worth it when I warm it up in the garage. 440rwkw goes through it.
  6. Get rid of the 2.5" section and go 3" or bigger. Boost level will change it and also running no filter will change the sound.
  7. The workshop probably quoted the shit out of the car and plan to buy it from the insurance company so it will be in your best interest to buy it if it's not a write off (which it sounds like it's not)
  8. If you're on a budget all you have to do is buy a used turbo from a turbo falcon and bolt it on. What turbo is on it now? You should be able to sell it too
  9. I've been running RE003 235/45R17 for 2500kms - 373rwkw & 32psi in the tyres and holding second gear perfectly to my surprise. I actually put a spare set of wheels tyres on to see if it was down on power or if it was the tyres. Invos, Michelin PSS and KU36 all didn't bite until 3rd
  10. Attached Posted my price trying to help, not brag...A good modified or factory Calais Turbo fetches 40k+ and a clean factory yellow BT1 will get $70k all day in 2017. Crazy? Yes but it's real just like 34 GT-R prices.
  11. They're not even great for 1/4 mile lol there's a lot of head scratching to do to get those lumps into the 9's. Meanwhile there's daily driven 8 second xr6t's getting about
  12. With NRMA insured my VL for $42k - $281 a year, $300 excess. Shannons were $909 on club reg or $990 on full reg.
  13. The problem is people panic and pay big dollars for them. As much as I want a 32 V-Spec again why should I pay 50k when my first one cost me 16k. I'd rather get into M or AMG cars for GTR coin than pay triple the price for a car I used to own.
  14. Lol I said, "theoretically" but yeah I'm going for the whole "seems legit" look. I was considering finding the biggest engine cover off a new car I could find and just sticking it on top of everything.
