Sambo33

thanks for the heads up guys, the game looked pretty cool, so i probably would have bought it, not going to bother now.

I use the castrol stuff in mine, does the job nicely

full bottom end rebuild with forged pistons ect, plus reco of the head, will be somewhere in between $5-6K, depends on the extent of work to be done

a line-locker would be a good investement if you plan on doing a lot of burnouts (off-street drags of course) those rear brakes are very effective

Hey Steve! i was there at about 10:30am, i wasnt there for very long. my car is in the corner next to the front wall with a car cover on it. Angela, slo-031, is that the gun-metal grey R31?

I remember reading this thread when i first signed up, thinking 'gee i hope i dont ever have to post up in here' oh well, here goes... Engine/Car: RB25DET/S1 R33 GTS-t Skyline Type of failure: Detonation/Ringlands on all 6 pistons Factors influencing the failure: Detonation - possibly timing too advanced, my car had a tuned power FC when the previous owners had the car (when dyno in my sig was done), currently has stock computer, im pretty sure the engine had the problem when i bought it, i havent covered many ks (only about 10000) State of tune of the engine: Internally stock Suspension and tyres: tanabe coil-overs, replaced bushes, front strut-brace, nankang 235/45/17s Oil used and service interval: 2 changes on my behalf every 5000ks using motul turbolight General comments: problem was most likely incurred by previous owners, i had a mechanic check engine over when i bought the car, but it wasnt the most thorough check, i noticed the engine bay was a bit oilly but i didnt stress too much cos i got the car for a really good deal, also has an oil catch can, that will fill (found out later) up rapidly at higher speeds, it recently started using about 1L of oil per 1000ks, so rebuild is in process at the moment.

spotted a black 34 GT-R in the city, i heard that familiar RB rumble, looked around and i was like speechless... awesome looking car!

I was poking around at redline today, and found this immaculate 33 GT-R, wish i had a spare $40K just kicking around.

Hi everyone! Heres some pics i got of my 33 at boostworks today. shaun showed us the pistons, ringlands were dead on all 6 of em due to detonation. the engine is at the machining shop atm, so i should hopefully have it back in a couple of weeks

163,000, engine is being rebuilt at the moment

skylines love long drives, they feel much more at home on the freeway/hills than puttering around town. mine has a fairly noisy exhaust but the 33s have a lot of sound deadening so its no problem. i can honestly say its the best car ive ever owned for open road driving, no shortage of power on the steep hills either

nasty

cheers mate ! thanks for your efforts in organising the group buy, & for such a good price too

lol, yeah, those are some odd cartoons...

btw, did you draw your sig ash?

some nice repairs there!

ive seen it a couple of times just cruising along, really nice looking car!

i think thats a GTS-t mate, i remember reading an article on it in speed magazine.

yeah i saw that on channel 9 news.

not very nice at all
