GTR_STEALTH

True True

I think getting a Race Only car = winner!

grrr...the more i look into this the more and more options that pop up. Im starting to think that for about half my perceived initial outlay would get me onto a track with something OK. And as im starting to find out, you dont really need something significant like a GTR to get onto the track. 15K should do the trick i rekon. 10K = Car 5K = Little mods/tyres The Silvia seemed like a cheaper option, but just looking thru that J-Spec site, it seems u can get an R32 (couldnt find any 33's for that price) for about the same which would have to be a better option....yes/no? So what u think about an R32 GTS-T as a thrash box for the track??? It would surely have to be a better option than the S13 yer? Just get it here, throw a cooler/exhaust, and maybe change the turbo if it dies; and just race the damn thing. Not a big fan of upgrading anything major (unless it brakes first), which im not sure if it will. I know their gearbox's arent as good as an RB25, and yes they are a lil old....but it should be ok yer? I suppose just a lil babying on the track would prevent any major boo boo's Here are a few examples from J-Spec: http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/index.php?ID=7831 http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/index.php?ID=5781 http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/index.php?ID=5602 hehehe...sorry for the inconveinience. I just like to consider and explore ALL possibilities before throwing my money into something which could quite possibly end up in the tyre wall As i said earlier on, i've already got an R33 but its auto, so i dont think that would be sufficient; even if i did put a shift kit, etc...

My mate is on the nova site with all them chicks...Oct 11th i think it was... He's the one with the pitty... /end my useless info today

Phunkey_Monkey, i take you owned one....Why did it make you "dead poor",LoL, are they that riddled with probs? ...surely there's exceptions out there? yes/no?

Thanks phunky_monkey, i did see that thread ...cheers. hrrrmmm... ....so far a Silvia is looking pretty good. Looks like you might be seeing a bit of me in a few months time.... :sorcerer: Gonna have to do a bit of research on em first for their most common probs as i havent really payed attention to them cars.... Anyone around here racing Silvia's? ...or would i be the bottom of the barrel?

So far im leaning towards a Silvia, due to the fact that generally its cheaper than a 180SX...Approx 7 - 12K. That leaves plenty of room for tyres, trailor, modest mods, etc... Would i still be elegable to join and race with SAU with a Silvia???

LoL, yer it is a dificult question! I guess im looking more at the fun factor whilst still being competitive. I've looked in the Motorsport section and browsed through 6 pages of the 15 but didnt find anything as specific....but thanx for the advice so far.... In going for a 32 GTR would it be fair to say that as they're getting old, and the likely hood of them being thrashed on a circuit is higher would it be safer to go with something else????

Hello all, You're gonna have to bear with me as this is gonna be a complicated question... I've been eyeing your years calender and would love to join up and get involved in some of the racing action, so i guess this question would apply to Vic members around that scene moreso.... What car to buy to get involved in some track work? -R32 GTR -R33 GTR ...or a cheap thrash box? Maybe one thats already modded -Silvia -180sx? -Any other cheapy im missing out here? I've searched around the forums and noticed that most are GTR's.... Some points to consider... -ABSOLUTE MAX budget is approx 30K <--But prefer if it wasnt! -The possibilty of an accident; hence the cheaper Silvia/180 so i wont cry! -I already have 2 cars (VR + R33 GTS-T)...so having it off the road isnt too much a prob. -Ongoing costs; running costs; modification cost; -Approx insurance costs? -Anything else im missing here? Your advice is greatly appreciated! <--hehe i love that smilie

Om pretty sure there's a DIY on this...with plenty of pics also...

You're prety much spot on the money there champ....

...I want a GTR ...Congrats dude!

Please.... Smokey _dj, i cant beleive you're still continueing asif nothing is going on.... Anyone interested in the full story and the exclusive scoop on the truth exposed can jump onto AusRevs under the Un-official section and see for themselves. ...I'll leave it at that.

I've got just ova 5:30PM MUAHAHAHAAA!!! ...besides, he says that he "gives up".....Smokeydj's shenanigans are put to shame at Ausrevs

He copped a nice grilling from the start at Ausrevs, all where suss on it.... I certainly gave him my 2cents worth when he first posted. pffft, asif hold a "tribute" cruise starting at Krispy Kremes...so so shallow. ...i'd certainly like to see smokeydj's excuse tho.

HaHa! Thats ok...I can be aggresive! So if ur an asshole, i'll punch you in the face and we'll call it even steven! ROFL!!! jks jks

smokeydj you should be ashamed of yourself you f**king scum! We have checked up on you and found this to be full of shit! Details can be found at Ausrevs here: http://www.bubblisious.com/ausrevsbeta/Fil...3066&page=3 As well as being banned from Aussiev8: http://www.aussiev8.com.au/showthread.php?t=7993 smokeydj you should be ashamed of yourself......

I dont think anyone is saying a TT is harmfull champ! Sir-D, Im not sure what you want me to elaborate on? ...basically all im saying in my post is to take it easy as u approach ur destination and you wont really need a turbo timer. And my personal opinion is that if you think a TT is gonna save ya then think again. Thrashing your car then coming to a complete stop and leaving it on TT will NOT cool down the rest of your car like transmission etc...

If you were to put an Auto ecu into a Manual vehicle, yes it will run. But not properly. However it may be different when it comes to Japanese cars, im not sure....so u may be correct. But as 13thracer has found, putting in the correct ecu has solved his problem.

WoW...i didnt know that! I've spoken to a few that say they will tune my Auto R33 but none have mentioned this....

HaHa! ...cheers.

On? Off? On? Off? ...O/D off is when the lil light on the dash lights up yer?

Im new to SAU and im hoping to make an effort to come to the next one as i live about 2 minutes up the road. But i'd be a little nervous as i dont know anyone from here How many attended the last one? ...wouldn't be more than a handfull yer...

There is really only two things you need to consider: -Is the amp upside down? ....the way amps are designed and the position of the heat sink, they should be mounted vertically or right side up. -Is there adequate ventilation? ...as long as you have room for air to move around the amp ur fine. A third thing to consider may also be, how accessable is the controls of the amp...as you dont wanna be fiddling around.
