  1. mist: I don't think RB20/RB25's really need it... It's more to do with the flatter and longer design of the RB26 sump that houses the front diff that necessitates the addition of these sump baffles for track work... The RB20/RB25's should be fine... If you really want to fit these (can't hurt really), give John at Unique Auto Sports a call, he built B-Man's motor and he organise a sump upgrade for it and should be able to tell you whether this will fit into the RB20 sump... YO880: You can do it either of two ways: 1. Lift the car up on a hoist and support the bottom of the engine with a stand. Remove crossmember and bottom of the sump. Drop in Jun Sump Baffles, and put it all back together. $500-750-ish? 2. Remove engine from car and do it on an engine stand. - $1000-$1500 Most people like doing via Method 2 as it's easier, but if you're paying for labour, I suggest getting them to do it via Method 1 as it will be cheaper.
  2. I have a GTS-t with GTR badges... Does that count?

  9. Which confirms my driver training comment *Merli goes off to ring Peter Finlay
  10. Dundan's car didn't have standard suspension... Even a 4 year old could tell that it was lowered, which could mean a whole lot of other suspension mods edit: I think the best grip and handling mods you can do it to get driver training
  11. I have already sold my set, thanks dude!
  12. Interesting thread

  14. Well.... That was unexpected! I'm running 330mm DBA discs on alloy hats with AP Racing 6 Pot Calipers and am about to upgrade to 365mm discs as I've decided to go exclusively 18" wheels for track and road. With that kind of response and product backing how can I not go for DBA discs again? Wonderful to see a company back their products like that and genuinely interested in product testing and research.
  15. Or you'd get your mummy to buy you a GTR and then proceed to demolish a bus stop with it.... Either way really.
  16. Troy, Yeah, as Brendan said, there was one N/A civic on street tyres that was cutting some very nice lines out there, as well as Daniel in his White R33 GTR lapping under in the 1:08s... Then there was a Race-setup MR2 that seemed to be driving in all the categories, all day 1:10s... Not too bad... Personally I thought that Darren in his 200SX was doing very very well out there, except for his slight tendancy to cook it a little too much into and out of corners
  17. As far as I know, he did a no-show... Neil Bates in his 4AGE powered, tube-framed PRB Clubman didn't show up either
  18. Haven't had time to go through my photos just yet... Here are a couple of ones that I took in the pits though
  19. I actually owned two R33 GTS-ts before stepping into a GTR My last one made 280rwkw @ 1.2 bar with stock internals... All it needed was forged pistons and rod bolts and I could wind up the boost on that HKS GT3040 turbo and really see what she could do, but I decided to move to a GTR instead. B-Man, you may take my GTR for a drive in about a month's time
  20. For those asking what brand those discs are, that's a pretty distinctive slotting pattern
  21. I think it comes down to this. If you had UNDER $40k to spend on an R33, you'd probably buy a GTS-t and spend whatever remains of your budget modifying it. If you had EXACTLY $40k to spend on an R33, (the price of mid-level R33 GTRs these days), and not one more cent, you'd probably buy a GTS-t and modify it. If you had MORE than $40k to spend on an R33, you'd probably buy a GTR and modify it. Bottom line: I don't know of any GTRs that are left standard. If you can afford a GTR, you can usually afford to modify it. And we all know how well GTRs respond to just a few simple breathing and boost mods. But then you move into whether you want to modify it at all? Perhaps you like your cars stock? or just with a few mods like intake/exhaust/boost? In which case if you had $40k exactly you'd buy the GTR. There are a few exceptions like Buster and B-Man who think they prefer the GTS-t over GTR at any price, but they have never owned a GTR so they can't really say for certain
  22. Mark, you're way behind the ball buddy http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=41056
  23. This thread highlights the absolute worst in GTR owners. You guys need to get over yourselves. The GTR is a great car, but it's PEANUTS when compared to European Supercars (Porsche, Ferrari, Pagani, Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, McLaren, etc).... There's absolutely no comparison. That sentence is akin to a torrential downpour of diahorrea. You need to take some Kaopectate for your mouth.
