  1. Apparently i too took my wife a little too literally, that's how i have my current GTR. She already wants me to sell it so i told her i would only if can a have a 34 GTR. She look a little bemused at how i was justifying this to myself as did i when she said no. Now i have to keep making excuses as to why the car is not advetised. This is all that much harder as my mate decided he wants to sell his 34 GTR dirt cheap just after i bought my 33. Hmmm tempting isn't it?
  2. how do i get in contact?
  3. I have owned two 34 gtt's one auto and one manual. The auto needed to be followed around by a petrol tanker as it was only getting around 380km to a tank around town but the manual was doing 480+km around town and 570-580 on the highway. The manual i had was in showroom condition and i sold it for $24,500 at the time. I would not pay more than that and there were a lot of people struggling to sell at that price because there are a lot of poor examples out there. Mine sold quick and when inspected the mechanic was impressed even though the car had only done 68,000kms. Overall it was a great daily driver and very comfortable. I am now on my second R33 GTR and the build quality shit's all over the 34 GTT. Everything about the cars interior, driveline and exterior(debatable due to preference) is a cut above the 34 GTT. You will be able to find good R33 GTR's for under 30k without to much trouble in fairly standard condition, my fist one was mint and i only ever sold it because i had nowhere to keep it due to work. The interior was like new, the engine rebuilt and everything in perfect condition and i bought and sold it for around $28,000 and that was a series 2 96 model but i know i sold it oo cheap because i had offers for over 30 after i sold it. Overall, an awesome driving experience but a little less frienly as a daily driver than the GTT but you get a LOT more bang for your buck with the GTR. I have driven S15's and they are a fun driving experience but the GTT and GTR i found better on the street and more practical size wise as well. The S15 is a small car and feels that way inside. I am quite broad shouldered and it feels like a matchbox car to me. If your fuel bill is not an issue then go a GTR, if you need a more practical daily driver then its the GTT and if you want something a little lighter in weight, on fuel and dont mind a little less room(dont have to carry to many passengers) and are not too tall then go the S15.
  4. 35k+ after the gearbox rebuild and a few tidy ups, the last guy spent 35k on the mods alone plus over 40 for the stock car.
  5. If anyone has a gearset from an abandoned project or slightly used then let me know asap.
  6. Thinking of going with the croos mission gear set at this stage. I dont want to blow one gearbox after another, no use rebuilding it fresh standard and having to pull it apart again. When i was younger i spent more time fixing my cars than driving them , I'd like it the other way around now.
  7. Yeh, i am thinking i may place an order for the OS Giken cross mission gearset.
  8. Thanks, i will give them a call.
  9. On the other hand, who should speak to regarding a rebuild here in Adelaide?
  10. Thanks for your sparkmanv11, will let you know if we do.
  11. Can individual gears be replaced in the gtr box? I have just had a quote of $332 for 3rd gear by itself direct from Nissan.
  12. 1400r Can you check the serial number on the box before i head down?
  13. Thats what i am weighing up atm, do i rebuild with a strong gearset or be gentle on a good second hander? Dont worry i had no intention of installing a box without a thourough checkover first. Still thinking about it at the moment, if only i could find a good condition stock gearset then i would rebuild my current box.
  14. I will down ther in 20 minutes.
  15. Sorry, so it was you that i spoke to yesterday?
  16. Yes i may be able to help, i am buying a complete box so the transfer case on my old box will be available around the end of the week.
  17. Yeh i have the serial numbers from both. Physically the series 3 has stronger synchros and smoother shift. There are a few other minor differences. When i asked about the Kansai box and its shift quality i was told it was unknown because there was no shifter attached. I am happy to buy the box but i need to know if it works or not.
  18. Just ran the numbers against the series 3 box that i was offered and it turned out to be series 2 early 97 from a very tidy looking half cut.
  19. Anymore 33 gtr boxes in SA?
  20. Bump, this is pretty urgent.
  21. Doesn't anyone live in the western suburbs? I never get spotted and only ever spot anyone between the city and bay.
  22. Yeh, got a good deal on this one from a forum member. When i rectify this gearbox issue i will transport the car upto Mackay as my dad just bought a house there so now i have somewhere to keep an extra car. Was thinking to go 34 but this one has some tastefull mods and was a lot cheaper. As it happens my mate wants to sell his 34 at bargain basement now, its very tempting but i just bought this car and i am not ready to let it go.
  23. Fair enough, good luck with your sale.
  24. So $4,500 for the complete box including billit centre plate, how much for just the input shaft and gearset? (if you are wiling to seperate)
