Interesting as I've never driven a 33 or a 34 but kind of felt what you've said would be true. To me the 32 has heritage and is an engineering milestone. Mass produced, affordable contemporary rival to the Porsche 959. Quite an achievement. The fact that the basic engineering package did not change that much through all the iterations says a lot about how advanced the 32 was at launch. Anyway, each to their own, but 32s FTW.

Why would you want one? What does this upgrade do? Legal thread hijack as the item is sold

Thanks don't forget to say what car you had them fitted to and to rims too. Cheers.

Wheel Solutions in Richmond. Can't guarantee he's the cheapest but the quality is great. 100% matched my R34 GTR rim paint colour. Ask for Matt.

What are they off and can you supply actual photos please?

S'all shiney on the outside mate.....no need to check

255 is respectable enough but the start point seems low. But it's hard to say what is 'normal' with these cars. How many are truly original......

NI Spec (in your car description) means steel wheeled turbs? Must be, right? 165 is a very low start point. I'd think you'd start at 190 to 200. Could be wrong. My last stocker dyno'ed at 190 pre-fiddling.

Not that I would, but the guy down the zorst shop said that de-cat would end up robbing the car of low end torque, if all else left standard. If so then I'd guess the same could be said for a high flow cat. They should know their zorsts, but I doubt they really know their GTRs...... I wonder where the truth lies? Probably down with my tuner at $110 per hour.....plus big margins on all exhaust parts supplied.... EDIT, a question. If you put a very free flowing exhaust (however so you choose) on a standard engine and computer would it run rich / lean / get confused at all, or is that all accounted for in the cleverness of the ECU?

You go to your friendly and local wrecker and take one off the pasenger side of a wreck and it's brand new. You can even adjust the hoop slightly to get the door closing exactly in line with the rear qtr panel. My doors now shut with the clunk of a new car. Guy who sold me the car gave me one and a wrecker allowed me to swap mine for a good one. Top blokes. Job done.

Cheap!!!

Wel I can tell you that full soft is very comfortable but also very crap in the handling stakes. I picked a couple of choice corners this morning and the tyres were howling and the body roll was terrible, so much so that it induced oversteer at relatively modest speeds. I'll have to find a sweet spot than this! Time to start fiddling.

Sloppy shouldn't be an option.... I'll leave the rear at 16 (CBF taking out the boot lining again) and set the front to 10 and see how it goes. My drive to work is not going to yield many opportunities to see how she handles, but plenty of railway lines and pot holes.... Appreciate the help.

I've back them off 16 clicks and its really soft. Great for the commute but pretty wallowy!

Yep, agreed, I've got all of that. It's just the way it came and I'm slowly setting it up to how I like it.

Great result. 1.25 on road tyres is pretty good. I did 1.25.20 on semis.....but no touring car driver tuition for me! You runing an oil cooler? I am, and my (admittedly OEM) gauge says I'm running into the early 100s....My water temp never moves. I guess oil and water temps eventually match so if water good then oil good too.........Fingers crossed. Gearbox brand new or re-built? Other than not having a spun bearing how do you know if you're getting oil surge?

Yeah, I can get to them through the boot. Good to hear the adjustment is the same. Real easy. Just a thumb and fore-finger required! God bless the opposing thumb.

Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming Another question, are the length of cats always the same? I guess I'm thinking will a replacement just bolt straight in or is there the possibility of having the lengthen or shorten the pipe to the rear?

Yep, I've just done that and I'll see how it goes on the way home. Fronts are nice and accessible, but the rears less so. Do you know if the adjustment is there for the rears and it is done the same way? Yeah, the car is pretty low and I'm actually thinking of raising it up a bit as driveways (well mine actually) are a drama. Looks cool though..... Feel a bit silly I didn't clock the adjustment on them, but great to know the 16 click bit of info. Cheers.

I would suspect this would wear too quickly and be hard to apply effectively in any case. It would require approx. 3mm of tape.

Matt, worry less and enjoy more. There are plenty of cheap sh1theaps you can but with warranties, airbags, ESP etc etc etc (I've got one!) and you can drive them daily without concern. You'll drive happy knowing you've got your beatiful sports car in the garage waiting for the right moment. As for the R35, well I'd rather yours personally. There is so much more good than bad in what you've done.

Pretty funny as it looks so patheticaly restrictive. My question is how much difference would a good hiflow cat improve spool up & throttle response? I'm guessing the ultimatle power figure ain't going to change much but how it drives should be affected by getting rid of the stangled cat..... Other thing, what is the line / wire that comes off the cat and goes back up to he car and is this required? Thank you.

As per the photo. This is annoying as the doors do not shut properly (sit proud by a couple of mm) and also the latch rattles on the hoop and sh1ts me to death. Not looking to spend money in the Nissan shop and am dubious as to how good parts from a wrecker would be so any cheap fix solutions that can be suggestred? Anyone have this bit that they can donate or sell? It just the black rubber / plastic bit I need. Cheers.

OK, I've inhereted these and they are a little on the harsh side for my family orientated GTR. Current ride quality makes the wife feel queezy. I'm not up for spending big money on this car so looking for a cheap fix. I've also got some KYB 'coilovers' from my other car which could be used as an alternative but they will need some work as they were harsh too. I don't want to entirely ruin the handling either. I guess I can get new softer springs and or the damping can be played with (possibly with the SS.....?) Can anyone point me in the right direction?
