Great to see you having a go doing everything yourself. Did you have to take the wheels off to put the exhaust on..? Or you doing a brake upgrade as well?

Yeah it's normal for a boost gauge to do that, goes up and down as it monitors how much boost pressure the turbo is making, which will depend on your right foot, controlling the accelerator. Like what scotty014 said. I think Nissan OEM gauges tend to play up after so long. Best just leave it and install an aftermarket Boost gauge, which will be a lot more accurate. Haha!! Try not to stall it, you will get use to the clutch. If you do and the turbo timer kicks in just pull over to the side and let it count down, try not to drive the car and all of a sudden switch it off. Or like my turbo timer, you can cancel it out, just switch the key back to ON and turn off the turbo timer and the car will stay on and the turbo timer will reset. How nostalgic of you with the cassette tape player Congrats on the purchase.

As what Shan said... You could probably get a R32 GTR for a similar price of a R34 GTT. Or save your money and get the MR2 Turbo.

Interesting about your comparison Candy33... The specs in writing of the E46 M3 look to be inline ball with the R33 GTR. Stock for stock that is...

would not worry about it too much, it's normal for temps to go higher on hot days. Just make sure your radiator coolant is topped up and check regularly.

Great job Charles! Nice and neat. By this stage I expect to see your whole car wrapped in Carbon Fibre wrap.

What R31Nismoid said, or try and find a 3" cat back exhaust with an oval shape muffler. That should keep the dB levels down at the same time have a better flow then stock. Fujitsubo make decent exhaust that are quiet and still keep a very good flow.

^^ Thanks Calvin!

No worries!

Looks tuff with the Wheels. You need to lower it ASAP! It's sitting up like a truck

That price is damn cheap! As that works out to be about the same price in AUS $34,760. The car is a bargin as it has the whole works done to it. Looks to be in a good condition to but you never know until you actually see it in person.

Legal mods will depend which state you are from. For Example, in VIC, you can only have 1 intake mod. So it's either air pod(s) or front mount intercooler. Can't have both unless it is a GTR. I think that also goes for NSW but if you have a pod(s) it needs to be boxed / shielded off. I think QLD will be along the same lines. Stick with in the legal mods, you will not need any engineers cert. If I were you, I would keep the car stock, get all the road worthy / rego done before starting any modifications, just to save you all the headaches. If you put adjustable suspension on that's fine, as long as it is at legal ride height. Lowest you can have your car is 10cm (100mm) above the ground. Lowest point is the exhaust (I think). If you put a high mount turbo on, it will stick out and cops will pick on that straight away OR get an Engineer's Certificate to say it is legal. Not sure about QLD, but in VIC you can get an Engineer's Certificate as prof to say the modifications on your car are all LEGAL. For example if you want to put on a carbon fibre bonnet (illegal in VIC) you need an engineers cert to say its OK to have. Or if you got a Road Worthy Certificate, meaning a mechanic has checked over the entire car and has passed then that should be enough prof to show the registration office that your car is legal + depending on how strict ppl are at the registration office, some don't care or won't know what's stock and what's not and just pass you. This may also apply in QLD, but nothing to worry about, if your car is stock.

R33's have a more rounded and are the larger in size car then the R32 and R34. The R32 has Streamline styling and the R34 has Aggressive styling. Yes the R33 looks tame but with a lowered car height, a decent stance and a good offset from the wheels, it looks tuff as.

You mean like a targer roof? Skylines have sun roofs but that's about it. Convertible Skyline's look shit IMO.

It like going on a Holden forum and saying what engine is better? RB or LS. Stock for stock, the R32 GTR would have the upper hand, but both cars can be highly modified.

There is a car scene over in QLD Have a chat to the ppl in the Queensland Section. You mean an Engineers Certificate? As long as your car is all legit, rego should not be a problem. Modify your car within legal laws and you will be fine. Same in AUS. Keep your car legal and you will be fine. That should not be a problem. Or try For Sale section. Drift scene is pretty big all over AUS. You might have an even bigger drift scene in Brisbane. I am from Victoria but I have been to Gold Cost. Nice sunny weather, ppl are pretty lay back. If you love the beach, then it is for you.

R33 GTR V-Spec's had stiffer suspension + a lower ride height. An updated ATTESA E-TS Pro all wheel drive system + an Active Limited Slip differential (Active LSD). Four wheel independent channel anti-lock braking system. The car weighted an extra 10 kg.

Ah yeah shit, it is a Camaro SS... Oops! Damn that Lexus looks nice as! WTF! LOL! Who's the wannabe wigger / guido?

Which model Maxima you got? They have good engines, VQ35DE but not a fan of the shape of the car.

Hows your V8 going? Ford Mustang / Bumblebee...

LMAO! I got blue wheel nuts. My car is Gun Metal Grey / White wheels / Blue wheel nuts, it looks nice. Give Blue a go and see how you go.

Nice and clean buddy! Looks well looked after. How's it run?

IMO, why would you put a body kit on a Lamborghini... LOL! But it does top it off nicely. Almost looks like a factory body kit.

Ferrari's have to be Red!
