  1. And I have every episode since it first aired about the time a lot of people would have still been in nappies.

    Calling yourself old miss? =b

  2. Well I dunno about whether the GT-R box would physically fit into the GTS-T's trans tunnel for example? It sounds like another one of those things that isn't really worth the time or effort. I imagine you'd have to change all the suspension around too due to it now becoming front heavy...

    And what he said ^

    Theyre not exactly the same car. Ive seen an RB26 put into a GTST before and it required all sorts of engineering and stuff to make it work.

  3. Okay, this is something i have been wondering, ever since i got my car. Its a 97 Series 2 GTS25T coupe. It was cheap, so im not about to go selling it to buy an R33 GTR, which still cost about 25-30k over here.

    What i want to know, is if i imported a cheap 33 GTR donor car from jappas, could i essentually convert my car to be a GTR (without the wide rear guards, unless i want to cut and weld obviously)? I know it can be done on the likes of GTS4's, very easily, but a RWD 33?

    I cant see why it wouldnt work, because the main differences are in the mechanicals, not the floor pan. So it still uses the same rear diff mounting, and driveshaft mountings. The main differences would be in having to swap the front subframe over to suit the 4wd system.

    The wiring and interior arent an issue, as it would be a full donor car so i would just change the whole loom over.

    If it can work, i could very well have a road registered GTR for 15-18k all up (including price of my GTS25T).

    And yes, i know... it still wouldnt be a 'GTR'.... but i dont care.

    My moral objections to what youre proposing aside...

    'cheap donor car from japan'...a cheap 33 GTR even from japan is a stretch. Any GTR you could import from Japan for a cheap price (even with everyones dollar not being particularly strong)...for one, the engine is probably tired and not worth having anyway, and so on and so forth...If you want a GT-R...its probably worth just buying one. They are worth what theyre worth...even in Japan.

  4. ^^^ disagreeing with the above. 18-60 while still not great does actually encompass the better drivers in the system. why cut off 'worst drivers' at 60? I can't even count the amount of times ive nearly been in an accident because a 70 or 80 year old cut me off. or just turned right...against oncoming traffic. Yes p platers are bad. But ive nearly been t boned or ran up the butt of a senior citizen more times than a p plater has ever bothered me.

  5. ok so mayby im better off going an already modded r33 gts-t series 2 or r34 gt-t, its just im looking at resale down the future i thought a r33 gtr would be better but i mean if the money has already been spent on it it wont matter to much, do they hold there value....

    cheers

    This i can answer :blink:

    Just a look on redbook will tell you an R33 GTR will hold its value - and has done, for a car thats between 11-15 years old. However you generally will not find one within the price bracket that youre assigning yourself. Now this may just be in Victoria, but you generally won't find one (in good nick) for less than 24-28k. Do they hold their value? oh my yes.

    Is it worth the extra cash?

    Most definitely.

    Ultimately the choice is up to you. You can go a S2 GTS-t. theyre around 10-15k or so? then you have money leftover for running costs.

    A GT-T will soak up the full 20k easily.

    Its mostly a choice of what you really want - and if thats a GT-R, then go for it. But it will cost you more, as theyve said, in every aspect.

    I'm a 21 year old female, for example. My GT-R is costing me 3100 p.a. on insurance. 60 dollars a week (120 a fortnight) on fuel (silly me runs it as a daily at the moment) plus all the parts for them are that bit more expensive. Spend some time on the forums, do your homework, then make a decision.

    And as a side note - you will be hard pressed to find a stock GTR...

  6. Hey people, bit unsure on this one.

    I have a few problems with my car and im pretty sure its because of a faulty afm, but im not sure what afm i would need.

    Can i use one from a Turbo? or would it have to be from a N/A? Not only that would it have to be for a RB20.

    Having a apparantly rare RB20 R34, i havent been able to find much about it? Just wondering if anyone would know.

    I suppose it could even be a problem with the ecu, but it just seems so likely that it is the afm rather then the ecu

    Basicly just need to know if i need the exact afm or if i can use one from another skyline.

    Thanks.

    what is the car doing exactly?
