I'm not sure how legal it is to have spacers in Australia, but you will need them on the front as the GT-T rims are made for the much bigger R34 brake setup, and without the spacers the rim will rub on the brake caliper the whole time. It only needs about a 2-3mm spacer to clear it though.

Mine did so I just pulled the 25t part off it. It has left no mark what so ever, and now stupid people assume it's N/A (after commenting on the intercooler LOL). My car is white though so I guess you woudn't see a difference in the paint anyway.
-
I know my Front 8.5' and rear 9.5' have different offsets as both wheels sit flush with the guards witht the rear having 1' more of a dish in it, and the wheel nuts stick out on the rear, but are sunk in on the front.
-
I can't really go any wider that 235 on the front, but it probably wouldn't be an issue if my car wasn't so low. I ran 255's on the rear wthout any trouble at all and will soon be going to a 275, which will probably require a bit of guard rolling. You really shouldn't try to go to a 255 on the GT-T rims though as they are not wide enough as blade stated.

Just going off everyones crazy opinions of a word that doesn't really have a meaning as such. That's all

I don't think the GTR kit is rice, but if you put the badges on too that's a different story. Yes I do have a GTR rear spoiler on my car, BUT, it serves a purpose, it is capable of making downforce, unlike the standard R33 spoiler which is just there for looks. Does this make the standard 33 spoiler rice? When I bought my car there were Apexi stickers everywhere. I managed to get most of them off but am now left with a hideous sticky residue on 1/2 my dash. However the car did come with Apexi suspension, strut brace, intake, gauges etc.

What sort of boost are you trying to run. They should never do it on stock boost but when you get near to 0.8bar they will.

The only problem is that Infinity and Acura are watered down version of the jap spec cars that we get. I know my old Honda integra put out something like an extra 20hp over the Acura. I also don't understand why anyone would even want the V35. If you ask me they aren't a skyline anymore. They have gone away from the straight 6's that we have all known for over 10 years and they all look like euro cars now.

I'm pretty sure yours are the world sport, as my N1's were silver and red, with a red spring. They had a two part thread on them so you adjusted the height from the bottom, and the top adjustment on the thread was the pre load for the srpings (I think never touched that bit). They also had a damper adjustment on the top, which was similar to the adjustment on many BOV's with a nut and an allen key.

We had a similar situation with an Evo launching into a parked car next to us in hamilton one night.
-
I just used cable ties to mount mine to the right of the battery. Seems to hold up pretty well and also works as a good rear demister when it's raining. It saves on worrying about wiring too as all power wires etc are only about 15cm long.
-
I had Apexi N1's in my car when I bought it and found they were waaaaaay too hard also. Even with full damper adjustment they were still too hard, but it is due more to the rediculously hard springs in them. Have a talk to your local suspension shop and see if you can buy/ get made a set of springs for them that are better suited to Australian roads.

The best killswitch I have found is the one that my friend designed and has been put in our cars which is, the car will not start unless the faceplate for the headunit is on. This is something you always take with you when parked and how many people will get into a car and think "Damn it's not starting, must be because the H/U aint going"?
-
Woohoo. Mines on the list. I got me a 40th anniversary R33. As far as I know the only difference is the two badges on the outside, the two badges on the front seats, and the factory Momo steering wheel. Anyone know any info about the 40th anv model?
-
With the money you pay for an ITR you are probably better off to buy just the stock 1800 VTEC (VTIR?) and spend the money on making it quicker. I used to have an Integra Si that had had some mild work done to it and it was a fair bit quicker than a Type R for a lot less then buying one. Not sure about prices in Aussie but I paid $12K for it when the Type R was over $20K.

I'm running 3.5" from the turbo back with one Tanabe muffler and it's very quiet. It's not loud but real deep at idle, and under load is really quiet.

Got my '98 33 last November with 96,000 on it, now up to about 120,000 with no worries. Only problem I've had is the coilovers that I put in after buying need rebuilding in the rear. Only problem is that it's impossible to find someone who can do it. The only reply I get is "WTF Kei Office??"
-
Toyo's do come in 18's. My friend has a set of 245/40/18's on his cefiro.

From what I was reading the last known sale of a 400R was for £130,000 last year sometime. It was in one issue of speed magazine.
-
I'd go for the rear suspension being too hard theory. I believe I have the same problem as I'm running Kei Office coilovers, and there is bugger all traction 1st, 2nd and sometimes 3rd. I'm looking at getting a set of softer springs made up for the rear though as many people have mentioned before that most Japanese coilovers spring rates are about twice what they really should be for the roads in Australia and New Zealand.

I think the Series II seats are bloody ugly, that's why I changed to R32 M Spec seats. They are far more comfortable too, as the sides adjust in far more for skinny people like me.
-
We have a 300m long gravel driveway at work so I don't really bother cleaning mine very often, and it only takes about 3 days for the rear end to turn black from fuel. One thing I did notice going from a black car to a white one is that bugs are really hard to clean off the front bumper. They leave nasty red smears everywhere that take about 10 minutes of hardout scrubbing to get rid of.
-
I think the Toyo Proxies T1-S are a bloody good tyre for the price you are paying for them.

I bought my '98 R33 with 96,000km on it. Came with all papers etc from the previous owner in Japan. You can never tell by looking at items like Steering wheel etc, as it depends on what the car has been used for. It was fairly obvious that my car had been used for drifting and because of it my steering wheel is completely worn.

Looks like Kei-Office to me. Their website isn't going at the moment but it is www.kei-office.co.jp. From memory if they are similar to mine they are around about a 10kg spring rate in the front, and 9kg in the rear. Kei-Office are apparently rated way up high in the top ten for suspension in Japan also as they are built by Keiichi Tsychiya (the Drift King of Japan).
