  1. Hi all. So, I'm currently in the process of finding the right R33 GT-R for me to buy. I'm familiar with the differences between v spec and normal spec cars (lower, higher spring rates, ALSD, different front rear torque split versus lateral G force map, takes vertical Gs into account according to some sources etc.), but was slightly worried by one recurring comment about the ALSD being weaker than the conventional LSD. Now I'm not entirely sure yet if I want to modify my car or keep it stock (looking to buy stock or close to stock either way probably), but this does worry me if I do decide to pursue mods. Is this assessment of the ALSD's strength correct? How much of a problem is it? Are we talking just more regular maintenance and parts or catastrophic failure if pushed past a certain point? Are there any guidelines as to limits of the ALSD? If it's fine I'd probably slightly preference getting a v spec car, if it's a problem I might avoid them. Thanks in advance for your help, and sorry for asking - I have tried searching both this forum and the Internet more broadly for a solid answer but couldn't find anything definitive.
  2. Hi Guys I'm after a R34 GTR Factory steering wheel. Must be awesome condition / as new. Thanks in advance. Dan
  3. Hello Thought I’d take time share with you my GTR. I’ve been a member on SAU since the early days – April 2002. Started on here as a young guy in my early 20’s – just sold my VP HSV and was looking to buy a R33 GTSt which were just starting to be sold at the yards around that time. After owing the GTSt, I moved onto Supras, Evo’s and various R33 and R34 GTR’s over the last 10 years. Although I loved the 2JZ Supras – the car that I always loved the most and always gives me the best memories – was my 2001 R34 GTR V Spec II. 2001 GTR V Spec II 1998 GTR Supra 2010 Shelby GT500 Being without a GTR for a number of years I decided I would start quietly keeping an eye out in Japan for my next car. I am very particular about my cars – extremely fussy – so I was in no rush – browsing the yards in Japan is half the fun. I was after a car in Japan – I had to be first owner in Australia. I was after a quality modified car – standard or near standard cars was not an option – as had many and I was looking for something more hardcore. Wanted a car built in Japan, of the highest quality, genuine low km, etc etc. This car would be a keeper – something I will spend time in with my sons, enjoy, etc. I was actually looking for a 34 …. when I received an email from Global Auto in Japan (where I had purchased the Autoselect R34 GTR the week before)……..

Just arrived at their yard – before they put it for sale would I be interested. Upon looking at the pictures and quick call to check over some details – I purchased it immediately. When bringing the car to Australia – I decided to ship the GTR directly to GT AUTO in Brisbane. As I’m in Perth – I entrusted Tim and Dave to look after the car for me - service, minor upgrades and tuning needed to be done. I cannot speak highly enough of the boys at GT Auto in Brisbane – who took nothing but amazing care of my car.
