yeah fuel prices mostly, but also been too busy since quitting my job... how ironic! (not that I ever bumped into anyone when I was out anyway!)

...also trying to decide whether I should upgrade the R33 NA bodykit before upgrading to a R34 GTT... hmmm.

U have NA R33 ? i thought u have a GTST ? or u have the NA kit ? WTF..so confusing. :)

so u gonna sell your line to get R34 GTT yeah ? or just R34 body for GTST to replace NA kit..? :)

Hey guys, any of you see a stockish looking white r33 with white avs rims and a zorst cruising around it will most likely be mine.

I bought it from the gold coast just over a week ago and havnt really been driving it around yet.

im still getting over the cost of running a turbo car.

going from $40 for 600ks in the pulsar to $80 for 450 in the 33 is a shock.

anyways if anyone see's me give me a wave. i work in brisbane during the week with energex and am only home on the weekends at the moment.

I see this around from time to time. I'm in the red Lexus normaly

LOL!

I currently still have the R33 GTS (NA) - I never had a GTST. I have already done the extractors and full Zetti exhaust thing, but I am now looking at doing one of the following:

a) keep the NA for another year after spending some money on upgrading the bodykit (this is becoming an attractive option with the fuel prices screwing up my ideas of turbo power)

b) sell the NA in a few months and upgrade to an R34 GTT

I just can't decide whether it would be a waste of money upgrading the bodykit on the NA, or whether it would help when it came time to sell it.

Thoughts?

Personally bro..i would sell the N/A and save up for a GTT.

even if u upgrade the N/A body kit,. i might boost up the sale a bit but i doubt u be getting much of your money spent considering whatever u do..its still an N/A..as most people who buys GTS would wish they bought a GTST instead..coz they always want to go faster..u know what i mean yo ?

leave the car as it is now..sell it as it is..let the new owner decide.. and just save up for your GTT.

thats my 50cent right there..

G-G-G-G-G-G Unit YO..! :mrt:

yeah I don't think anyone buys a GTS coz they really want a GTS - they buy one for one of two reasons: they are young and can't afford the insurance of a turbo but still want a Skyline, or they are upgrading from a 1980 Toyota Celica, feel the power increase of a GTS would be sufficient for a couple of years, and have heard that any GTS being imported from Japan is going to be a reliable car due to the fact that no one is going to thrash a GTS!

Most people probably fall into that second group, so there should still be a market when it comes to selling a GTS'. :mrt:

Yeah i know he thrashed the sh*t out of that car and if i remember correctly, he tried to sell it on ns.com saying it had a full forged rebuild and was good for 400kw, unfortunately the guy who owned the car previously came along and ruined all that for him.

the thread go to about 20 pages before it was locked.

I can't remember your blue 32 but ill keep an eye out for it.

cheers

nah mate, i get paid for every km i drive plus the time im in the car, hence driving down and back everytime, quite a pay packet by the end of the week.

Probably not the best thing putting a heap of k's a week on my new car, but I guess themoney outweights that in the end..

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
