hi there lucy, arent doing to much cruising lately, broke. Just had to fork out $860 for new afm and dyno, so working an extra day each week. mind you do manage to shoot down to see a mate down burton usally once a week. dont think you would be interested in sitting with a bunch of guys in a small smoke filled room for a couple of hours though.

by the way mind was in the gutter for a minute there. dont think the wife would be happy though {married for 5years and a little girl {2 1/2 year old}}. mind you if your up to that then maybe could very well make that offer work. the ride that is. lol

hi there :)

another GTS-4 owner here next best thing to a GTR is GTS-4

THats it.... nothing better than a heavy non turbo slug? Even if you tub it you still have 300 -400 kilos extra to contend with compared to a gtst. (On the other hand you will have 4wd which apart from a great launch gets pretty fricking boring after a while- ie no drift).. Dont buy a non turb skyline ie gts4 evenif it has been tubbed (lacking brakes and other goodies that come stock on the turbo models).. (you may be happy with it at first but down the track you will want something faster that you can play around with a little more... Get a gtst and bolt a huge tub on it --- sooooooo muich fun!!!!! Rotors can be alot of fun too but a biaaaaaatch to maintain!!!!!

gts-4 is a gtst with 4wd

not true with the R33 but true for the R32 GTS-4

the R33 came RB25DE

(On the other hand you will have 4wd which apart from a great launch gets pretty fricking boring after a while- ie no drift)

u obviosuly havnt seen mine driving just ask iceduc and vange :D they can beet me on launch

and u do get used to not having 4spot calipers but also engine braking is braking @ 4 wheels too is slows alot quicker

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
