I was of the understanding it was party time at your place...

yes thats what i hear too :laugh:

No one cares about skylines anymore, I think a MX5 with and angry rotary sound would get heaps more attention

Well from those who know somthing about cars anyway, the GTR will still pick up lots of 16 year old boys who think GTRs are invincible.

The conversion has been done before, I think thay had a few problems findin a gear box that fits but apart from that everything was sweet

ur a hater >_<

I still cannot believe IanB is giving GTS-T's a hard time after his pwning last night!! I had to slow down to 60k's and wait a full 30 seconds for him to catch up on the twisty bits coming down from Nebo to Samford. Just face facts Ian, the GTS-T is just as good when it isn't raining!!!!! My car is heavier and has less power but the suspension work is where the gains come on the twisties!!

put the same mods on both a gtr and gts-t and then go back racing...

I see your point Shane, but what choices are made by owners and in which direction they go is entirely up to them. Some (most) want straight line speed while others want a car that handles. I have opted for a little from Collumn A and a little from Collumn B.

And I'm still not happy with some aspects of my car (don't mention the paint!)

You are spending a motza on your engine and taking a long time to do it, but have you done any work on the handling??

this was the exact same questions thrown at me from Anna when i first started moddin the car.

i only recently notice how much work needed to be done to suspension because of the down force on the rear stock suspension.

the only reason i touched the engine is that 2 weeks after i bought it, it went bang! i always intended on doing the 3ltr conversion (i just happened to have a block in the shed waiting) and i thought im not doing it again, so may aswell do it while its out.

also i'll have the suspension and brakes upgraded by the feb 2 track day >_<

but in all honesty, i woulda loved to have kept my gtst, and looking back at pictures of it, im thinking about buying it back :laugh:

Dave...

I went slow on the samford leg for quite a few reasons... I was out of fuel and very out of breaks. Besides, once you go past jollies you get into nebo village and there are a fair few people there sleeping / living there, I like to keep the speed down through there so as to not piss them off.

Will see how it all go's once I get the coilovers and break upgrades in.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
