How's that a fake GT-R? Do you see any GT-R badges on it? All that resembles this car to a GT-R is a nice fast lift of a genuine bar, and a got set of R33 GT-R hwels to fill out the guards. If you know what you're looking at and truly passionate you would appreciate a car like this.

Gorgeous shots Tim - All the best with the car mate.

I hate fake GTR's with a passion!

Well, good things its not your car then :) I love the fact that you would HATE my car then :P I think I should put GTR badges on it to annoy people. But truth is I am waiting for some nice new GTSt decals from Nissan which it will wear with pride :(

Exactly how I'm envisioning mine to look like in the near future except in black. Pure understated goodness!!

Well done on the purchase Tim. Great looking example

Hey Steve that's your old car yeah?

Still looking good!

Sure is mate :P I know Tim will take great care of her and keep her looking awesome.

My new car will be in the R33 pics thread soon - Purchased some HKS Coilovers I'm about to put in tomorrow and then I'll take some photos of the R. Will also be looking for some gunmetal 18x10 XD9's. If you see a set selling locally any time in the near future give us a yell :)

max what are the sizes of your wheels + tyres + any suspension mods?

Runnin Tein Coilovers maxed out

18x9 -2 215/40/18 front

18x10 -1 225/40/18 rear

Slight pull in front and .. huge pull in rear. I don't suggest this size on any GTST that is stock body. A big pull like that will mess up your fender as you can see on the closeup. I'm also running alot of negative camber.

BN rear, lose the rear wiper and maybe some east bear or bomex mirrors done, looking very cool

Haha!

I think you should have went with a R34 as you got the wheels and spoiler... ;)

Jokes.

Yeah you gota update your signature as well.

Heh!

Yeh, the wheels were borrowed from a friend while my TE37s were ebing stripped so we could re-paint them. They came up awesome, cant wait to get them on the car next week.

As for the rear wing, its rather hit and miss for me. I got it because i wanted a functional wing for track days. Was concerned many of the big aftermarket wings were more parachutes and drag adding then down force adding...so went with something that is obviously reasonable from the factory. I have a second boot lid that got painted up so it will be going on for street duties.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
