G'day feller's, I finally got my R33 last night...havent taken any pics of it yet, so ill post the ones that were on carsales...:)

Whats the specs on that R33? It looks to be a series 1... but series 2 headlights?

Why fellas, here's my beast... nicknamed Nissie Nismo , making 265 kW's at the wheels and haven't lost a battle yet.

yeah 265kw are u sure, i fitted the cooler in that car, but i've left now cos they like to take everyones cash and use second hand shit and charge it out new way overpricing ppl and then dont pay the staff, cos they are f**kheads who rip your arse, i suggest you remove the sticker of the rear window to save yourself from embarrasment, that lil orange brothel of a workshop on mcintyre rd is a disease and should be burnt to the ground, they are scum and should be shut down, only place on mcintyre rd thats decent is james at O.H, don't go nextdoor to the muppets, notice how it's always the same cars at the front just rearranged, it's cos noone can afford the bill, you were charged a thousand bucks to supply and fit that cooler yeah?, it took me 2.5 hours to fit it and it came from gkteck, so the kit was $450, so u got charged $550 bucks labour to fit a cooler thats $220 bucks and hour bro, dammmnnn. just a warning to anyone who is going over that way, don't get sucked in, with the likes of an x force exhaust system fitted for like $1600 cos they say they are epa approved, well they arent, so once again, rip that damn sticker of it makes me feel ill.

that's a really nice/unique colour you got there

though the twin colour scheme looks weird without the front bar

Yeah the two tone has a real nice funky look to it... just needs a s2 or gtr spoiler, standard s2 type m rear pods and sideskirts and s2 front bar with a lip of some sort on it... with that colour scheme :(

the following pics were taken on the weekend on GODZLR's VERY FIRST driver training day on Saturday. A great day it was, and can't wait to get out there again and learn more about how the car handles etc.

7k launches on a slipping twin plate..why not?

Notice something unusual......

As some may have noticed in one photo, my happy snap camera was attached to my rear numberplate just to see how it went. I tried the front and back plates, and passenger window using my Ixus 65 camera on a Manfrotto window mount (not suction cup)

The videos taken can be viewed here:

Mate, nice car bro.... glad you're enjoying it... just 2 suggestions though... 1) get rid of the towbar as it looks out of place on a Sports car - it's Godzilla not a station wagon.... 2) dump the car down a bit as it looks a bit high...

and oh, I must ask - the front bar doesn't look original genuine GT-R... is this right?

However, no doubt it is a GT-R of course.

dude, what % are those tints. they look good. any trouble seeing out of them at night?

I think they're 15%, I got mine 15% as well with 30 or 35% for the front

it's not as dark looking out from the inside as it looks from the outside

but you'll need those LED ceiling lights that 666DAN is selling

that is if you want to find something in the cabin at night

1) As someone mentioned, it was the happy snap camera attached to the number plate

2) I was waiting for someone to say that.

The car came lowered (on Cusco coilovers), however the dump pipes were like 2 inches off the ground. I use the car for work purposes (when I get the opportunity) and travel through some country areas where pot holes / big deep ditches can be found.

I raised the car to get over the pits first, however after using it at its current raised height for the past few weeks I absolutely love it!! It's not crashing over anything and I don't have to drive on a 45degree angle in car parks or to get up steep driveways. I plan to paint and repair the front lip (couple joins broken), so the raised height will also come in handy in keeping that in good condition.

Sure lowered looks hot, but meh I'm over the whole looks thing. My mum says it sounds like a truck, and now I can say it looks like one too :)

3) The front bar is genuine GT-R, and yes you are correct its a GTR (V-Spec) as well lol. Everything exterior wise is original, except for the Nismo bonnet lip & smoked lenses.

MattyP: Love the car, and the action shots.

But in the still shots, the background is far to busy for my liking (esp. the deli shots). It hides the car too much as the background is such a mix of colours, your car just shaddows in contrast to them.

A nice plain light colourd background would make car stand out :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
