yeah its been a three week labour funkymonkey haha.

yes ant she is now mine!! i am so going to either lose my license or kill myself she is actually faster than the skyline.

Great stuff Niz......I know how capable they are....I was up against one at a deca day in Vic...only power mods were intake and exhaust but it had a crap load of suspension work.....even my 200rwkw gtst was humbled by it (not by much but even so).

Enjoy it and I hope to see you at a track or skidpan soon :huh:

  • 3 weeks later...

Nice car niz, I have been sorely missing a turbo car and have been thinking about what to get as my next ride. A mate bought one of these a yellow limited ed one and I went for a drive in it the other day (basic modes, exhauast, pod filter, better suspension) and I was amazed at the low down torque and overall acceleration... i might have to look at one of these :)

nah jezz decided it wasnt for her .....its gone to a new home in rockingham so maybe some of the RICE crew might see it around .... but i doubt it. Its this guys first import - had VK statesmens and stuff like that before. In the end it sold for $14.5K

I had a cry! then i sat in my new project :rolleyes:

yeah but when importers are selling them for about $8K and other people with the same configuration are selling them for $15K .... not much of a choice. Unfortunately a vehicle is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it ...... plus it gets paulie off my back about selling it.

Admittingly my R33 wasn't exactly in perfect - there was a little bit of race tape on there where the corner of the front spoiler had been ripped and a trolley ding in the side etc.

Dan Im not going to argue with that its becoming scary in fact!!

Maybe i should even get a job as a carsalesperson :)

I've started even going off in threads (not these forums) "Should I by this car" it's like why the hell do you need a thread to ask every john, dick and harry should you buy a car or not - we aint going to be driving it, we aint going to be paying for it ..... if you like it and can afford it then the only person left ot give it the okay is an mechanic. Geez .... hahaha maybe that should go in the "what really grinds my gears thread" people that have to bring a committee or consult a committee of people before making a decision that at the end of the day will only effect them.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
