Bought the mag last night.

Looks pretty good for a 4 door, but the article says you did it on the cheap, (tight budget) but bought the car for $5000. It must have cost you a bomb to get it to the point it is now, so how can it be anything cheap.

I just finished a conversion and I know what that cost me and it wasn't what I thought it would be.

Anyway, good looking gadget it is, must be fun to drive, I know what mine is like with just 140.

Cheers, D

Unfortunately I didnlt get a say in the writing of the story, I bought the car 9 years ago for 5 grand!

Everything on the car I have done myself except for a few things like the exhaust and tuning.

Being a wualified Panelbeater, painter and mechanic, the cost of labour was never an issue.

And yea.....it is heaps of fun to drive....it get sback out onto the track this sunday, the car has not seen a circuit event (besides drift events) for around 4 years now, so hopefully it will return some good times.

yeah... i was thinking the same thing and didn't want to be the killjoy, but now that someone else has said something....

Posting the article up here means that people who would have gone out to buy it, probably won't bother buying it now.

If people want to see articles on particular vehicles, this is going to be reflected directly by the number of units the magazine sells when certain vehicles are featured.

If they sell less magazines when certain cars are in there, (because people are scanning articles instead of paying for them) the magazines will stop featuring those sorts of cars because they don't sell enough copies.

Maybe you should consider taking the pics down (at least until the issue is no longer available in stores) so that people go out and buy it.

.....otherwise they'll just say to themselves "we featured that 31, and sold 2000 less copies, let's not do that again!"

Yep, I had never thought of that.

I have taken the pics down, dont want to cause any problems.

GO OUT AND BUY IT PEOPLE!

John did they offer to provide you with (or sell to you) any other photos which were taken during the shoot? (other than those posted above)

That centre one would look really nice blown up.... have you got a higher res version? :(

Yea....the photographer gave me a disk with the photos on it.

And for our first wedding anniversary, Kelly got a huuge poster made up and framed with a few pics of the car on it!

You realise that article is copyright? It's not yours to simply distribute as you please.

Do you not think that maybe a pm about this would've been more appropriate?

Great idea K :) this is what i did for our anniversary :)

No. It is a matter that ALL forum members need to be mindful of. And I said it because a moderator didn't / couldn't / wouldn't.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
