You'll all get a ride sooner or later :) .... I really don't think it's as exciting as you all make out :D .... and she'll be fairly stock, so it will be no PCOTY in terms of performance!

come on, u are asking about high flow turbo in other thread :crazy:

that GCG will pull 265rwkw! :uh-huh:

Sam - nah she is not sold yet - have had a few bites, but still waiting for the right person to come along.

Chapman - I am still throwing around various ideas at the moment - but I promised Carolyn I wouldn't be spending any money on this car. So I have already broken that promise, but I don't intend to spend much more.

I am, however, worried about the fragile nature of the nylon impeller on the R34 turbo -

hence my thoughts about a GCG rebuild/high flow.

Duc - nah not yet - I have other much more important things to spend money on at this stage. Plus, those roof-mounted things are illegal to use while the car is moving - as it supposedly distracts drivers behind you. If/when I do it, they will be 2 headrest mounted screens. I am hoping to put an all-in-one double din LCD screen/TV/DVD/MP3 player in sooner or later - like this one http://www.brashimports.com.au/CA1605.htm - just have to find the money first. I am hoping to come home from Vegas after some nice winnings and it may fund this and other mods. Fingers crossed.

hahah..

Sounds like a few lines I have thrown my other half.

Here's a few. :)

I need a new motor as this one has done quite a few kays and is 13yrs old, if we want to drive interstate we should really have a reliable new motor. :(

I need a PFC as the tune isn't the best and it will stuff the motor up if we drive interstate, it will also return better fuel economy.

I need injectors as they are maxed out and its dangerous for them to be running like that, the current ones are buggered and new ones that flow better will return better fuel economy for the drive interstate.

I need a bigger turbo as this one is running at its max all the time which is going to have it blow soon, if it blows it may damage the motor and we don't want it blowing while driving interstate.

:D

yeah, unfortunately (money-wise) we are shortly going on a month-long holiday to the USA, so money isn't exactly plentiful. But you get that.

Yes, the bill for getting it on the road is climbing and climbing - but now is the best time to play with wheels/disks, exhaust etc, while it is off the road! It will have quite a few toys, you know I can't help myself! But, it's still gonna be stock *cough* *cough*

Hey guys! I got it through the group buy that GR33dy organised, for $940 delivered. It left japan on friday, got to melbourne on monday, adelaide on monday night, and arrived here yesterday, then i picked it up at lunchtime today :D only problem is i have no car to install it in :D

    • 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.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
