Keen as to buy a house soon, and to keep the Line would be really hard with maintenece and modding and really you could drive down the road anyday and BANG get a defect, and there goes the fun right there...........

So unfortunatly i would prob leave the import stage for a while whilst i sort my financial things out first!

There would be a few things i'd need to clean up on the beast before selling, So it wont be too soon, but still hopefully in the nearish future!

made the same rational choice, hence driving the r34 right now.

Feeling bad every now and then, a very painful path.

Something i thought i should get something real slow so I can completely forget about performance and 100% concentrate on the goal

lol, been there and done all that - its soooo true, it really does go round full circle

car (LT celica), car (VW Type 3), car (ford eb), buy house sell car, bike (gpx250), car (pulsar n15), bike (zx9r), surgery sell bike, recover buy another bike (cbr900), car (VR v8), 2nd car (nubira), sell house buy new house, sell the V8 buy the import (Stagea)

yep, full circle :D

$7500 so sad, so cheap, toooo cheap. Oh well.

Damn car re-sellers ! Damn the ball boys too while we are at it.

Oh late November.

It's to much registering 2 cars and insuring them while driving 800 km to work each week. And then driving through the hills on the weekend in the line was getting a bit expensive.

I'm going to save until tax return time and see what i'll do.

love the look of your car man

id love a skyline like that, minus some of the extra engine mods ( keep the fuel bill down a bit lol :mad:

Well mine will be for sale soon, and if you really want it im sure there would be a couple of people here to buy some parts off of it! or just leave it how it is and not use the right foot as much! i found the later to work quite well! :)

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
