Yup, came through on the list. (Must admit, some interesting 15 year cars have come through. Nice Unimog. Lol)

Anyways, I was after a cheap R32 (Since have a R34 for a daily driver) for some drift work.

R31's are not my mug of coffee, yet it is something different from the norm in the Drift scene (180's, Silvia's)

Have my eyes on a GTS-4 coupe that the dealer wants $18,000 for. A bit steep. Might be the go for a sprint/track/drift car. (After making a switch for the AWD)

If I put my hand up for this GTS-X, the first thing to go would be the monster tach, then the Pine Tree air freshener.....(Give the cup holder to R31 Skyline Chick) Close the glove box, Take the stickers off it, might not regster it so to keep the cage in it. Dunno.

Anyways, has most of the goods allready on it, and it is a Skyline!

It's cheap for the mods on it.......Just wondering how laggy the T04R is with a 2.4 stroker kit.?

  • 2 weeks later...

for 13,500 its very good landed, alot of stockish gts-x go for around the 11,000 mark. so with the cooler 2.4stroker and turbo its worth the extra 2,500 cause its gonna cost u more than that to do those mods.

where do u get all these emails from with these cars going up for auction????

Roy, no, did not go for this one (Nice tho!)

The wife said we allready had a 'play' car (4 door R34 a play car?)

She wanted a 4x4.

So, a compromise was sought. She gets a 4x4, I get a FMIC and maybe a sports suspension setup. (If we have enough dosh left over)

Besides, new contract at work involves more time away, so, I guess less track time now! :D (She will be driving the 4x4 to work, allowing me to do some mods to the R34)

    • 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.
