U'r lucky this is SAU and I'm not an admin here :)

I meant that people have replaced seals and then the car has done a Turbo shortly after.

which seals are we talking bout here? gaskets or turbo bearing seals?

btw pulling the front and rear off turbos are easy n wont stuff anything up.. if u start pulling the cartridge apart thats when ull have troubles

Kushil - My Series II only had POD (enclosed, cold air feed and heat shielding foam) Turbo back exhaust and the factory dual stage boost bypassed so it would run 7psi all the time. At a guess, the car would've made 140-145rwkw's? It had Bilstien Shocks, King Springs, 265 rubber (rears 235 front) and a strut brace so it was fun to drive having come from an NA FWD Celica. The R makes my Series II feel like a stock NA silvia. The power and handling is not comparable. I friend of mine who drives a fairly modded 185awkw WRX explained that he didn't want to race me on the strip or track after going for a ride in it.

I was under the impression that moving into a GTR would just be a heavier, slightly better handling and more powerful Skyline but the difference between the two cars is much bigger than that. Drive one and you'll understand better, good luck on your purchase!

NB: To be fair, the R has more mods than my last car by the way.

Bugger.......ya...i got the same sort of mods in my GTST...no cold air shilelding though....and still on factory boost...probably a bit slower than you car.......

thankx for the info..

NB: To be fair, the R has more mods than my last car by the way. I am preety sure it has ???....

I have always seen the 33's as a 'not rare enough for me' type car, maybe its just GTST's. But when I see the GTR's up close and in Midnight Purple I start to like them more and more.

But counting all the 32GTR's in Australia now I'm not one to talk :O ..... :P

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
