Yeah when I first told my Dad who lives in M'sia that I bought my Skyline (34GTT) he thought i'd struck it rich!! He said there was one in the yard in KK for RM$1XX,XXX! :)

Hey Nismo

I had the same experience as you, but when i told them that a Honda Accord & Camry cost almost the same they then realise that it the look of the 34 GTT makes it look so expensive.

Anyway the GTT is a great car and of course someday i hope to get the GTR when the price is right. Still waiting for the 2007 GTR to launch then we know what the current 34 price will be. Now is best to just mod the GTT to my satisfaction...Cheers bro!

I'm from Kuching and yeap I have seen that car in flesh. It's about 30,000kms but the asking price was about $105,000 AuD. Cars there are much more expensive than in Australia. That car is now sold as far as I know. And in Kuching, in my memory there is only about 3 or 4 on the road. If u wanna try to find a dyno machine better send ur car to KL or maybe Brunei because there is none in Kuching.

I'd love to setup a Dyno in Kuching but theres noway of recovering the costs of the dyno but then had the idea of Miri because i think i could get work from Brunei.People in Sarawak would not want to pay over 1000rm for a tune but the costs would have to be that high to cover the cost of the Dyno.

Hello Tan Sri Drift... good to see you somewhere out of ZTH.. hehe.. Hey, there's 3 cheap R34GTRs on ZTH for sale.. dont know about it tho, sounds kinda dodgy with the customs issue and all..

Guys: sorry havent been posting here lately, been spending some time with the family back home..

Slippery: Jaffri's advice is spot on, but also if you're in the Sunway area, you might want to check out places like Links, N1, Wangan & Quatermile to name a few. Quatermile has sort of a joint-venture with Autoselect Japan for tuning & Autoselect parts, and Wangan has good contacts for Tomei parts & TopSecret Carbon Fibre bits.. :laugh:

Yeah, there are lots of Evo wannabes around... my 34 GTR has been in Penang for a while as my parents live there, but Penang has horrible roads. Havent seen a 33 or 32, but a few 34 GTTs...

Im still in the US, and some parts from Tomei have finally arrived. Pics at this link.

How I wish I was there to be able to feel and caress all the shiny bits! :) Good thing the missus is around to do so for me and take the pics.

Major work will start in about 2 weeks when the counter crankshaft arrives.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      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?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      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).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      By f00stx · Posted

      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).
