Yeah gets boring quickly. I have 270rwkw and am trying to resist the temptation to go for 300+.

haha 300+ still gets boring...but then you have to start looking at powering a couple of extra wheels to enjoy it more...i.e. GTR :whistling:

300rwkw in our gtst has a similiar power to weight as a gtr/gts4 pushing 340-350rwkw. :S

Weight it is....

Mafia.. If you want to improve acceleration and remove some lag drop a set of 4.3 diff gears in your r33. Its a noticable improvement over the 4.11 and 4.08's. I've recently went from 4.08 back to 4.3's as I was bitterly dissapointed. All though first gear was a little more usable second+ sucked in comparison.

I 'assumed' the slightly longer gearing would provide a little more load for the turbo resulting in earlier boost and mask the longer gearing. Definitely not so infact nothing of the like. :yes:

The longer gearing made the car feel laggy as it spent more time in the off boost rev range trying to accelerate in to the 'boost zone' lol :)

4.3's FTW. Definitely recommended.

Those with gtr's look at a set of gts4 4.375:1 diff ratio, the r32 gts4 gearbox also runs slightly shorter ratio's in the first couple of gears and by model/part number the same gtr gearbox just different ratio = same strength.

Quite freaked out how much the lower ratio reduces the lag feel.

lol read what you posted - its confusing as hell!

So the 4.3's will make it less laggier?

What sort of cost is involved? Will it be just as strong?

An R200 is an R200. Plenty strong apart from the open wheeling vlsd's once you start to push some decent power through them.

Crown and pinion from an r32 gtst diff, have it setup with your housing and center for ~$200.

Regarding cars that are quick...... The only car that has made me think wow... was cruising along side Jays 450rwkw Cressida. It sounds awesome and looks the business as it accelerates off. Under 400-350rwkw just doesn't seem to look like its going all that quick. :)

I can't comment on darrens 470rwkw rb30 as I haven't seen it in action. :yes:

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
