yer... they'll get common as all hell thats for sure, even more so than now where a reasonable R32 gts-t is like $14k. Many R33 owners will change i think.. I'm even considering it. Its scary actually when you think about it - 200rwkw+ in the hands of many 18 year olds :-|

I still think those ones are a bit too good to be true if u ask me.. Keeping it in storage in Japan till next year tho??? I wouldn't be so trusting of how that is going to work out myself. I am always cautious in believing too much until i see it...but maybe i am wrong..

Makes me think they may actually change the 15 year rule, that one has just stayed the same hasn't it as its been for a couple of years?? Whereas the post 15 year cars have to be now rock stock..

who gives a crap if they become common... GOOD. and they still wont be anywhere near as common as a commonwhoreadore.

has to be the lamest excuse ive ever heard not to bother getting a car... if ur all worried about having common cars why do u have a R33s?

btw dont go thru prestige... just get someone reliable to get the same car... its not hard

there will NEVER be as many GTRs on the rd as a crapadore... are there as many R33s? not QUITE... are they any less because of them? not at all.

the more the merrier... if it ever gets to the point (which it wont) that there are as many GTRs as SSs then that means one good thing... CHEAP and ABUNDANT PARTS

Really though, how many 89 GTRs are there in japan (or were built at all) and how many will find homes in Aus? Still not as many as bloody R33 GTS-ts!

yes there is wayyyy 2 many r33's around, but most of em are the series1's not many series 2's around

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
