just curious about some figures about getting it done at a workshop? how much roughly??

i looked at the DIY thread and it seems a little much for me to tackle, plus i want to make sure its done right. :O just

looking at getting the belt installed, thats it.

looking at about $250 to $300 to fit (at $90/hr). about $120 to buy the belt. get them to look at your water pump to, if a bit iffy then get it replaced to. had mine done about 2 months ago. cost me $550 including fitting a fuel pump and dyno'ing the safc2. gates belts can be a bit noisey by the way

I wouldnt be too hung up about what your odometer says, there are 2 cetainties about all jap imports, they are from Japan and the speedo has been wound back. Unless you bought it in Japan yourself chances are its done well over 100k. I bought mine at 42k, with a non factory timing belt, go figure, Ive go no idea how many mine has done.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
