Looking factory... :mellow:

Any reason you went 33 over 32?

Yep. Flashbacks to my old R32 GTSt kept me from buying one in the end. My old 32 had so many problems. Had one lined up that was in amazing condition but then this came up.

This is a S2 GTR too so it gets a couple more ticks in the newness department, brembos, airbags and not much tradeoff in weight.

casue there 10000 sweeter :mellow:

nice pics man, where abouts were they taken

Thanks - They're taken about 350 km east of Adelaide on a property off the Sturt Hwy. I drove this car 1400km from Adelaide to Sydney and I guess this is about 70km before Mildura. There are some really awesome rolling plains and these taken at sunset came out the best.

Wish I took my DSLR+tripod to get some HDR photos.

Theres more pics on my gallery thing: http://www.sewid.org/gallery/v/myCarGaller...3/RoadTripHome/

Yup, 34 GTR.

Looks alright Kris. I originally fell in love with white 33's but ended up with the 34 for some reason... What's it got? Specs goddammit. I want specs!!

Yep I had a black 34 v-spec. It was great but too much money locked up in it to thrash it like I should.

I fell in love with white and that has been my top pick for colour. Pretty much wanted a white 33 ever since I saw Mik's S3 almost 2 years ago now.

She has a good foundation, forged internals, some minor head cleanup, strong exedy clutch, baffles all round. Just needs some bolt ons to make her come alive. Standard displacement and standard turbos for now. Likely going to grab another pair of GT-SS's I liked them so much on my last car.

Anyway, this car is in about the best condition inside + out i've seen for a 33 and considering that plus the almost new rebuild etc it was a steal.

... I drove this car 1400km from Adelaide to Sydney and I guess this is about 70km before Mildura. ...

You drove 1400km already! Isn't that more than you ever drove the 34? :mellow:

Congrats on the purchase mate. It's tidy now.. look forward to seeing what you make of it :ninja:

Hahaha yeah. 1000km just yesterday. It's very tiring to listen to the exhaust on the thing tho it's a straight through pipe with one crappy muffler. Well over the legal noise limit im sure. Going for a Kakimoto to quieten it down I think.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
