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.

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
