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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • 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.
