Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Saw a guy filling up a blue 33 GTST this morning with 91 octane and when i aked him what he was doing he goes i put octane booster in.

does he not realise that 91 is the best that fuel will ever be and if it has been sitting it is probably more like 88 or 89!!!!

Do not know what octane booster he is using but as far as i know they can only lift the octane rating up to 5 points which would still put him in the range of a blown motor!!!

Plus i have found that octane booster tends to foul the plugs ig not used out on the track or on a hill run.

just my observations

Had an interesting morning so far.

Got pulled over by the po-po in front of Prince Alfred College earlier - random bretho, cop was a nice chap who asked if I get pulled over much and explained that the criminals that steal the cars are more to blame for pullovers than anything, which is understandable. Took all of 5 minutes and they let me go, was not a drama at all - they didnt even ask to see my licence...

then im driving down port rush road and this ranga mofo that looks like jacko jackson sticks his head out of the passenger window of the magna he was travelling in, and yells at me "I f**kEN HATE BUSINESS C***S"

OK so I'm in a skyline and I have a collared shirt. Shoot me. Would've love to have NOT been caught in traffic, would have loved to have said something about him being an inbred bogan ranga mofo, but for all I know he was a methhead who wanted to punch on. Ahhh fun times. I just wish I was allowed to pack a gun and execute these vermin as I see fit (kind of like Judge Dredd but in a GTR instead of a bike)..

For those interested in seeing what the Work Emotion 11Rs look like, I sold them and bought a set of gold Advan RG2s in GTR offsets for my Evo 8. End result should be something like this, in silver, minus the stickers...

the filter thread on your car is M20x1.5, it's the non VTC SR20's that are 3/4x16. I would keep the 3/4 thread in the filter block and change the one that bolts to the engine as there is more filter availability in the 3/4 thread.

Better yet go to Racespec and get one of these;

Well hopefully i've now fixed my coolant leak (dodgey genuine water pump), and my reversion problem caused by my hard intake pipe. Be the first time i've driven it in about 3 weeks!

      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.
