I have onwed the car for 6 years. It has been fun, but my wife is very keen to extend our family, so i am looking to get a wagon for her. Yes, i will be buying another imported turbo'ed car, but sadly the R33 just will not be big enough..

I have spent lots of time sorting the car out, it handles very well, has lots of grip and is a fairly well rounded car. I have not managed to put it down the quater mile or onto a circuit.. but i want to! It has only ever been really driven on the skid pan.. those who have been to a skid day with me will telll you how i treat it..

Other than that, it is a true daily driver. I really do drive it to work EVERYDAY, cos i'm lazy and refuse to walk!

$16 000

here is the car in action early last year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=327VTZhDojo

not yet. My freind and i only did a street tune on it.

I am planning to get a better tune at Christmas time, it will probably end up just a fine tune.

it does actually go quite hard. my mates 290hp vl couldn't keep up..

If i sell it before then, it will get a tune before i hand it over.

Most GTR's on the time trial on the skid days i run struggle to keep its pace..

that help?

ok already.. stop with the PM's about the switch on the oil line..

its an oil pressure switch for a safe guard to make sure there is always oil there!

I had an oil line burst once..

it fried my old turbo and the engine bled itself dry! Cost me a new engine and turbo!

it beeps it head off if there is less than 7 psi pressure.. like if u stall it!

satisfied?

      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.
