yummy! always loved the look of the old DR's, still not quite as hot as the peter gibson hr's but still quite sexual..... if i was rich i would be on that thing in a heartbeat.

hey they said their negotiable, drop em an offer :verymad:

will peter jackson pay you sponser ship money to drive it?

well i think thats the most ive eva seen someone asking for that model skyline.

shouldnt that be like in a museum somewhere? birdwood maybe, i mean picture writing that off, dont think insurance can replace it

i still think it looks like ass! lol my 33 pwns that over looks... ahaha

like no offence, but if u ever even tried to compared ur car with this ud just be wasting ur time.

f**king nice peice of work, but gotta say the price tag on it does seem a bit steep, even with the history behind it imo.

hopefully the buyer puts it where it belongs, in a museum somewhere.

would be sad to see some clown with more money the brains buy it and kill it, having said that, it would be awesome to see it launch around a track with someone decent behind the wheel.

u guys seriously think that looks good? im not saying the whole car is like ass just saying about the 'looks' i personally dont like it lol.. would you prefer the look of a 33 gtr or a dr30? lol

Edited by gtrkiet

i thought it was r33 you preferred?

for its day, it was an incredibly agressive looking car.

and in 'this day' i would still take the 30, even now it looks mean, and the history behind it adds to the appeal of course.

its mechanical genius and even by todays standard put a top notch driver in it and it would give the super V8s a run for there money

its not a show car thats not what we like about it, its because it was the underdog plus group A touring man

If it wasnt for cars like that the skyline wouldnt have its racing hisotry..... Really what has the R33 or R34 gone down for in history....sweet f/a it was the the 32 and previous that caused the ledgend of godzilla

The owner of this car also has the GIO GT-R. Ex-Gibson employee.

Lots of work done to bring this car back to "as raced" spec.

Actually got to see this car, the Winfield GT-R and one of the R31 T/Cars running around DECA in Shepp. at the Skyline Nationals. Very nice.

All 3 owners are some of the nicest guys you're likely too meet.

    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
