So I sold my 34 Gt-t so i could buy property.

Had plans to convert the 2.7 911 project i have with my bro to a 3.2ltr engine.

After finding 4 different 3.2's which all failed to pass leakdown tests, we have decided to sell the 911.

Im going to need another car, I was thinking about a 33 GTR V-Spec, because that is in my price range.

Has anyone made the R34 to R33 transition?

Any thing else worth looking at?

Any thoughts would be appreciated because i cant make up my mind.

Hey Phil,

i did that transition just then. :(. power wise i have to say there is quite a bit of a difference. In terms of condition of the car, i was fine with the adjustment from the newer R34 to the older R33.

Interior wise u'll definitely see and feel the difference. It is slightly bigger in the R33 GTR.

In terms of driving, the Attesa in the GTR is REALLY REALLY REALLY different from the GTT. That is something you have to get used to and best thing to do is to go for an advance driver's course. Controlling the car is different.

when i was gtr shopping a few months ago i was told not to realy look for the vspecs, once the diff screws up or woteva you cant realy fix it ?? and aparantly most ppl cant tell the differance between the 2 on the 33's

Out of the 3 vspecs i saw though, 1 was real with the diff, the other 2 just had the vspec stickers.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

      Blue slip

      @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

      Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.

      Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.

      Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
