Well i just wanted to share my thoughts at the moment!

I bought an R34 GTR V-Spec II, because i love the car, i love the heritage and i love what they can do. I never thought i was a great driver, but i thought i could drive it reasonably well and thought i had seen what it could do. That was until about 30 minutes ago when i was driving with a mate, he is a competitive drifter and frequents QR but ill let him remain nameless at the stage. I let him take over control, he having never driven a GTR and we headed for some windy roads, like really tight windy stuff where your basically sitting in the middle of second gear and up to the limiter. He absolutely threw what i thought the GTR could do out the window, shat on it, and then kept going. The MFD has never experienced so much action lol, i don't think the tires stopped squeeling for about 20 minutes and i didn't think it was possible to get a GTR as sideways as he did! He was an awesome driver and i definately have a new found respect for the experience and skills the track can give you.

All i really wanted to get at out of all this is that im so so so far past incredibly impressed with what the car just did and went through in a fairly standard condition, im scared to think what its like once you get another few hundred horses under it. I love you nissan, thank you for building a truly amazing affordable supercar.

And yes, i may sound like a schoolboy that just shot his first load, thats probably because i feel that way :D

Hey Ben, good to see you enjoying the car, just the wrong place for it. Why not come along Tuesday to QR and watch a bit of racing, and maybe sign up for a track day in the future?

Much better than the possibility of a writeoff or losing the car under hoon laws.

I do completely agree with you there! I am going to come along to QR and get involved in track days. That experience made me aware of just how much fun track days could be! Losing the car would have been a very painful experience at that point in time :rofl:

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • 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.
