don't get a 300zx! hold our for the r33 - they are far superior! the 300zx's are cops of cars - heavy, weak engines, hard to work on (have u seen the engine bay??) not to mention lack of seating in the rear (even in the 2+2) i know they're cheaper and more power, but you'll have way more mechanical problems with it and the power only makes up for the weight.

seriously the 33 is a great car i haven't had a problem with mine in a year and a half - but if u really want a 300zx, wait til 1st jan next yr and get an '89 for like $7.5k - check out www.prestigemotorsport.com.au and go to stock. (not affiliated)

fair nuff thats pretty quick - the r33 na does 7.3 (manual) stock. Tho with a small amount of mods (exhaust & pod filter mainly (bout $400), extractors ($350), hi flo cat ($300) & super afc II ($550) - if ur keen) u'd easily break that time and have what i consider to be a nicer/more practical car -

but that's just my 2 c ;)

did i mention that in a stock locking r33 i've never been pulled over by the cops in 1.5 years with p plates up? :) dunno how many 300s wouldnt get pulled over ?

hey i just realised i know a guy selling a r33 na 5spd gunmetal grey type m (front bar & skirts) - other than that stock i think - maybe exhaust - i don't know him that well tho... he hasn't advertised his car but he's got a sticker up - he might want slightly higher tho like 14k... i'll check it out

actually i heard he might wanna keep it cos he got a call from a some hot chick who saw him in his car and called the for sale number and now hes r&%ting her!!! hahahaha

naiwiboo is right, next year you can get a sweet '89 model twin-turbo 300 (which is the same shape as the '90, '91, '92 model etc.) for sweet f.a. And n/a's for even less. If you're serious about a 300, you might as well wait another 6 months and import an '89 model and get in under the 15 year rule. Believe me, you'll appreciate the savings and so will your wallet!

Hey sxy R33, I know ya did your homework, and you are right that's about the right price, but at the moment there is no compliance :D so if u import now, the car won't be going on the road any time soon cos the good people in our government are too busy walking around with their thumbs jammed firmly up their as...

where? In melbourne? If so, can you give me some names cos my guy in Melbourne said they he couldn't get any plates for me or get any cars complied there and then brought here. I'd really appreciate dude, cos if he's lying to me, I wanna know + means I can finally get the Supra we've had sitting in da mechanics for the last 3 months finally on the road! :D

cheers

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
