G'day,

Well i've had my R31 for many years and its time to upgrade. I'm looking at getting an R33 Gts-t (as close to stock as possible) BUT before i go ahead with this i just want to check that the front end won't scrape the ground when entering my driveway.

I'm hoping someone can come check this for me? I live near the essendon train station and will be eternally grateful. I think it will be ok but want to make sure before i lash out 10-12k! I don't wanna park my baby on the street!

Let me know if you can assist me PLEASE. Appreciate any feedback/help.

Cheers!

PS: Sorry, i also posted this on another forum but the Victoria section seems more suitable.

If youre after a stocker, theyre actually fairly high, in my understanding...should clear most driveways. Unfortunately cant help as the GTR is set lower stock anyways, but you should be able to drive it up...even if it seems too low, if u come in on an angle u will be fine.

I'm willing to do it but I live a bit far, and with petrol prices prob better off finding someone nearer but if you cant find anyone else to do it give me a shout

Edit: Maybe take a photo of your drive way? I know it's not the best way but maybe some drivers can tell you what they think

Thanks for the tips.

Kamikaze, I saw a stock one today and you're right, they're pretty high.

And racin8 I can't really do this it's a shared driveway with about 10 other townhouses.

James K i'll take a photo and post it up later and see if i get any feedback.

It's just a steep descent and then levels out.

Anyway, see how i go. Thanks again for your help.

SAU rocks!

My car hates driveways. You should see my lip :rolleyes:

its not the car hating driveways...you just need to learn how to approach a driveway hahahahahahaha

Its not getting in...its getting out nose first on a slope with cars up ur ass behind u unwilling to move so u can back up and try again....driveways here for shopping centres and stuff are harsh man. I LOVE melbourne for how easy all your shops and such are to get in and out of. i struggle with some of them here in ballarat...in my stock N16.

lol i dont care whose behind me. ill go as slow as i want with as much angle as i have to to get out of a driveway. theres been cases where iv taken up a whole entrance hahaha. cause if the car gets damaged you have to live with it and pay for it to get repaired not the ones behind you. so ye i take my time and get in right lol

    • Started sifting thru my brakes to decide which ones I will run on Clem   Made me think I should just put them all on Silver...for when brake fade just isn't an option   Should be able to bump rotor up from 343x32 to 348x36 off Supra. Not sure if the Supra annulus is right for the Alcons or APs but trying g to find a used Supra\M4 rotor to test fit The Alcons seem to gain 1-2mm clearance which all helps  
    • So car is getting a few mods to the cage and some jacking points welded in Meantime Ol Silver gets a new gearbox and shiny clutch.  Old Box is being set aside for Clem  
    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate
