Nissan never officially made a 4dr GTR, my understanding is Autech got hold of a few 4dr models and dropped a few GTR bits into them (namely engine and 4WD) and then sold them through Nissan dealerships.

The wikipedia page has a dodgy photo of one but you get the idea http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autech

Anyways, spotted a maroon R33 near Woden Hospital today after midday, think it had a GTR kit on it.

that one at Trojan is a replica very nice job tho. looks good

Pretty insane replica if it is, its got the flared rear gaurds and front gaurds, noting the rear gaurds which i would think would cost a fortune to replicate......

The guys at trojan said the tag says its 1 or 40 ever made....

Very original, although not sure about the gtr badges on the back, had the gtr wheels, rb26, leather bucket seats, flared arches, console gauges etc.

so nice, ultimate sedan!

Yep Zane, new diff and a retune for me. Apparently she's on the dyno as I type :wave: Been a while since I've been able to run it on full boost (not sure why, curious as to the reason). Anyway - can't wait!

Alex: Eep... just go back and ask em to put em back on haha. They probably got distracted when they found the other stuff wrong! Coulda been worse :)

Ben, I'd be very curious to find out what your boost issue is mate as I'm going through a very similar thing (booked into Trojan next Tuesday to hopefully sort it)...

Turns out I didn't really have a boost issue, just that my greddy profec was upset by my turbo spooling up fast and making it think it was overboosting... or something to that effect... John fixed it by fiddling with the gain a bit. Still have the same power I think (yet to really give it a hard go and use the pantsometer :sick: ). I wouldn't be surprised if your issue is something else. Tell ya what though, a new diff feels pretty nice! Feels a bit more like a go-kart

Sounds good Ben, I'll be keeping a close eye on your rear diff experiences with chattering etc.

Yeh, I think my boost issue is different. Even without the boost controller connected (std wastegate pressure) i make about 19psi... So we are changing the Dump pipe next Tuesday and putting it back on the dyno.

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
