It was a white R33 & it was in at a panel beaters.

Yeh mate, that would be mine. Was neat as, had a little dingle and will be back very soon. keep getting stuffed round by import wreckers and freight companies but all the parts have now arrived so wont be long. Few of the guys saw you going round, said your car was pretty nice. Unfortunately i missed it. What mods u got? any pics?

Not to many mods, 3.5" turbo back exhaust, K&N panel filter, Daul stage B/C, GFB Hybrid B/O valve & Front mount I/C. Gets along pretty well though.

Hopefully there's a pic attached if I've done it right.

Cant say I've ever attached a pic! haha. got any on a website?

SIKMR2 isnt an import, just the aus release. So its non turbo, but i spose it goes ok, nothing special though. But yeh, done up to be a show car, full veilside kit, full leather retrim, 18's, pretty decent stez. If u want a closer look at SNIPER just go into speedy Tires and ask for Jimmy, he's a top bloke and I'm sure he wouldnt mind having a look at yours.

Let us know next time you come to launy.

zsky, there are at least two 4 door R33's I have seen, one I wanted to buy in launnie a couple of months back, black with a bodykit and one down here which is dark grey, but it's a GTS4 manual and looks sweet. Sorry I didn't buy your car buddy, really wanted a manual.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
