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.

    • 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.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
