So I bought my R32 a while ago, and my Mum then decided that as she has done Targa Tasmania with Steve from JustJap many years running and because she liked my car so much, she would also buy a GTR... Told her that the R33 might not have cult following of R32 or R34, but value is heaps better etc etc, so at 50+ my mother goes and buys an R33 GTR V-spec, with about 270awkw.. Therefore faster than my R32.. and looks bloody nice too..

Ok first up,

Your R32 GTR is sitting up ridiculously high, please lower it :cool:

I see you have kept the stock BBS wheels, but I'd change them and get a good offset to fill your guards.

What the hell are those wheels you have on your R33 GTR? :D

They look chrome and are terrible + more low on the R33 would be great.

If I may suggest some wheels such as Rays Engineering Wheels or NISMO LMGT's.

Other then that, it is good to see you have the V-Spec / V-Spec II models as they will be a collectors item any time soon.

Factory Brembo's are aways a bonus on the R32 GTR.

What exhaust is that on the R32 GTR? Is it nice a quiet and still give good exhaust flow?

I have a Veilside Oval shape muffler / cat back, I am yet to put on as it needs a few modifications before it can fit on.

So did you end up taking the GTR's for a drive around Mt. Panorama?

:cheers:

Needs paint first, then it will come down a little bit

Thinking about spacers for the BBS's, same result, keep genuine look

The R33 belongs to my mother, I have told her to get rid of them (came on it) But she reckons she likes them :D

Living in Bathurst, it will probably actually be raised a fraction

R32 will be, R33 there were as many v-specs as non.

I might actually look for something different, it is a little bit dull, computer may help though

We live in Bathurst, so are aware of how much time the boys in blue spend up there, but the shots are from McPhillamy, so did have to do a lap

:mad:

guess you can honestly say to people, "my mum's car would beat yours"!

Which can also be counteracted with the fact it is probably quicker than mine too :laugh:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
