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:

    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
