ive got a question for everyone, i want to get a new car and have been looking at gtr's to replace my r34 gtt, now r34 gtr's are still out of my price range but i can comfortably afford a 33 gtr. now is it worth buying a car that is 3 to 4 years older than mine? because my parents say that im crazy buying a car thats older than mine.

from now on, you say "idears" whenever you referr to that car ok? turns me on. Sam, dude, thats just gay.

lol.

the whole thing reminded me of the time shan was going on about electric spider monkeys (sigged)

but really now, im no homo

OMFG finally finished the car and after 3 weeks its running again yay

things done:

painted intake plenum and rocker cover/coilpack cover from gay gold to crinkle black (managed to scratch 2 bits when putting it in but cant see it so YAY)

changed regular FMIC with hole cut under battery tray to return flow cooler. will be covering hole under battery tray

while most of the top was out and things along the side of the motor, went nuts with degreaser and now she has a oil and dirt free motor :happy:

one thing im happy with is that there is not a single bolt left over WOOT

next time think ill just pay someone to do it for me though lol

any tips on how to shift the rear caliper bolts on a 33? cant get a socket on there cos of suspension arms, and i've snapped my 17mm ringspanner on the bloody thing.

i have a pretty thick ring spanner. wanna give that a go???

dude if you can wait go for a 34. was in the same boat as you but 34 came out on top. better interior and new technology and its a newer car and looks 1 billion times better then the 33.

so yes your crazy. unless you love the 33s and cant wait to get a GTR and find a mint one

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
