1993 and same as jap YEN price ? :rofl2:

haha lol, the only reason i ask is because when i was young one of my uncle's had a white r33 and i was trying to pinpoint what year, all i know is that it was in the 90's, im pretty sure it was mid 90's but i was very young i can only just remember it and remember sitting in it.

edit: i think it might have been when they first came out because mum said i was 6 or 7.

yeah R33 was never sold locally

only 100 BNR32's were sold locally and aus spec "delivered" GTR's

first run of ECR33 was

looks like NOV 92 was when they wwere building ECR33 or HR33

yeh thats during the day, im talking 9pm onwards

Scott i hate cricket in general so i dont watch any of it

im the same as you, just pointing out the most boring type of cricket ever, dont know how people like it.

whats interesting about cars going straight for maybe 10 seconds?.. not to mention paying $25 for the "priveledge"

you didnt read my post did you? :P i stated the obvious, i was talking about pro mod classes and higher.. you pay to watch any motorsport and youll only see your segment of the track (1 bend or straight). by your logic, that is boring as well.

my family is heavily involved in drag racing (top fuel), and ill admit that there is no excitement in the street/pro street classes; the excitement is for the drivers. however, the higher classes do offer a form of entertainment to those who enjoy motorsport.

no need to justify what is considered entertainment, as everyones views differ. you could enjoy watching ducks swim in the lake i wont dare ask you what is so interesting about it :P

i did read your post, i just personally dont see the interest in drag racing i find of all motorsport it is just boring and requiring little skill just a big wallet. you can buy big power and a set up for fast times with auto g/boxes a moron can get a quick pass.

im not having a crack at your or anything its just my opinion if you like it thats cool it'd be shit if everyone liked the same thing i just cant justify $25 + sit and watch cars do so little.

again its just my opinion. :P

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
