Yep there is a few of us here Gary silver R32 GTR myself dark grey R33 GTR and i think Aaron Harliquin R32 GTR is on here as well . Might even be a few GTSt owners as well there is plenty of them getting around so no doubt there would be a few on here.

Hi Farside what car do you drive?

I am picking my new car up today from Transport. Exterior wise the car is standard, Super Silver GTR.

It has a fresh motor, new highflow turbos with steel turbines, 600cc injectors, Apexi Power FC, K&N pod filters and Exhaust. I dont plan on modifying the car anymore than it is.

My name is Jonathan if you see me around town say hello, Im very interested to see your guys cars.

Almost all of the Townsville GTR owners are here. There will be three R32 GTR's including mine in town. I am unsure how many R33 GTR's there are.

The truck delivering my car has been delayed and wont be arriving until 6pm tonight. I cant pick it up until tomorrow morning now. :D

Yes that would be mine on ross river road except it is dark grey pearl not black never owned an s15 used to own a black wrx and a black 300zx tt before that . Pretty sure there are 3 R33 GTR's in town midnight purple owned by some sort of doctor my grey one and another white one which is for sale the owner is sick of it breaking so he is getting rid of it.

HKS 2540 turbos, HKS dump pipes, power fc,AVCR boost controller,Apexi coilovers, HKS cam gears, HKS fuel rail, sard 700cc injectors,boshe 044 fuel pump,HKS intercooler pipeing kit,Nismo twin plate clutch,Nismo fuel reg,all Nismo speedo and 3 center gauges, GReedy electronic exhuast temp and boost gauges and holder, C's quick shifter,HKS super drager exhaust, HKS front pipe , HKS super power flow air filter kit , 80mm afm's,Cusco 3ltr oil catch tank,115mm custom intercooler i think thats about it off the top of my head.Ran 320rwkw on only 1.3 bar and has run 11.44 @122.95 with the boost controller not really setup right so should be able to run a few tenths quicker hopefully.

Services are done by Hammonds Automotive he is a family friend and i trust him so i wont let anyone else in Townsville touch it after a drama with Bob Hawkins . All mods were done by Gavin Woods on the Gold Coast anything major happens it goes to him.

I got the car yesterday morning it drives great. Unbelievable to drive.

I dont think the aircon liked the Townsville weather yesterday. I think I killed something, getting it checked out.

The only things im chasing now is a Replacement mag and a left air vent. They were both outstanding items when I bought the car, price was adjusted accordingly on the purchase price. Already got them put aside at Japparts Sydney. Is there a closer place to go for spares? at decent prices

The cars going great, alot better than the calais. Im used to slowing down for every corner and bump, when this thing just flies through them.

The Air Con compressor died. Theres a bung type thing in the back that just leaks the gas out now whenever we pump it up. I now need to find a R12 compressor for my car. Im going to try a few places today, we removed it yesterday after finding where the leak was.

I wont be driving it this week though. I left the car in the garage at my gf's cause the air flow meter is also cracked, has been repaired in the past. Its on the inlet side and is doing the job, but im going to fix it while im getting the ac up and running again.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
