Hi all,

I finally managed to get my dream.

Bought it off the first owner in Oz, he had it for 2 years. It has 101,000 KM's on it, has had its 100,000km service, timing belt done etc.

Unmodified except pod's and turbo timer.

Wheels are next on the agenda!! After the bank account recovers though. LOL

Took these pic's with my mobile, will take some better ones with a camera and post them.

Congratulations Eric, as it looks in great nick.

Slept in it yet? :) More foot room in the rear than the other GT-Rs!

God_speed has one with about the same no. of Kms > about to sell his soon > 100kKm service done too.

Thanks Terry, good to see a fellow Foz owner too! :rofl2:

No, haven't slept in it yet but was pretty close to on the night I got it. Hahaha!!

Looks good mate enjoy your ride! I've loved mine ever since I've owned it. take it on some nice twisty roads you'll appreciate it even more. Cheers.

Thanks Nathan.

Yeah, I have only had it for a couple of days and love it already. Already took it on a decent run, feels very different through the corners, smooth. My Foz isn't too bad at cornering either! :)

congrats on the purchase man, very nice and very clean looking r33. Imo, go the TE's in bronze :D . Btw, you might wanna fix your profile coz you wrote R34 GT-R in the cars owned section after (dream). Unless you mean you now own a R33 as well as a R34 which in that case just makes me incredibly jealous lol

Maybe it's better to pay more and get TE37 !! :(

someone posting pictures they know nothing about.

If you saw what the EVO did in the before that - you'd hardly be surprised the rim ended out like that.

Several users here have run them FINE on the circuit for quite some time now without any issue at all.

Thanks all.

Really love this car now....I'm hooked! Hahaha.

motor is making a slight tapping noise, but from what I read on these forums the RB26DETT has a slight tapping noise. Freaked me out at first, then read the info on here and it calmed me down.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
