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.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
