Obv, having back surgery a few years back doesnt help either!! Thats pretty irritating most days for me, so hence I have a love hate relationship with the GTR:(

The left knee gives me grief sometimes in traffic jams, but my gtr really is a weekender, i take the tram to school.

Yeh I know they are the best street weapons forn the price for sure!!! Grant, I think I am feeling more like a cruiser these days, must be getting Old:(

Clearly not as competitive as you thought :P

Over time you get used to kicking a bag of sand (which some heavy twin plates are like) :D

Oh well, the os giken is pretty comfy, for what it is.

mines a daily and love it and i was thinking about leaving it for cruises and weekends and getting another car that i can use daily but then my gtr will never get driven because i dont drive on the weekends i drink lol.

You wouldnt know what inconvinience was ------try going through life with an old porsche , like i did for 5 years ,

sure it looks great but always in the workshop , no boot at all , no 3rd n 4th seat ,

also no room for 1 farkin boogie board , no golf clubs either . thumbsup.gif I love my 2nd GTR there is no inconvienience at ALL

I only wish the stock 33 gtr suspension was softer. Any suggestions on soft replacement suspension? I only use the car as a daily.

Oh and having to fill up twice a week because of 3 hrs of driving daily is quite annoying haha

OT, but how did no-one pick up on this???

Apparently kicking a sand bag is not great for my back:(

You need Nismo Coppermix clutch then...

They are the business.

Its about 5x easier than my OS twin to use.

You're back from Singapore. Welcome back!

fuel just disappears though, other than that, i've got no complaints!

It fits azn sized passengers perfectly! and that's all i ferry around anyway.

I used to use mine for everything and mates will vouch it did just about everything. Daily driver, tow a 17ft boat, tow dirt bikes in the bush plus camping, attempted to 4x4 it but it needed a front LSD for grip, it did plenty of track days in Vic and NSW and was quick for for what it was and $ spent.

What more do you need out of a car? Seems practical to me................

All with a OS Giken triple and never had a problem driving it. I think some of you need to man up and stop being princesses! Back problems are a good excuss though. The clutch isn't that heavy boys.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
