Looking at the photos I first though "wonder why they wrote that one off?".. but then after looking at the rear wheel in the last photo I think I know why... as for that guy's comments.. don't stress.. only 1 wanker out of the lot ain't a bad ratio...

Oh my gord! I think I am gonna cry.

Hope you're alright, that's the main thing.

Now there are only 1,000,001 R33's in WA.

Hope you are covered by insurance etc....Keep your chin up.....go out and get another one, in the meantime there are plenty of skyliners you can hitch a ride with south of the river :D

it's funny how much damage the fence has done to the rear panels. like little scales. looks more like how I'd imagine fibreglass panels to crumple under normal-to-panl compression load like that.

on a slightly off topic note - some nimrod has advertised an R33 in the paper for the last three or so weeks with a "one lady owner comment". go figure. good test of how gullible people really are I guess.

Skippers are the worst sharks in the industry. And thats saying something. Took my GTR in to possibly trade on a Liberty B4. They had a clapped out R32 GTR for sale for $38,000. It was really bad condition the wiring under the bonnet was butchered. When I asked them how much they would give me as a trade they said $19,000. For a much better condition car. Scumbags.

" one lady owner"

The rest were Japanese male drifters...

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
