hey mate

nice clean ride and i like the gramlights for somthing different. they suit it.

im a big fan of the garden edging. on one of the bars i used it on i added some brackets to kick the rear out to blen in with the wheels a little.

example

yeha everyone loves the bunnings lip.....so cheap for the results it is great....

i like the bracket idea DJrift....as they do pull in quite a bit......i guess it shows the wheel width of a bit....

plans for the car is to be of a all rounder.....i really really enjoy drifting so that will be the main focus.......70% drift, 29% circuit 1% drag..

ill only go to the drags with a few friends for some fun....i would love to slide it every oppurtunity i get......

little update

ok lowered it a little more in the front.....about 2 cms...not much....but it was just a trial so i know how much adjustment on the coilover gives me how much more low in regards to body moving downward....

here are some quick pics...

big updates coming....

It's running well. Needs injectors and PFC installed and tuned. Is gangsta now. On actuator boost it runs better then the standard turbo on 14psi.

Is fun.

The modified water line is a bit dodgy ATM. Had to cut the original water line and clamp the new flexible line to it. Needs a flare.

Have a look at Nistune...Ap-Engineering RB20 PFC's are pretty rare these days

Alright haven't updated in a little bit.

Sold a few bits and pieces off. Including PFC, AFM and injectors. Needed the money for a overseas trip me and my girl are going on.

On another note. Car is booked for unigroup this coming Friday. For a timing and boost tune.

If your interested in buying my gram lights get at me as I'm currency considering selling them and getting some r33 GTR wheels.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      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.
