What's the reason behind no GTR or Stag' ?

Why not a 4 door 32/33? Spend the difference from the evo on mods, 6k for the car 18k on mods ;)

GTR = 2 door. Wouldn't be selling the old girl if I intend on keeping a 2 door.

Stag = Ugly, hearse like and certainly wouldn't be keeping up too good with you guys on the twisties with all the extra bulk and chassis flex.

You don't wanna know what I've spent on the old girl in maintenance alone so an old 32/33 4door would cost me a fair bit to get up to my standards.

Just looking to stay away from extensively modding a car for now. Would rather buy one that goes hard straight out of the box :yes:

Autech R33 GTR?

That's the one. Have only seen a couple in all my time trawling the auctions. Definitely won't come cheap either if I want a good specimen.

Saw one at Happy Laps 2 months or so ago. He didn't take it on the track but just came to watch. He was expecting some decent dollars for it from memory. Funny part was, when it showed up, Boz was saying how much he hated it when people put GT-R badges on non-GTRs. Especially on 4 doors. I then said, what if it was an Autech 33 GTR?

And it was!!! :D

To be fair though, not many people know about the 4 door 33 GTRS.

Even rarer are the 4-door R34 GTR conversions...of which half of those are 4-door GTT's fitted out with all the GTR goodies. Think I've only seen one genuine 4 door R34 gtr in my life! That thing would cost a fortune.

Ok wake up toowoomba, was up there last night picking up the car... Winter seems to of hot the place harder than Gatton.

#@tommis85 how's the rattle canning of the drift teks coming along?

#@me_larr any updates on the search for the new beast/sale of your dearly beloved?

#@olloSKYLINEollo if your gtrs not up to the task you can roll in The Abomination down to the drag day.... But a convoy with a few skylines would be more fun ;)

Yo yo, yeh mate it's a bit nippy in Toowoomba...sitting here with a couple layers on lol. Definitely not a winter person!

Hoping to make a start on the rattle-canning on the weekend. Need to look at some paint strippers first tho that will strip the drifties back to at least their base coats.

Have decided to go for a gloss black and then give the rest of the 'liner some black trims.

Yeah good thanks, decided on black plastidip for the wheels, just trying to find new gram lights decals. Hard to find legit ones!

Booking the car into efi soon to get the nistune done finally too :) how's things with you?

#@Ants has been doing a lot of this on his GT-R. He would be worth talking to.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
