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.

I didnt even realise they existed? :/

Work is flat out busy atm, can't cook as fast as people are buying... And people are saying their pie is to hot....

THAT'S BECAUSE IT JUST CAME OUT OF A 270* OVEN YA TOOTHLESS HICK! :rant:

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.

Yer I'm well man, got the car back last night with the new stall and FMVB. Let us know how you get on with the plastidip the stuff seems to be popping up everywhere.

I thought efi stopped doing tuning and stuff?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
