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.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
