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.

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
