My friend is actually well known for his GTR's/Skylines, he is a member here, but doesn't post anymore as he keeps getting harrassed for advise on cars lol.

I do talk to him quite abit, but he is busy and sometimes doesn't have time to talk and given who he is, he has hundreds of people asking him the same or similar questions, so i don't want to annoy him too much.

Its more a discussion thread more than anything, just want to see what your guys thoughts are.

is he a friend or an acquaintance (someone you know enough to say hello to)? if he is a friend then he won't care about you asking him questions, and he should be more than happy to go looking at cars with you.

as people have said, you really need to do some research. are you planning on using the car on a daily basis? if so then you may want to rethink your choice unless you are going to look very closely before buying a car. an ordinary example of a GTR is going to cost you a whole lot of money in the long run.

Facebook friend really....haven't met him yet IRL although he knows a few of my friends.

I been researching vigorously for the past week or so now on R33 GTR's, looking at common problems, maintenance, modding etc. Still undecided if i want to go with one or go with this R34 GTT i been looking at. I am torn :\.

Yes it will be my daily, mainly driving on the freeway too and from work.

Facebook friend? It's a bit like someone asking me for a phone diagnosis as to whether a headache is due to stress, bad relationship, bad neck or allergy to MSG.

R33 GTR is a great car! Ask a good Melbourne workshop listed here in the Victoria subforum to inspect any reasonable prospect for you. Better to go through $150 a time & get a goodie than to buy the wrong one and waste $2000!

Lol so all these supposed friends with gtr's turned into one that was a fb friend.

This thread brings the lolz :).

I don't want to mention his name.

Lets just say he converted a R34 NA skyline into a 700hp R34 GTR :whistling: . Guess you know who he is now....aw well lol.

Bahahaha NO!

He fully converted it into a R34 GTR. Spent around $120,000 in the process or some crazy figure like that.

sounds like good economic sense

sounds like some keyboard warrior to me, LOL

oh and FYI, he didn't fully convert it into a GTR. that is impossible. i bet that on the build plate it says that it is a NA still. and if he turned a NA into GTR and spent that much money on it, all it proves is that he's as dumb as a post.

on topic though, by the sounds of it you should go for the GT-t. it will be better suited to both what you want to use it for, and your knowledge of cars.

Jessica Alba is my fb friend and my other fb friends, Brad Pitt and Miranda Kerr have met her too. So basically I have slept with Jessica Alba and my friend, that just spent $8,000,000 'fully' converting his Hyundai into a Ferrari F40, was the one who hooked us up.

    • Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.
    • After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?
    • Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.
    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
