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.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
