* Grammar fixed - but QFT :thumbsup:

Hahah best.quote.edit.ever!

Stoppped by Japlink today to get my 33 looked at, they mentioned how hard it is to sell those things now though surely you got 15k for yours Zebra? not 1.5k like your post implies..the guys at Edward lees offered me 6k for mine but would prefer it without all the mods..guess i will be returning it to stock if i ever get around to trading up. Anyway Japlink told me that if i am prepared to jump up to the 34 (so want!) then i better be ready for servicing and mod costs that triple or more those of the GT-St....:unsure:

oh well..in for a penny..

Nope 1500 bucks. After many attempts to sell at like 5 or 6 k and not even a look (this was when there were still worth over 10k)

Lol at terry btw

6k is good money for a stockish 33 these days. I wouldn't pay anymore for one

I laff at guys trying to sell gtst skylines for 15k and wonder why no one comes to look at them

It's kinda sad that vn v8 commodores are worth more these days

I love my GTR...it makes me smile just looking at it in the garage :)

If you're going to track it or mod the crap out of it I'd say go for an R33 and save the money for mods.

I haven't modded my GTR and probably never will and I think that's the way I want it now because it is just enjoyable for me to drive it on normal roads. In saying that it does attract a lot of attention...

Yeah was looking last night and I think if I do upgrade it'll be an evo. Could probably get a decent one for 30k.

Or possibley an rx7 02 model could get one of those for around 25-30 too.

Maybe I can build a gtr when there a classic haha.

You won't buy a GT-R based on logic/sense, you will buy it based purely on emotions/desire.

You know you bought the right car when you park it and look back, or walk into your garage and look at it.

This happened to me two weeks after I bought my R32 GT-R. Haven't looked back since. I'll try everything to keep it.

If I sell it, next car will be R34 GT-R.

It's not worth selling a 32 GTR... Just save a touch longer and buy a 34 and have both... Win win...

but a seal + bearing kit for a 13b is under $1000, then you just need 1/4 of a brain to put it together.

will see how i go when i get my rotary. :pirate:

just watch it when their head gaskets go, can get pretty messy apparently...

If your real lucky then you might find a woman that makes you feel the same way too :rofl:

Substitute bought for found and garage for bedroom

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By The Bogan · Posted

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
