Hope I hope you enjoy Perth.

I wouldn't worrie too much about the modifications, just be more cautious of the driving infringments and the hoon laws!

If your interested in a GTR let me know. I have my 1993 R32 GTR VSpec for sale. Its immaculate and unmodified, therefore reliable!

I am really looking to go with an R34 but out of curiosity, if you dont mind me asking, how much is it going for?

Definitely, how often do you guys meet?

I saw imports101 has a Bayside Blue GTR for sale for $54k... One can dream for now. Would much rather get the GTR than the GTT (no offense), I just have always loved the GTR version. I can pay cash for the GTT but would have to finance the GTR, which I am assuming you cant do if Auss is anything like the US. In the US, it is almost impossible to finance anything 7 years old, or older. $54k is a lot to drop on a car cash, if you ask me... but thats just me.

That bayside blue GTR is mint though. Then engine (don't quote me) is around 500hp, but reliable enough to be a daily. Finance is easy to get. Just show a bank some cash, a job, and they'll give you anything. I saved 5 grand when I was 17, and they said I could borrow up to 22. If I could afford a GTR I would as well... But yeah 54k is a whole lot to be spending on a 10 year old car.

Had an R34 GTT, 300ZX, R32 GTR and R34 GTR, none of which were stock. Still yet to be yellowed :) Been pulled over a few times for random breath tests though. Be polite, drive sensibly and treat the officers as people and you'll be fine.

No shit, that is why your 8 year older car goes for 5 grand more then mine still! I want a GTR, but I am happy with east bear kit ;)

I have to agree. The east bear kit does look great on the car but does seem a little costly. Do you have that on your car? How much did it cost with painting and install (if you dont mind my asking)? either way it is still a hell of a lot cheaper than R34 GTR. I love the look and power of GTR (who doesn't) but I would gladly just take the look on a modified GTT.

Thanks. How did owning the R34 GTT vs GTR feel? What did you do to the GTT?

No I will be getting the bomex kit on my car, in the near future. Should be fitting it this weekend, then all I have to do is paint and refit. I bought the kit for $500 (very cheap, but decent quality) from a private seller. There is a place called 'TheSpoilerShop' here that fits and paints kits. They quoted me around $3000 for a full kit bought painted and fitted. Or around $1600 to just paint and fit. Expensive, I would rather do it myself.

you shouldn't be able too because they dont meet adr's, well most. i think there was one brand a few years ago advertising that their's did.

Happy to be proven wrong.

Yeah, they change the crumple zone of the car, pretty sure they don't meet Australian standards, but keen to see if it you can get one.

Two completely different cars. GTT had ECU, boost controller and supporting mods running 14PSI and around 260RWHP. The R32 and R34 GTR felt quite different from each other as well.

As far as loans go, you won't be able to get a secured car loan for a car that old. Your only options would be to take out an unsecured personal loan or redraw on your mortgage if you have one.

BLITS has ADR approval on FIBREGLASS bonnets, i know its not CF but it might be the best you can run on a street car

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      Living With An R33 Gtst

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
