Hey Justin, I think I used to see that R33 around St Clair a few years ago. Does that sound right? The R33 could potentially turn into a shoot, but unfortunately the white 34 is to similar to a car I've just shot and sent of for print. Happy to organise a private shoot for it though if you want some top pics before it sells though :)

Don't know why everyone is so obsessed with power figures. In the end, it comes down to response as to who will win.

My mate has a supercharged Integra type R....and he beat a 450RWKW Single turbo R33 GTS-T with RB26DETT from a 2nd gear roll.

The r33 only started catching up when my mate was about to change gears at 8500rpm in 4th. Then they backed off as they were running out of road. Rb26detts with single turbos or putting out massive power figures have a very narrow power band.

Hence why S13's lap tsukuba just as fast as most r32/r33/r34 gtr's. Watch the option video of the tsukuba lap battle.

I'm sure boostcruising can answer all your questions & single turbo rb26de"TT"....?

Mat,

No I'm not from the St Clair area, although I have visited friends in the area...also in the Riff...I work in Kemps Creek.

You might be recalling it from Powercruise. You took photos of me kicking V8 butt....but not the supercharged Honda's....but some how didn't see them in the top 5 last year??? "I beat them in my Nissan Patrol" :rofl2:

I would gladly offer my car for this, although I don't believe it would be the best around, and doesn't fit the bill exactly...

It is very clean (like new with 40k Kms), looks the part kind of (really needs to be lowered, but is receiving a vspecii bonnet this week), and also doesn't have 300+kw haha so doesn't really fit the bill at all haha...

Although it is yellow which is very rare....

Let me know if your interested mate, was going to request your skills at some point to shoot my car, once it's more finished, love your work!

Also if your planning on coming to the putty road cruise this weekend, can check out the car then?

Cheers,

Anthony

Have seen this car in the flesh and it is amazing to say the least

^cheers guys, she is currently getting some satin black paint work done atm.... Looking forward to the end result! Will have to post some decent pics when done, if I can ever gain the skill to take one ha

Yeah I would love to see how Ant's yellow paint comes up from behind Matt's camera.

Mate are you going to leave the eyelids on do you reckon? I took mine off, they were good quality ABS plastic though

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
