Yeah my old mans mate from work has the GTR its owned by Jason Dann and apparantly has Motec engine management and a fair few other mods and has been detuned to 500 HP.

Everyday street spec.

After riding in Jim Richards' porsche from Targa this year it should be a good comparison.

Can't wait Lavers

My first experience in a gtr was quite the opposite and sort of anti-climax. I found out later the car was a dud. My next ride in another mates GTR was very exciting for a fairly stock car. I've driven both 996 & 993 twin turbo's, and honestly the GTR "with mods" kills them both, performance wise. Luxury is another story, porsches have a unique handling characteristic to any other car, so does the GTR and you realise the GTR is what it is, not just for it's straightline performance but it's cornering ability and most of all reputaion and $ for $ value.

and the noise they make, is just totally amazing.. take damo's with the twin apexi mufflers, sounds awesome, and they have this sorta gear meshing noise (hard to describe) which makes them sound more like a race car with a dog box, than ya mums shopping trolley

Yeah this is the St. Pats ball. The GTR is a white R33 and the guy who owns it also owns the restuarant Peckish out near Meadow Mews, looks the Goods. Who's this Damien who has a gtr I've ever seen him around before, any pics.

Cheers Lavers.

That GTR is from Burnie, used to belong to the owner of AJL mechanical services. Rumoured to be pushing round 500HP.

yeah but drives it like he is driving a excel....he dosn't push it at all, and it sounds so quiet, for 500HP! a real sleeper GTR:headspin:

The GTR was absolutely awesome. Just the feel of the turbo kicking in a 4000 rpm and pushing u into the seat was amazing. Jason was a top bloke gave it everything a couple of times even did a launch at 6000 rpm. I didn't get to see Pauls line but apparantly you put on a good show at the lights. The guy who sat in the back of your car was absolutely sh1tt1n himself, calling the craziest mutha F***a he has ever met. Apart from that the ball was average and couldn't go to the after ball because of the rain.

Lavers.

    • 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.
