1995 Silver Manual Coupe R33 GTST Series 2 Pushing 220 RWKW nice 18's on her and most importantly RWC. I think he might need to change that airbox for RWC. We'll see. He's an SAU member as well, saw this thread and contacted me. Not worried about the slight front bar damage for now, guy just had it resprayed before it got done in car park or some such.

Haha my knowledge is also not awesome but my understanding is that it's called a front strut brace and it is put there to stop flexing andprovide rigidity between the two suspension strut towers. This improves handling, reduces tire wear and reduces metal fatigue.

Basically the handling feels more precise and responsive.

Funny it's the fanciest looking thing on the car isn't it haha. Some people actually install them just for the tuner look.

right, thanks that makes sense and knowledge has increased +1!

that's awesome because I like the look of it (i love metallic blue) and also it actually serves a purpose! will look at getting one ahahhahah

a civic........HAHA.

shopping for a 34 though.

Yeah I noticed some of your posts, I was looking for an R34 but it wasn't worth the price difference IMO. I'll get an R34 when I can afford a GTR

I hope it doesnt have airbags after seeing the cooler piping :whistling:

Ok ok you got my attention, obviously as a series 2 you know it has dual airbags. Spill it, what do you know. WHAT DO YOU KNOW~!!!! lol

Cut hole in the battery tray is defective and being a model with airbags it can't be engineered I'm pretty sure. Uv bought it with rwc so just be careful not to get done :ninja: . Good luck, car looks alright though.

Wellll I haven't fully bought it yet. Have paid $500 deposit and signed a contract to buy it with a RWC. how can I get done for anything if it has RWC? or will RWC address this issue? Can't you get a flange to reinforce the hole and that makes it legal? If It has a RWC do you think I get to get it mechanically inspected pre purchase style?

It's tuned to 15PSI but no wideband should I get a wideband ASAP?

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
