the car looks kinda ruff. i am thinking you picked it up for around 28k ?

Then your dreaming.

The only R33 GTR you will be picking up for anything like $28K will be in VERY bad shape. Hell you'd probably get a free weld along the centre of the car for that price :)

On a side note - service the car immediately, and replace timing belt and idler/tensioner bearings or at the very least pull the timing cover off and inspect them. Also take it for a drive, head up a steepish hill at 80 or 100km/h, and nail it in 4th....

second that about the timing belt!!! i bought a 32 gtst about 9 months ago, and 4 days later the timing belt broke.... not happy jan.... and its a bitch to get that head of too...

You'll have to forgive my lack of photographic skills and shaking hands.

She's pulling to the right abit perhaps wheel alignment needed not under  

brakes and not too badly.

The brakes are dam squeky, bit comical at the lights.

I didn't get up it too much esp since the dealer had put

standard unleaded in it (she'll get a good dose of optimax soon.

Being a GTST driver most noticeable things were later but harder boost,

longer legs, better grip, cornering is much different I actually clipped the  

left wheel taking the first 90 degree corner. Wont be doing that again.  

Probably cos i was nervous driver.  

The panel damage is minor on drivers side should be easily fixed.  

Effortless acceleration. Tendency for speedo to get up there very quick on even

low boost.

Time for TLC, clean, nice oil, filter recharge, and eventually panel beating.

definately not factory color, are the brakes brembo, hard to tell in the pics.

wheels are also wrong offset by the looks in the pics.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
