GTS-ts are cool ummkay, look at Bradley Sheriff, got put in the naughty corner for going sub 2m09s and then had his lap time removed.

All the Ford/Holden (inserts nice words) would have had a sook big time if they didn't.

I was so close to getting this back on Nov. ticked all the boxes and was the rare metallic green. Second guessed myself thinking I should get a GT-R instead. Instant regrets

  • 2 months later...

thanks lads, good peer support in convincing me to not buy a GTR.

 

just picked up an R32 GTS4 for twice what I paid for the same car 14 years ago.

close to 100k in parts spent/installed/to be installed on a shit box R33 GTS-t :D 

I entertained the idea of leaving the Nissan world last night to my wife, she said  something along the lines of (including the profanity: "no fking way, you're going to sell it and one day bring home another shit box. I prefer if you keep this shit box"

It starts getting truly crazy if you put an $$ hourly rate on the time you've spent working on the car. 

If my shitbox vanished into a blackhole, the saddest part for me would be all the time lost that I had poured into the car.

And add in all the times I shouted mates dinner, drinks, Jap BBQ, bottles of whisky, slabs of beer, etc. then add in my time tuning, wiring, hiring dynos, it becomes seriously stupid.

Hence a stock M3 F80 just makes more sense now. Slap on some R compound and out of the box it will do faster lap times than the shit box could ever do.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
