Yep...RB20E, 2 litres, 6 cylinders and a single came producing....wait for it

130PS of raw power ;) Seriously though, being under powered was the only thing I didn't like about my old car. It looked good, handled good, it was reliable, economic and most importantly it was a Skyline and with that comes "the Skyline Smile" :D Really wish I'd kept it, if only to use it at weekends at my local track.

rb20e powa!

I'd have people come and I'd lend them the car and they'd think it was great (power-wise). haha, but it actually wasn't as bad in reality, as it is on paper (relatively speaking). The other odd thing is people would see me in the FD, say nothing, then a week later see me in the r33 and go "wow, nice car" (happened a few times). I guess that's the appeal of the skyline.

I don't miss it - but it was a fantastic car, never missed a beat (and I never looked after it at all).

Still can't get over seeing it in the lot looking so good.

I'm assuming you are cool with paying $500+ for freight on top of the price of the tireless wheels from Japan? If you're not, let me know and I won't bother "giving myself something to do"... :D

It's amazing... you see lots of Skylines on here with bodykits, non-factory colour, big shiny mags, large turbos, blah blah blah... and yet the base model R33 is still a great looking car... probably why I haven't bothered with the Scibyline's exterior (apart from the Enkei's it came with and a pair of East Bear mirrors that are yet to go on)... some cars do get better with age.

330,000 yen, hmmm, kinda cheap, i think the ones we saw at autobacs was around 400,000, i dunno if the tires came with it. but thatll be ur rough figure is about 350,000 to 400,000 plus the shipping, he he he he. as far as used one goes, it comes and go QUICK!

I love the oldskool "bubble economy" era Volk Racing Group C Europe rims Dave... did you keep them?

No, I was a complete and utter fool. All excited about the prospect of owning a bayside blue R34, I let the car go...with those wheels and a set of new tyres (bought about a month beforehand) for the grand total of 30,000 yen. I don't know what I was thinking.:) I really like the CV Europes and there were multi-hole so I'm sure they would have gone on the R34...

Ahh...we live and learn.

I believe LM GT4 are about 330,000yen for a set of 4 without tires IIRC last time I saw them at SA43 with Justin...OUCH!

Sounds a bit excessive. You can get them new, for cheaper and I've seen used examples on Yahoo for even less money, but not by much and not often. Very desireable wheel (I know, I want them! :)) so prices remain high...

edit: Have a look here, under 18's, page 5:

http://www.yatoh.jp/servlet/YCARequest?cat..._id=10&id=u_cat

238,000 for a set with cheap tyres, 329,000 yen for the same wheel with a set of RE050's

Dave I'm sure you can find them cheaper but not by much as you said, that is the Autobacs price I quoted.

I found a set of near new white TE37 with tires about 2 months ago for 100,000yen and was so tempted to buy them.

Honestly though I would never pay 330,000yen or buy really expensive wheels...you'll cry when you scratch them. My OZ Racing ones are 60,000yen/wheel and the first time I scratched them going down a tight street I almost cried ARGH!!!...now there are a few more scratches on them but don't care less as they are now my circuit wheels.

For my next set of wheels I will go for either in this order whichever I find first, cheap and in good condition.

1) OZ Racing Forgiata - silver

2) Buddy Club QF - black

3) SSR Type C or GT2 - champion silver

4) Volks CE28 - bronze

That price sounds good....so they should cost around 2k all up landed in OZ, i wouldnt even bother sending the tyres with all that extra weight...

Now all we need is a set of gt4's in black in 17's for around that price and we got a deal me thinks.....

Hey , I bought this car off a guy in melbourne for a reasonable price and its coming from Japan very soon ... Rezz do you know this person as i see your plates are very similar to his. Looks like he owns a GT-R Too.

iwgp67-img600x450-1092217614cimg0203.jpg

The plates look similar so do I know him??? No offence, but that is one of the wierder questions I've been asked! :)

But, the resolution of that pic isn't so good, so I can't even make out the kanji on the plate so I can't even tell you where in Japan that car is/was registered (and I emphasise "was"). Who knows?

roflmao... no offence dude, but that's something akin to "Oh, I see you're from Brisbane, do you know Billybob?" There's something like 129 million people in japan and there's a fair amount of GTR's... :)

I think it's just an excuse to show off his car because d1-monkeh- felt he met one of the 2 conditions...:confused:

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      By Duncan · Posted

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
