Thats a great looking Skyline R32 GTR

Jeeez! That looks real nice! Liking the front bar..

Thanks mate. :P I like it too. Though I think it needs the nismo side skirt extensions to go with it, as from side on you can really see how much lower the front bar is than the stock side skirts. :P

here is what's next. my RX-7. it's a 2001 RZ model which means it is a bit lighter than the regular FD and it comes with carbon kevlar recaros, and BBS wheels and bilsteins plus it's only a 2 seater. I just had the engine rebuilt at pre-stage in japan which is a small but highly regarded rotary tuner. http://www.prestage.rgr.jp/workscar.html should be a fun car.

these pics are just fresh off the docks. not even a wash. :thumbsup:

damn that is a very nice clean looking rz you got.

If you dont mind me asking how much has it cst you so far??

don't really want to say. :dry: I've spent a bit on it. :) had the engine rebuilt etc all costs money. Plus now that I'm moving house I don't have as much car space as I used to so it will probably be for sale sooner or later. It's a pretty nice car though, quite low kms and I have the books for it too. It's surprising how good it looks for car that just came off the docks, it will look nice after a wash.

some info on the RZ for those that are interested. they are apparently the rarest variant of RX7 you can get. :)

The RX-7 Type RZ is a performance-enhanced limited edition version of the RX-7, Mazda's rotary engine-powered sports car. Type RZ is equipped with red custom full-bucket seats manufactured by Recaro, a custom suspension system manufactured by Bilstein, and custom aluminum wheels manufactured by BBS. These and other enhancements reduce the overall weight of the Type RZ by approximately 10kg, improving handling and performance. The Type RZ has a custom body in color snow white pearl mica color. Only 175 units of this limited edition model were sold.

Primary features of Type RZ:

- Red custom carbon/kevlar full-bucket seats manufactured by Recaro

- Custom gun metallic coloured forged aluminum wheels manufactured by BBS

- Custom dampers manufactured by Bilstein

- Custom red stitched steering wheel manufactured by Nardi (different wheel to the other models)

- Custom red stitched leather shift knob, stick shift boot, and parking brake lever boot

- Driver's side kneepads

- Passenger side aluminum footrest board

- Rear storage box

- Custom body color: snow white pearl mica.

yeah mate, I don't muck around! :blink: It's been a bit longer than that though. about 2 weeks on the water, about 3 or 4 days for quarantine and customs clearance.

Straight off the boat into Tassie and met by yet another import.

And then straight down to Symmons Plains.

There in an official capacity so I only managed two laps dropping gear to flaggies etc but still on a race track at full noise on the first day.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
