while looking for coolers i came across an R33 GTR and the dude that owns it says that he wants an R32 GTR and if would consider a swap, we can work it out. so what does everyone reckon? trade or not trade? i would imagine though that i have to pay a bit extra... but it shouldnt be much.

R33 mods - white, cat back exhaust, mines ecu, profec b boost cont., twin GT2530 turbos, rebuilt engine to std specs, volk 3 piece 18" racing rims. interior and exterior is clean as, except for some dust and cobwebs.

?????????????

yeah thats the prob meggala... i dont really wanna let go of my car coz its got a history and such...and apparently becoming more collectable (sorta)... and...... well im 50/50 at the moment...

thinking........ i guess the biggest drawcard for the 33 is the gt2530's.......

no they arent!! they arent a draw card... u have a pristine R32 GTR!! something that is no longer available for import under the new schemes are they??

thought 32s were no longer allowed in once the SEVS hits town... or is that just GTS/Ts?

regardless... its the original GODZILLA!!!!

lmao sif... u know the 32 GTR is faster stock for stock... so by spending a few grand on the same turbos as the 33 GTR and it will WHOOP ITS ASS!!

:)

PS. ULA if u want me to find out how much it will cost for those turbos to be sent from japan email me as im getting my FMIC sent over next week and he wanted to know if there was anything else i wanted put in at the same time.

PPS. could be some good news on the aftermarket parts front... he has built up a few contacts recently and is going to send me a list of all the parts that he can get his hands on... will keep all posted (its taken a while)

prices sounds good inark. although my current position prevents me from modding the car until about april/may.

as of now im prolly leaning more towards keeping the car as i'll eventually get the turbos that i want anyway. and i know what my cars been through and i know for sure that im gonna have to fork out and extra ~ $4000 - $5000 to do the swap. i reckon i get about the same performance for my car with that amount?!??!

newer car also sounds good though... eh......

when ppl offer to swap their cars i usually say that i will offer my colt for the swap, but my colt is stuck somewhere in the northern suburbs broken down and buggered :D

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
