Yeh ill be moving on soon aswell,

Such a hard predicament owning a 33 GTST.. :wassup:

Dont really wanna go back and get a 32GTR, But dont really want a 33GTR because the looks/interior etc are pretty much the same, dont have the money for a 34gtr and 34gtt has same performance anyway.

Kinda makes a late model 6sp RZ supra look nice

But then, ide still choose a late model 33gtr over that

ahhh!

mite wait for the next godzilla or evo9, then u get it brand new ;)

I was actually just kidding about "wanting" a skyline or Sil ute...I've never understood utes honestly, I mean if you need one to carry stuff in ok...but station wagons would do the same job anyway...and half the utes these days the owners would have a coronary if you put a toolbox in the back and scratched the paint.

Can someone who gets excited about utes explain it to me? Isn't it just a crutch to reinforce the outward image of heterosexuality for those who are confused deep-down inside? :D

I used to have a commodore ute, so I'll explain exactly what the appeal is. Basically, the large majority of the weight is in the front half, and pretty much any ute should be RWD, hence losing the rear end is as easy as putting the foot down, and a slight turn of the wheel :D Also, having 10 people sitting in the tray while you do donuts is cool, well, ppl always used to enjoy it in the back of mine :D

well a station wagon might be able to carry just as much as a ute in mass but not in weight why do you think utes use leaf springs so they can carry more weightand also its the ease of being able to grab anything when you want to.

But i also think there are alot of people who dont use there utes for carrying shit which is fine cause maybe they just like the look, i actually use mine for tool boxes and loads of shit.

That last comment is just stupid did you ever think that people just like the look of utes and also might just need them for work, just cause you dont like them there are alot of people out there that do

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
