:P @ Sin Thats a cracker.

Anyhow, I drove AMR85's 33 the other day - I felt so dirty, torquey but dirty.

It was sweet as though, and not as whale as I'd expected.

Both cars are an awesome drive :)

I knew you'd like that Leech.

I wouldn't trade the 32 for one, but I'm looking for a 4 door 33 as a "serious, normal - unmodded" car (which I wasn't considering) I was that happy with it.

The 33 blowing flames out the back looked tough as. :burnout:

Instead of taking the bait the way you want me to take it, I'll just remind you that the be all and end all R33 (right? right?) came with a pov spec RB20E option.

Sounds very Pintara'ish doesn't it.......

A good Pintara might be right up your alley Andrew, you can get them with a beige interior from the factory so you wouldn't have to paint it like your 33 :(

I'd love a 31 or pintara, cause i've always wanted a 10second car.....it'll only do 10's down a vertical mineshaft but at least no-one will care when it hits the bottom.....lol.

I love these little fights we all have, at least we know when someone supports a wrx we still stand topgether though!!!

My dad sold his fab 1989 Pintara (RB30) 8 plug 4 cylinder, and got a WRX, so you have to admit, twisted as it is its a great upgrade. But another Line would have been better of course.

I'd like a 31 just as a dirty, nasty I don't care about you drifter though....

Anyhow, we fight because we all just want R34 GTR's :burnout:

Pintara's have a CA20E, they're the 8 plug 4cyl, I think they're a boat anchor of a motor.

Nothing wrong with a WRX, just gotta grandpa shift the gearbox so you don't shatter it ;)

But yes, I do want an R34 GT-R :)

The pintara was a boat anchor.... but got GREAT long distance economy for such a big car (like 800kms plus). I'll get a pic for you later - I'm sure it'll make you drool.

My dad doesn't drive that hard he worries about gearboxes (almost a grandpa). He drove my car a few times and wanted to buy it except that being a 2 door, it was ackward for him to get in and out of (being on the senior side of life). He did however put a 5 inch cannon on the back so it sounds tough.

I'd really like an old school skyline - say late 70's. Anyone know if the current running gear swaps in (RB silvertops).

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
