This bike has been everywhere and done everything! 8 years of reliable service and has never set a foot wrong. This bike is my keeper. I've owned 10 bikes in the time I've had this thing, but I've always kept her. I'm currently doing some maintenance to the electrical side of things and she'll be back on the road in a few weeks :/ I haven't ridden her since I broke my shoulder Feb 2008. :( Next year I'm planning a forged internal upgrade and some extra work for 135rwhp.

f*k yeah !

love that TL rubs, hats off

andrew - 206kw atm, Im dead set straight in saying its down 24kw at least.

new turbo time, Im searching for a t28 400-450hp which I'll alter with my slide unit (housings) and sell the slide to suit a 200sx - that'd suit the slide turbo best TBH

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • 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.
