So i need to change the fluid for my r33 GTR's active LSD (it's a vspec) and i can't find any diagrams except for the regular r33. Anyone got a diagram on where the fill bolt is? (Found the drain bolt already)

He did!

+1 for the fly there, drive back. I just bought a r33 GTR from brisbane and aside from getting f**ked around by the shop i booked a pre-purchase inspection with (they literally sat around doing nothing until 4pm despite promising me they would do otherwise) it went very smoothly and i drove it back across 3 states. Nothing bad happened except me being very paranoid to leave it alone ANNNND....i took a quick powernap in the emergency lane on the highway....only to find a tow truck pull up ahead of me and try reversing as if they were going to tow (and potentially steal it) so i just redlined it out of there. The drive back is tedious, but there's always nice scenery and you'll feel a lot more comfortable being able to look after your car. Just make sure to get a pre-purchase inspection of course, as there could be things needing fixes that you don't wanna be stuck out in woop woop with ;p

Well, spoke to racepace today and they were very helpful, seems like everything's sorted without having to run around

Hooooly shit if this happened to me, these people would have far more to worry about than the cops Anyway that sucks, i feel for you man, these kind of people are the lowest of scum. Karma will eventually get them.

I booked it in to get done asap as it's drinking fuel and not even using it, it badly needs a tune (that's why i want it done asap). They're pretty booked up so i'm trying to make it as easy as possible for them (thus replacing the o2 sensors beforehand). I was planning on asking for them to install the new clutch but i diden't think they would have one there, thus the overnighting plan from justjap, since they have 1 in stock at sydney.

Hi all, i need to get a new clutch by tues as i'm getting my GTR up on the dyno (my clutch shit itself on the weekend) and i was going to order in a nismo coppermix from justjap on monday and try and get it overnighted down to melb.... But i was wondering if there's any places in the city that would sell one here? I'm also running around trying to find some O2 sensors as i'm pretty sure mine are going (it's either that or the rich tune and i'm trying to deliver it to the tuning place as best as possible to make it easy for them). Anyone know of such a shop that would have either? (repco, autobarn and supercheap don't have the right O2 sensor and i can't find a place with the nismo clutch online) Thanks, any and all help much appreciated!

So i need to fit new tyres ASAP for my R33 GTR and i figure "do it once, do it right". I've been looking at reviews about Pirelli P zeros and it's all quite confusing (there's a huge range within the p zeros AND a bunch of negative reviews, some of which relate to treadwear [which i kinda expect in a high perfomance tyre] and some with bad drivers blaming the tyre for them driving it in a snowstorm), so i was wondering if anyone here has fitted a set to their car before? Are they really the best money can buy? I'm looking to buy something ultra-high performance (money is not an issue) but at the same time i want to get some decent treadwear out of it (I don't expect 10 yrs but i want it to last the summer).

Thanks guys, i'm gonna go with racepace i think. Does anyone know a place that can get plastic wrapped in carbon fibre (with the bath they do in the water to give it a layer) as my plastic around the dash is all scratched up and the only really shitty thing about the interior.

Hi all, i finally bought myself a R33 GTR and got it back down here to melbourne, now i really need to get it on a dyno and tuned properly, where would you guys recommend that's both fairly priced and knows their rb26's? I'm also looking at getting the plastic surrounding the dash wrapped in leather or replaced for carbon fibre (it's a little scratched up and looks out of place compared to the rest of the car which is mint). Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks, appreciate the help!

Hi guys, i might be buying a GTR with WA rego (i'm from vic) and i was wondering what the process is like to get it signed over so i can use it in vic. The car itself is in queensland so can change of ownership papers be lodged online or am i actually going to have to drive it to WA to get it into my name (and then back to vic to register) or how does this work?

Well i have to get someone to check it out since i'm keen on buying this one, so surely there's 1 good one in the whole city just to look over it and make sure it's as advertised? Which one? I was considering godzilla motorsport as they seemed to get 4 star reviews.

Hi guys, i'm flying up to Brisbane next week to check out a r33 gtr and need a good mechanic to check it out for me and make sure everything's as advertised. Anyone able to help recommend someone that really knows their skylines in Brisbane? Thanks so much!

I went for a test drive of a stock one tonight here in vic, pretty impressed from that alone. Makes me kinda excited to check this one out in queensland. He says he's got dyno sheets which i'm yet to take a look at, but i presume with the new turbos and fuel injectors it's going to be putting out a bit more than stock. I spoke to the guy and i'm flying up there next week to check it out, which now means i need to find a good mechanic in Brisbane who knows their RB26's. Anyone able to recommend a mechanic? Also, the car is registered in WA so does anyone know about the process of transferring from WA to VIC rego?

Thanks for the tip, do you have any thoughts on a titanium exhaust? I hear they're good for weight reduction and give nice gains, but would they give a similar effect to mild steel?

Thanks so much for taking the time to write that! Any thoughts on the one i linked above? Highly considering that due to new engine.

Yea, i get what you mean. On another note, what are your guys thoughts on this? http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1996/SSE-AD-3529373/?Cr=4 Seems kinda on the expensive side, but it does have a brand new engine which i really like. Don't honestly know what to make of that though, as it seems quite stock and for 32k there's other ones being offered with extensive mods. Anyone able to give their thoughts on this one?

Is it possible to deepen the sound though, through an exhaust? Not saying it has to be a v8 sound, but i still want to make the sound as deep as possible. Not after the screamer sound though.

The roar i'm referring to is more the kind of deep sounds v8's make, i was just wondering if it's possible to simulate as close to that as possible with a good exhaust. I don't expect to get the exact sound, but i just want the sound to be more deep than high pitched, if you get what i mean?

Had a look at that n1 exhaust, this is what i was looking at previously, what are your thoughts on this? http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/tomei-tomei-expreme-titanium-cat-back-exhaust-system-440008-nissan-skyline-r33-gtr-rb26dett-p-1202.html Is the kakimoto quiet until you put your foot down? I want one that's going to be chill for regular driving but when i put my foot down to roar and roar hard ~~~~~~ Thanks for the tips too birds, i expect to spend double what i pay originally on fixing it up to be mint, but i just don't want something that's going to break down on me in the middle of nowhere or crap itself right after i buy while doing regular driving. I've already read through that megathread about what to check for with buying a car as well, so i guess now i just have to play the waiting game and hope i do stumble across a good example. Another question since i'm actually yet to go for a test drive, do you get a considerable "slam you back in your seat" feeling while it's still stock or is that only after extensive mods? Would be nice to know before i hop in so i kinda know what to expect, the only other car i've driven at this level of HP was a SL55 amg which was really stable to launch and easymode. Thanks!

This might be a bit too late, but if you're looking for some amazing roads (i guess this applies to anyone) and are willing to go outside the city limits... -There's a forest south of warburton with powelltown + the ada tree that cuts through to MT bawbaw. Unbelievable twisties. Vicroads has this signed at 100, it is not safe to go 100 at most points (funny how they claim to care about safety yet leave rural roads like this often with dangerous advisory speeds, yet in the city they will speed trap commuters.). Completely dead at night and paved well. -North of melbourne airport, there's a road that cuts through wildwood (enter at the first roundabout right near the icecream truck, keep going straight and follow the road). Careful as HWY often chills south of here, but they rarely go up further north to where this road is. More great twisties and be careful near the end, there's a turn that is signed for 40, it f**king means 40 on the downhill. Shit's scary. -West of geelong, take 1 of the many side roads through farmland towards lismore (see those salt lakes on google maps, it's near there). Long straights with minimal dips. Good for some real world dyno I know heaps of amazingly fun roads that are less frequently traveled and can be more specific, if people are interested These roads are great for scenery in the daytime and sometimes it's nice to just have a night-time drive without seeing a single other person on the road.

Well i live on my own now, but i do have an old story about one i knew for a month or so (and moved out quickly as possible). It was the worst. I answer the ad for a guy and a girl, i meet with the girl who's lovely and we hit it off, i pay her rent and bond in advance and move in, think the guy's gonna be your typical bloke...boy was i wrong. -Morbidly obese and never showered, which for obvious reasons gets really bad. -Would stay in his room playing video games (which i don't mind, i used to play as much as he would have) but resulted in him never doing any chores. -Would constantly fap to porn and play it loudly so i could hear it in my room. -Would try and hit on me in the creepiest ways despite me having a boyfriend every time he left his den Oh and the girl was never there, she was out every night. I ended up doing the same as her and crashing at my BF's house until i just got my own place. Other than that, all my other housemates were lovely. Just 1 bad apple.

Cool car, but i'm still set on getting a GTR to work on Thanks for the tips, so you woulden't recommend a cold air intake? I'm looking to get it sounding deep and having a roar when i put my foot down, i believe that contributes a huge amount to the psychological feeling of going fast and having fun in a car. Any tips on getting that feeling?

Yes, i plan on someday having a 34 And yea, i am dead set on a R33 GTR. Gonna give them a call today, thanks for the tips guys! As a little sidenote, what mods would you guys recommend doing first to increase that feeling of going fast? I plan on doing a cold air intake and new cat/exhaust, but i'm not really sure where to go from after that. Thanks!
