  1. My old GTR I could get 400km to the tank when stock, about 300-350km with full exhaust and panel filter and about 120km to the tank at a track day
  2. Spotted Mud on Gympie Rd this morning!
  3. SOLD!
  4. 4 x 4000 series DBA rotors approx $800 Pads Front and rear $400ish Braided lines were $80 per corner Cusco stopper $120ish I did this a while ago so not sure on exact prices, but that will be close. There is no labour included there as I did it all myself. I have to give the Hawke pads a big thumbs up though, they are a bit dusty, and squeal if not used hard for a while but by far they best pad I have used so far. The made the biggest difference. I would do the pads 1st, change fluid as these made the biggest difference, then probably the braided lines, the others were more cosmetic I think, couldn't really pick a difference with them.
  5. I have slotted 4000 series DBA rotors, Hawke pads, braided brake lines, brake master cylinder stopper and Motul dot 5.1 fluid on my 33 GTST. I have so far yet to run into any fade during the 5 Lap Sprint sessions at Queensland Raceway. Had the Same combination on my old 33 GTR also with the same results.
  6. Emailed again. Are they getting through?
  7. I am heading down that way Sunday to pickup my new diff
  8. Yeah, should fit no problems once you get rid of the intake pipe going back over the engine.
  9. What size are the wheel nuts? I will take them if they fit a 17mm socket.
  10. It won't be falling thru
  11. Would you consider freighting them????
  12. I think the big thing to remember with GTRs is that actual general running costs are not that much more. I just found that if anything did go wrong or any modifications cost ALOT more as GTRs are that much harder to work on, labour costs go through the roof compared with GTSTs or more of your own time is spent doing these things. Three little examples I had with my GTR:- 1) blew a turbo exhaust gasket. Removing those turbos cost alot of time just to replace the cheap gaskets, may aswell replace turbs or at least change the dump pipes while going to all that effort. . . . . . 2) Air leak developed on the rear throttle body, again massive labour time to remove the plenum just to replace some cheap gaskets. . . . . . 3) Modified the sump with the TRUST sump extension and baffles to help avoid those nasty oil surge stories we here about when enjoying the GTR at the track, engine out job. . . . . mega hours. . . . . Whereas on my GTST had a cracked exhaust manifold and some broke studs, a few hours job done. . . . The sump on the GTST had a nasty dent, again, sump replacement, a few hours and its done. . . . That for me is the difference between the costs of owning the 2. And for me, since I like doing the track days often the GTR became a little too much in the running and maintenance costs so hence to return to the GTST.
  13. Who is this SLIP guy anyway?? Might wanna try Neil, he has Johnnies old RB25DE, it might have some of the bits you are looking for. . . . .
  14. Just been through the same thing dude, I lost $35k. 33 GTR price has just fallen through the floor. Good luck with the sale.
