Hey everyone, We all know how bad the Falken 326's have been. I have been lucky or unlucky depending which way you look at it to get 26,000kms from my rears. They are due for replacement and it has been suggested that the 329's are a vast improvement over the superseeded 326's. Has anyone tried these and are they any better? Look forward to hearing your replies. Cheers Chris

Im pretty sure Karman sensors have nothing to do with Nissan Airflow meter equipped cars. My Old SAFC blue screen has the wire for Karman readings but it doesnt get hooked up. Please correct me if im wrong. Cheers Chris

Get it fixed pronto mate otherwise it will be an expensive intercooler install. Good luck Chris

Hey mate did you get my PM? I will give it a clean and take some photos ASAP for you. Chris

I agree both cars are good and if you can afford a GTR and the maitenence associated with it go for it They are well designed cars. My last response is whatever the topic starter decides to buy make sure he gets it throughly checked out so he has a good base to start with. Cheers Chris

See jumping the gun again are we mate? I have driven both 32 GTR and a 34GTT and I can comment just as you are. Doesnt matter if it came with all the fruit that your brothers car did cars straight of the showroom floor can have problems from day one this is what is called a "lemon" K's have nothing to do with it. And Coil pack problems are common in 34's its no secret. Chris

As someone has already said if you love your GTR so much why sell it and move down to a GTST? I apprecitate both Models on there own merrits as do alot of people as at the end of the day they are both called a "skyline" Chris

They didnt go back to 2WD technology for the GTT the GTT is the newer version of the Gtst NOT a GTR which has always been 2WD. No one has ever said they are better than GTR shocks but these springs and shocks are 15+ years old if still factory. a 7+ year old would be in better condition then the later. And when I mean condition im talking bout things being weathered and falling apart from age not just the way the car has been driven. Wrong again the Rb25 didnt come out till the R33 the RB26 was sold along side the RB20 in R32 guise so there for the production life of the motor is longer than the 25. Im not talking about when the were designed as there were probably designed round the same time and the RB25 is just an RB20 with increased capacity and a few little extras etc but the motor is still younger in a production point of view. Chris

Dont get me wrong they a lovely cars and yes I have driven one and know the pleasures of a "Cult" car im just saying a younger model car is going to have less problems then an older model. At the end of the day it depends on what he wants and the pro and cons of both. Really the only way for him to decide is to drive both. I love GTR's as much as any Nissan enthusiast does. Chris

haha yeah thats it.

One is as you said a "group A" car and one is GT tourer so yeah they are worlds apart but my point is at the end of the day the are 15+ years older and most of the ones that havent been rebuilt as of yet arnt going to be far off it and your kidding yourself if you think it was babied in Japan cause the all cop a hiding. They cant be too bad a car if your considering "downgrading" to a gtst or silvia can they? I would consider it a downgrade unless as Col said it was a 33 series 2 or 3. Chris

Your wrong the brakes are the same my friend has a 90's model GTR and I have a 97 Gtst and the only difference is the cross drilled discs everything else is the same. Its the same as the 350z they put the 34 GTR brembos in and it doesnt have the same power output. Also if you love your 32 GTR so much why have that for sale and buy a 34GTT? Cheers Chris

Would be interested in a 33, 34 non turbo 4 door automatic too. Cheers Chris

300's are great cars to squirt around town etc as the have a large capacity engine and small turbos but they do run out of puff up the top. Having said that they are nice looking cars especially the later models 1996 etc but if you buy one I hope you have deep pockets as they can be expensive to fix. Cheers Chris

Hi all, Im just seeing what sort of interest my car attracts as I may or may not sell swap etc. here are the stats Nissan Skyline Gts25t 1997 model type M Full type M kit, skirts rear pods front lip etc Sonic Silver 113,000 log booked k's - Has 100k service done with all new belts tensioners pulleys water pump etc Front and rear Strut braces Apexi turbo timer Apexi SAFC HKS sequential BOV Blitz pod filter Blitz LM front mount intercooler Exedy HD clutch GFB Bleed Valve AMG 17" wheels Falken Ziex 235/45 tyres all round Full exhaust from turbo back with Lukey muffler A-LSD - rare option fitted to R33's Carozerria stereo fitted in Japan with 12 stacker CD player Thats all I can think about for now if anything pops up ill add to the list. Car has only been boosted to 10psi. SAFC needs to be tuned as I havent gotten around to doing it as yet. Have dyno papers of when it was tuned when it first came into the country with the exhaust put on. I am the 3rd owner of this car and the youngest at 26. This car was imported for a mature couple and was sold to a friends parents who in turn sold it to me to upgrade to an R34. I change the oil and filter every 5,000ks with Mobil 1 Gearbox Oil was changed at Clutch replacement Radiator was flushed at 100,000k service Just had a suspension check done and everything seems to be in perfect working order. I have reciepts for absolutely EVERYTHING and have the log book of when everything was done even down to the oil changes. This Car has been well looked after and IF i decide to sell it will be a great car for its future owner. Im looking for around 16-17k or if anyone was interested in a trade im open to offers. Im located in Brisbane any questions PM me or reply here. Cheers Chris

Nope all R33's except GTR use the push type clutch. Chris

Spotted a silver/bluish R32 four door this morning on station avenue Strathpine with what looked like a vertex kit and front mount gave the guy a wave but he didnt wave back Chris

Nah 33's have the round bottoms on them not the horseshoe. Chris

You arnt interested in swaps are you? or just cash? Cheers Chris

There not height adjustable are they? Doesnt appear to be be from the pics. Chris

Where bouts are you I have 1 spare 33 strut lying around at home. Cheers Chris

Obviously looks are decieving then as the scales tip in favor of the R34

Can you post a pic of your struts? The rear ones? Chris
