  1. Might not be the most technically brain bending topic, apologies in advance Searching for an r34 GTR. In no rush, but am adamant on a standard low km clean example. Happy to pay the premium for a genuine good example. Engaged an importer to source. Currently have a basically standard r33gtst with the usual stuff making 200rwkw. Can anyone comment of the performance of the standard item? Say in comparison to the gtst with 200rwkw? Spoken to some importers who claim it will be a fair step up performance wise, but I've yet to test drive the standard item. I will be keeping the car in standard form. Cheers
  2. were you beaten as a child? severely? So, your a tuner. BIG DEAL. Plenty of them on here. Your the only one who continually carries on like a skirt. Wake up to yourself champ
  3. If such things bother you to the degree they clearly do, you may want to consider getting yourself a life outside Skylines Australia. Douche.
  4. For the mechanically retarded where could i take my car to have this VCT sorted? Autoelectrician? (Ive got r32 ecu and eboost street in an r33 Gts25t s2) Or is this something thats relatively easy for a mechanic? im in sydney.
  5. Had a issue once. Failing to keep up his end of the bargain Googled his phone number. Found other items he was advertising. Got the girlfriend to call and pretend to be interested. Got an address. Silly boy.
  6. I had the z32 in mine also. Played up constantly and they could never get it right. Gave me the shits Changed to a r32 ecu but now no vct. Ive got an Eboost Street so apparently theres something that can be done there. But in short I cant be bothered finding someone who will know how to do this, as clearly i dont. In my personal experience everything that gets tinkered with, seems to effect something else until the car shits its arse. All good though if your a mechanic and can sort these issues out without paying through the nose....
  7. just as good as factory? all in under 3k?
  8. Took it to unigroip Cars perfectly fine Cats looking to be shot. No biggy Decent turbo time !!
  9. Starting it up. Virtually cold. Took off oil cap. Blipped the throttle a little. Spat some oil out?
  10. yeah test drove one and gave it heaps. Manual fg. Goes great. Sounds good too. I was well impressed, but that feeling faded fast when I got back into the old skyline and realised I still f**king preferred it. Makes parting with the 50k painful. Be nice if those clowns at Nissan released something comparable...
  11. Seems to know his stuff. Booked in for next week.
  12. Falcons a boat, ss is a slug and boring as bat shit
  13. Any recommendations for a reliable competent engine rebuild(er) in Sydney I could contact?
  14. I can only assume. This is the general practice yeah? Ill ask specifics this arvo. There just isnt anything from the factory that has the same appeal. Closest is a turbo falcon. But it honestly feels like your driving a bus in comparison. Plenty of poke though out of the box ill give it that.
  15. Nah its virtually a stock car. Just the standard stuff. Exhaust, FMIC, Nistune etc,
  16. I agree. I will be. Im no mechanic mate, but of all tasks how complicated is a compression test. Remove components, put the gauge in and kick it over. repeat. How many variables for f**k ups can there be. But yeah I'll be doing it anyway
  17. Apparently grabbed another gauge for the second test. I'm getting further tests out of curiosity. Leak down etc. And as previously mentioned. If no good... Say hello fg xr6t. It's s bit of boat... But NEW
