Its a sad day, yesterday I listed my GTR for sale. (see below link in my signature)

The bad news is, in the short term I wont be looking to replace my street car with a Skyline. I have 2 kids now so I will probably move for a 4 door family car until the kids are out of prams and car seats. An XR6-Turbo is the most likely choice at the moment.

I think out of all the cars I will miss the Black Beauty the most. The R33 GTS-T was my fist Skyline after owning a NRX. The white R33 GTR was a great work horse, but the R34 is such a great car I am already getting sad about moving it on. 8+ years with top rides I cant complain!

I will be keeping the R32 GTS-T TRKBCH, I will still keep some GTR heritage with the 3lt GTR motor, but it wont quite be the R34.

Anyway if anyone knows anyone who wants my car please let them know.

Thanks

:thumbsup::happy::/:D:(:yucky:

Leasing companys wouldn't let you get a Stag as they will be too old - oldest the car can be is 5 years when you go on the lease, than you have to get rid of it by 7 I think..

Oh well.. all good things come to an end eventually.. Maybe start putting some R32 parts onto your XR6 lease :(

oh noes :( so sorry you're selling! I never even got to see you out on the track!!! (Maybe once at oran park, but not sure if it actually was you!)

:cry:

Hey its not sold yet, I still plan to do the L2S OPGP day on the 16th.

man that sucks :wave:

i just hope to high hell that whoever buys it loves it as much as you did...

also, tell them they have to sign up here :(

I hope once it sells it does go to a good home.

Paul, Screw the XR6, get a TYPHOON

All the power and space for the family. May be a bit more of a whale on the track than the GTR, but they can crack 11sec 1/4 with only $5,000 worth of mods.

Sorry to see you selling the beast, it would be good too swap, but I am abouts to have my second kid.

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
