[Roy]

Thats what i was thinking

[Duncan]

good work Russ, I love how you guys are doing this car.

[evil_weevil]

thats just....so wrong its right!!!!

good work Russ!!

No doubt it'll be a beast for sure!!!

[Roy]

Its even got the fancy front bar with the cutouts on the side

[giant]

yes it's a really nice car,

bloody dirty under neath though!! friggin road cars, who'd work on em! lol

i promise you it will be reborn!! this thing is going to be something special, you should see the gear for it!!

didnt get the car finished(stripped) should have it ready to take to work and take the subframes & glass out tuesday,

there some really cool engineering changes from the r32 to this, great to pull it apart and see all the differences.

mind you i have never worked on an unmodified r33 so big differences for me.

and my baby has come back! it came back friday and i spent saturday night cleaning it! lol ( drank bourbon , i have been stressed about getting it back from japan)

speak soon guys

I bet you're glad to have it back at home

[Beer Baron]

nice one mate. glad the black car is back safe and sound

[Blitz]

Gah, those horrid fake R34 GTR wheels!

Will be watching the R34 build closely

[GTRgeoff]

Russ, Paul still has some spots open for tomorrow. Come on out and give it a squirt. I'll be slinging sensational Q-Wang burgers on the barbie.

[giant]

hey geoff ,

i will bethere if the rain stays away! should be great fun

[giant]

yeah, who would put aftermarket wheels on that look like poor copies of the real thing & talk about bloody heavy!!

the front bar is genuine nismo it's got a badge and part number fibre glassed into it! & nismo lights in it.

[Snowman]

No diffusers so non v spec hey. At least you won't have to worry about that issue I was telling you about.

Also - not sure what your diff plans are right now but I ditched my V Spec diffs for a standard non v spec (but tightened) mechanical one and I can't fault it at all. Its definitely better than the V Spec one was.

PS - Bayside Blue R34's FTW

[giant]

yeah mate ! yours looks shit hot in the pics i have seen! great driving mate.

yeah non v spev jobby, what brand diff did you go for?

cheers russ

[Beer Baron]

if it's a non-vspec diff you should be able to buy the clutch pack upgrade from nismo/nissan for the rear. they are quite good with that upgrade. other than that I have no idea how to choose between them really. cusco/tomei/nismo/ATS/kaaz/OS Giken they all make GTR diffs and all have their fans. for this car considering it's all out balls to the wall maybe look at a pair of carbon diffs.

[Snowman]

Russ - basically what Baron said. Standard Nissan diff with upgraded clutch packs. It's brilliant. That was kinda what my point was to tell you if you didn't already have diff plans to just get the one you have upgraded to start with.

[Beer Baron]

plus it's cheap as hell. you can use the $800 you save to buy us all a lap dance in tokyo.

Were the date/s for superlap released yet? April's going to be a busy month

[giant]
