Andy: I did shop around, PLENTY when looking for tyres for the SP23 & the R33 (rang approx 15 tyre places). Both times Adelaide Tyrepower were the best price for what I wanted.

I cant explain why they weren't the best price for you, but im still surprised they weren't.

Did they come in s2? I know of a gun metal grey one with chrome rims if its still there

Yeh they came in S2 and gunmetal would be nice also but no.1 preference is a silver (sonic) ;)...but i think you are referring to a s1 which is a no go unfortunately.

I just want to see the kind of prices people are asking for them as i might be getting a house instead of a GTR, but ill need another nice skyline other then my 31...And i wouldn't go to anything else non GTR, but a silver s2 R33...my true love :). Still cant get over my stolen 1 and its been 2 years !!!

as i might be getting a house instead of a GTR, but ill need another nice skyline other then my 31...And i wouldn't go to anything else non GTR,

u can get a house + a GTR

sick of your 31 already? its difficult downgrading from a 34 hey?

Nah not sick of the 31, i was just secretly hunting for a GTR ;) but i think my money is better spent on a house at this stage ! And if i can manage to pick up a 33+house = win > GTR !

GTR can wait...all in good time :)

Lol andy if you were my boss you would have me bidding on yahoo auctions all day

why no s1 kissin lack of air bag? What if its a steal of a price

nothin wrong with s1, just s2 has mega sentimental value. Im in no rush to buy so i would prefer to buy something that would be perfect.

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
