Nice choice Bobby.

Whilst your car is nice, I think the black one the better car.

Best of luck!

Get some pics up when you get the rims on it too. It will look sensational.

Thanks mate,

I think this black one is just a much better all round sports car, where as my auto was more a cruising car.

Yes I know they're the same car with the same engine, but the transmission and the brakes just do it for me.

Will definitely get some pics up once the wheels are on. I'm actually thinking of going for some TE37's now, but will wait till i get these first and see how they look.

Well, all i can say is WOW.

I sold my 05 auto on Tuesday, flew up to Sunshine coast Wed morning, picked up the 04 manual and drove back to Sydney, arrived this morning.

The, "wow" part is on how different the manuals are to the auto's. I can't believe how much quicker they feel. This of course could be just my perception but man are they great to drive.

The car seems to be in fine condition, and didn't skip a beat doing 1100k's in less than a day. The most surprising part was how much it just wants to pull and pull. In sixth gear doing 120, you can tap the accelerator and the thing throws you back and hits 160 in a blink.

Features wise, the car has full Nismo shocks/springs, Fujitsubo exhaust (i think including the Y pipe)Front lip, one of earth grounding wire kit thingys, sunroof and all the other premium goodies except for the Nav. It also has the auto fold down side mirrors when reversing which will help keep that damn gutter rash away.

It also seems to have an upgraded clutch but this is just cause I don't think the stocker would be so harsh/grippy.

All in all I am one very rapt owner of my new, slightly older 6MT V35, and really can't get over the fact at how different a car it is to the auto.

I clocked my auto a 1:21 around Wakefield so can't wait till it cools down to do a few laps in this one. I should do quite a bit better, with the better suspension, wheels, Brembo's and the manual tranny. In the auto's defence, I took it very very easy as didn't want to overheat the gearbox.

Bed time now. :-)

glad you're enjoying your new ride. the manual is quite different from the auto. as for the clutch, i may be wrong but i think that's standard. takes a while to get used to but a couple of days drive in traffic will help you get used to it.

looks like a really nice car. has anyone gone over 185 kph on this thing? just wondering because the speedo seems a bit limited to 180-190 although the car certainly feels like it will go beyond that easily.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
