Spotted a black 33 gts with white starcorps which had a GTR badge, seriously why do people do this, just makes you look like a dumbarse!! Was parked on Gorge Road, dudes were going fishing... They were in awe of a real GTR going past lol

I saw a white R34 GTR on anzac hwy around lunch time doing a u turn back towards the city. And it didnt have a GTR badge on the front. Must be trying to be a non GTR

Spotted me in melbourne picking up 18" nismo lm gt4 rims ... (.. Now just to drive back ... Ugh...)

the retarded cheap ones some bloke had on an s14?

never mind, theyre in qld.

wow fair long to get rims must of been fair worth it

Ahhh back now.

I had the seller drop them off at a Melbourne friend's house; I'd already transferred the money to their account, so they could pay for them - leaving me to either ship them over or drive across and pick them up.

I figured it's been a while since I gave my lil' N14 SSS a decent drive, and the rims probably wouldn't fit in the R34 without removing all the stereo, etc - and hell the N14 is pretty ecnomical on fuel (I averaged 7.3L/100km there and back). I think I got a pretty decent deal. There's still rubber on them - albeit, the fronts are probably not legal from inside camber wear (the rest of the tyre probably has 25%) & the rears still have maybe 30% left.

Just put the rim next to the car and took a picture. Ahhh... damn the light bronze color suits KR4 silver :)

For me, I've been hanging out looking for the right set of these rims for at least 12-18 months. My preferences in order have always been LMGT4, TE7, R34 GTR (and R34 GTR is awesome, but just seems too common these days - sorry Tobias ..). What I preceived as the right set of rims for me came up when I had the funds, and they're now mine :)

.. It's really making me think that I might try and sorta 'nismo s-tune' my R34. I have plenty of other nismo s-tune parts, and now the nismo rims. The bodykit doesn't really interest me - but the other stuff, sure... mmmm ..

Editted: Added link to picture for Dohmar

Spotted a black 35R with NCT on the plates in the harbour town car park this morning around 10.. Nice, to say the least..

Seen that car also, but was in our workshop a while back. Only coz the plates rang a bell

Spotted in Melbourne thismoning while I was picking up the chaser for the othe half- silver r35 gtr pull up next to me at the lights, and purr off the line--thought the new ride was sweet till he had to pull up next to me!!

    • 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!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • 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!
    • 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.
