doxx - dont worry im sure most of us are thinking the same thing, its just i am waiting for finances to permit :)

and i was thinking, for brake upgrade, would it be good to get a set of gtr calipers, and possibly some 180sx, or s13 silvia, high performance brakes(like almost custom, not stock... but order em as s13 parts )

what you think??? saves the bloody change to 5 stud, which personally i cant be bothered, coz then would need new wheels..

i know i want some, but that way i dont NEED them...

Get ya hands on a copy of HPI vol 5.... (the movie i mean)

The one with the big WRX vx EVO on the front cover...

This new video shows an "NA R32" and an "NA R31 GTS-R"

Both machine are only 10 seconds behind the brand new Mines R34 GTR and the GTR was rated as being too fast..... Check it out...

Sorry my mistake its not HPI vol 5..

Here the cover... Its an awsome import video...

The tuner in-line 6 shootout is a must see event...

"Its a tribute to the production of the 6 cylinder performance cars of our times... As you all know they are going out of production this year...

This is very upsetting to a die hard nissan fat such as myself...

just thought that i'd share with all u n/a boys n gals who are planning on putting an exhaust on. go with 2 & 1/4" piping and a straight thru muffler. yes, it does sound small but believe me, i have put a 2.5" exhaust on and the f*cker drones, partly due to the straight thru muffler, but i also notice a drop in bottom end performance.

all up i've wasted over 500bux with the exhaust and i'm not happy with it. lesson learnt there, save up the money and use it to get a turbo!

haha, thats rite, u got the big ass exhaust on the na car as well. does ur one only drone around 2000-3000 rpm wen u drive at a constant speed? eg. going 60k's in 4th gear, or 100k's in 5th gear, but if i held 4th gear and went at 100k's in 4th then its not too bad.

i'm actually planning on putting the stock muffler back on! yup, after all that money and heart ache, i'm planning on doing that. only problem is that it won't fit straight on so i think they mite have to redo some of the piping at the back which will cost more money! money which i don't have atm :)

hey boxhead, no more drone noise for me!!!! i am so relieved, it was pissing me off badly, i didn't even want to drive the car. i took it back to this exhaust place, and they changed the resonator for me, coz the boss that did it the first time was just a temp from another store and he does mostly tuning and stuff for cars so he didnt know what he was doing.

now i've got on a oval shaped one, and it sounds pretty good, only drones a bit but its very bearable :)

i'm very happy with the current system now.

btw, daalder exhaust in boxhill did it for me. very pleased with their work & service. all the other places wanted me to remove my current exhaust and they'll make another one for me.

haha turtle i've had my 2 1/2" zorst with big bore on since i got the car and it is hella droning but i grew used to it straight away considering that i am partially deaf from playing music next to speakers etc

chopobo dont worry the n/a will make u happy u'll love it even if it isnt a turbo. r33 is heavier than r32 dunno how much though

untuned and way off timing my car did 96rwkw i reckon maybe 100 now after a tune? i didnt bother re dynoing it coz eh didnt care lol dunno about r32 n/a though, i wonder if funkeh monkeh dynod his car?

things u can do

cold air intake

pod

extractors

spark plugs

and all the expensive internal work :)

when i get my gtst half cut im not gonna sell my n/a engine i'll keep it and build it up slowly when i have the money, things like 9:1 pistons, new cams, 3ltr bottom end etc

yeah, i kinda got use to the drone as well, which makes my current exhaust sound so peaceful, but to others may think that its still sound loud :)

it use to pop as well, doesnt do it as much anymore since i changed it. gotta admit i did like that sound.

i was scared that the cops would pull me over and wack me with a fine! doxximus u haven't had any trouble with the cops from the noise?

good luck with the turbo conversion, where will u b getting it done? i've been thinking about doing that as well, but i've decided to sell and buy a turbo.

damn, ur lucky u doing all the stuff at ur house, else labour would cost heaps.

chopobo, the power at the flywheel for r33 gts is around 142 or 147kw. weighs around 1300kgs. the only things i would do to an na would be the things that doxximus listed. filter, exhaust etc. other work such as doing the cams etc wouldn't be worth it, u would have to spend some money for little gains.

      George's R33 GTST build

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
