I'm the same. I'm 20, own a GTR. I took out a rather large loan for it, but I'm working hard to pay it off. I catch the train into work each day, and only drive the thing on weekends and maybe some week nights.

It's only racked up 4000k's in 10 or so months, but most of those k's came from when I took it to Kangaroo Island on a holiday! Hahaha GTR on Kangaroo Island = Win.

wow i remember when i use to be in high school it was 11 bucks for a multi trip...

yeh full time secondary students tickets are still about $12-13. I make concession cards at work, anyone want 1? :banana:

ya can always buy the student trips but ya cant anymore on the train cause they have dudes that chekc ur tickets...

yeah they got hell ticket nazi's on the train. i was on the way home from uni, carrying all my uni books, got checked for my ticket. im like here it is with my uni id to prove i go there.. ignoring all the uni shit i was carrying. oh no this id expired a week ago.. umm yeah i just started uni this week, havnt had a chance to get it renewed.. so they write me a ticket to get my id checked to make sure im a student.. :laugh:

i mean ffs.. i cant be bothered going into town to show my id to save 90cents or whatever it was for that trip.

follicaly challenged ehh..........bahhh hair is over rated anyway, ask Madaz, he has some and still goes for the biker look, lol

lol true that Pete

i remember when a bus ticket was actually a little ticket of paper and used to cost 20c and a bus pass was actually a pass and you stuck little tickets on the pass and each day that had a ticket on it meant you rode for free (paid for earlier)

but this isnt the what ever happened to thread that sort of died .... say what ever happened too....

ya can always buy the student trips but ya cant anymore on the train cause they have dudes that chekc ur tickets...

    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.   
    • I'm looking for a direct bolt on turbo upgrade for my 93 R33 GTST.  Anyone have experience with this Greddy T620Z turbo upgrade? I'd like to be able to run about 300hp to the rear wheels without putting too much strain on the turbo. I do daily drive the car.  Pretty stock car with basic bolt ons (exhaust outlet, down pipe, high flow cat and catback exhaust along with intake and FMIC).  I'l probably have a Haltech plug n play on the car before installing the turbo. https://www.greddy.com/products/turbo-upgrade-ecr33-er34-t620z-rb25-11520057   Also, any thought on this much boost on a 30 year old motor with 250,000KMs?  Engine feels/sounds strong for what it's worth.   Thanks you in advance!
