hrm...okay dave...

goodluck finding a *performance* car that has not had its arsed flogged...thats what they were built for mate. if you wanted to buy a car that hasnt had its ass flogged, you should start looking at bmw 318's or magna's or something?!?!?

and btw. knowing that this car IS capable of 300kw is bloody great! I know that the engine is running as it should be!

Just to update, the car is still for sale.

It's worth noting that the car made 230kW or less for most of the time that I had it. It only did about 3000km or so with the big turbo set-up. 300kW was actually a conservative tune, if we had really pushed it there was more power to be had. The engine is in excellent condition, as any test will show.

As for the camber question, I believe it was around 1.25 degrees negative.

You are better off with 18x9 at both ends, my set are 8-inch at the front and not the right offset for a GT-R anyway.

Ben,

Any specific reason y gtrs run equal width wheels front and rear?

Somone on the forum mentioned it was due to the need for the wheel diameters of the front and rear wheels to be equal for the attessa system to function properly. (Front and Rear wheels need to be travelling at same speed)

But i would imagine...with careful calculation of tire profiles, equal diameters would still be achievable, while allowing for a wider rear tire (since a gtr is rwd most of the time?)

Yes, you do need equal rolling diameters. I have seen GT-Rs with different-size wheels front to rear, but since the guards are designed to suit same-size at both ends, why not fit them? Unless you make the rear guards much larger, you will be compromising the front, rather than improving the rear, if you see what I mean

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
