Give 'gersfan' a PM, he has an absolute stocker and minter (when he'll learn to wash a car properly and not use a t-shirt to dry it), R34 GTT. Pretty sure he'd be glad to show you it. (To compare)

As for advice, I'd leave that one too. The steering wheel really puts me off.

This looks the go except for the crappy driver's seat + has a nice mod list clicky (Also bias being black :D)

RAC check's are good if you are going to purchase a GETZ. Visit a performance workshop who deal with the cars often and get them to check it over and complete some tests to find out what sort of condition the motor is and other aspects of the car, they have years of experience with Japanese cars.

Try Lumley Special Vehicles as well. They were about $400 cheaper than Just Cars and Shannons for my GTR, not sure how they will be for younger drivers though. Had some damage done in a carpark a while back and it was fixed within two weeks, no fuss. :D

Ah, I should also mention that the reason my insurance is that high, is because I own a GTR. No one apart from JustCar and Shannons will touch em'. The price you pay for owning what you want :)

what about the steering wheel? The price of that one is a bit above my price range, also the mileage is very high. The black does look good tho.

Its kinda hard to do that when the owner is away and i'm more or less dealing with the wife.

I just filled in the quote online waiting for them to get back to me. Thanks for that, i've never heard of that company before tho.

I gave xspeed a ring and they don't seem to be free this week apparently they're tuning their cars for targa west. are they any workshops that can go down to the place to check the car? The owner is away and its difficult for me to arrange things with his wife..

the owner told me xspeed charges a very high price for the inspections. He recommended autobahn i think. is that a reliable workshop? thanks for the link. Can i fit the steering wheel on myself or is there a special machine that does it?

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
