G'day,

Well i've had my R31 for many years and its time to upgrade. I'm looking at getting an R33 Gts-t (as close to stock as possible) BUT before i go ahead with this i just want to check that the front end won't scrape the ground when entering my driveway.

I'm hoping someone can come check this for me? I live near the essendon train station and will be eternally grateful. I think it will be ok but want to make sure before i lash out 10-12k! I don't wanna park my baby on the street!

Let me know if you can assist me PLEASE. Appreciate any feedback/help.

Cheers!

PS: Sorry, i also posted this on another forum but the Victoria section seems more suitable.

If youre after a stocker, theyre actually fairly high, in my understanding...should clear most driveways. Unfortunately cant help as the GTR is set lower stock anyways, but you should be able to drive it up...even if it seems too low, if u come in on an angle u will be fine.

I'm willing to do it but I live a bit far, and with petrol prices prob better off finding someone nearer but if you cant find anyone else to do it give me a shout

Edit: Maybe take a photo of your drive way? I know it's not the best way but maybe some drivers can tell you what they think

Thanks for the tips.

Kamikaze, I saw a stock one today and you're right, they're pretty high.

And racin8 I can't really do this it's a shared driveway with about 10 other townhouses.

James K i'll take a photo and post it up later and see if i get any feedback.

It's just a steep descent and then levels out.

Anyway, see how i go. Thanks again for your help.

SAU rocks!

Its not getting in...its getting out nose first on a slope with cars up ur ass behind u unwilling to move so u can back up and try again....driveways here for shopping centres and stuff are harsh man. I LOVE melbourne for how easy all your shops and such are to get in and out of. i struggle with some of them here in ballarat...in my stock N16.

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      AC not coming from top vents

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
