R33 Favour Required, Essendon Area!

[MYSKY1]

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

....or go and see a sheet metal worker and get two steel plates to help cross the gap...that what I did for the GTR cost me $50

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!

I've got a lowered 33 and one of the worst driveways around. You'll be fine.

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.

lol i dont care whose behind me. ill go as slow as i want with as much angle as i have to to get out of a driveway. theres been cases where iv taken up a whole entrance hahaha. cause if the car gets damaged you have to live with it and pay for it to get repaired not the ones behind you. so ye i take my time and get in right lol
