Your's is just a GTS isn't it Dayne??

How's she go as I'm actually interested in how my ride would handle against a GTS.

Yeah she is mate, i get alot of wrx's etc that always bov me though, obviously not realising it isnt a turbo.....

Mine has complete aftermarket suspension, and it handles very well, so if your going to compared to mine it isnt that stock in terms of suspension, and it has 235's on the front and 255's on the back so it grips fairly well.... going around most corners i get hardly and if any at all body roll... hope this helps

Dayne :rofl::D

Spotted:a pearl white GTST R33 with large 5 spoke Vault rims,REALLY dark tint,a "different" bodykit including wheel arch flares,blue undertray neons(sorry,but NOT my thing)and a very misplaced GTR badge on the boot.Seen twice:stationary near Ali Bab's in the city,then swinging a U turn powerslide with excessive use of the rev limiter(ummmmm,dude?SHIFT UP a gear!)at the northern end of Lonsdale Street...I'm still in two minds:on one hand,I love hearing an RB winding up,but I'm leaning more towards the "TWAT: Driving Skool of the Fully Sik" condemnation of said actions and demeaning of a certain badge.Being on the GTST isn't the problem;I like GTST's.Being on anything other than it's intended vehicle is NOT cool...and driving stupidly in front of young,impressionable bogans aint hot,either!

spotted, me going the opposite way to Nik last night at 9 just before the Lanyon shops, with a passenger and im guessing as you were coming of Knoke av. it was Ewan, i could'nt really see properly, whoever it was must have dropped something in Nik's lap and was picking it up with his teeth.

and a red R33 came boosting hard into Lanyon shops just before 9 looked pretty awesome, big chromies, kit and a bit of boogie under the hood also me thinks, but it may have even been one of the pink ones getting around (the light was bad)

skylvia: the blue skyline you referred to is Andrew's (SkyGTRline)

here's a pic of it: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/photopost...&cat=500&page=1

mine is the red R33 next to it, and the guy blatantly walking in front of the camera is also andrew (supaflyskyline)

spotted a hot yellow r34 parked in civic this morning, no wing, and a really cool front bar with vents on the sides, (well it looked like vents anyway) maybe this feature is standard on a 34?? in any case it looks hot......Also a white line on the monaro @noonish, nice body kit.....just came back from 2 weeks in the gold coast hinterland on a work course, only saw about 5 lines, but did see 1 line, 1 rx7 and a ute being closely scrutinised by the cops, the bonnets were up and they were crawling underneath as well. two of them were on the side of the highway, and the other was parked in Ronald Macdonalds car park.

spotted a really nice silver R32 gassing it past everyone in the 100 zn going towards qbn, looked hot, but i was test driving a mercedes so didnt bother waving, and the result of the test? (insert preffered BARF emoticon here) not impressed at all, just crap to drive and in general very dissapointed, looks like its the lancer for me!

one silver stagea (YDJ-xxx... whozat??) following a nice maroon 33gtst pass subway in fyshwick midday-ish. a white 33gtst w/ gold bbs lm's in the domayne carpark and some wannabe drift dick in a black 32 with no bumper, mismatching pannels and NSW rego jump a gutter sideways (and on a blind corner) on lyell st fyshwick *sigh*. i hope nobody here is that stupid. fine he may have banged up his line a bit and i don't care about that, but what if he'd hit some poor old lady or an l-plater or some shit. i don't mind people who have a "liberated" view of the limit of the law when it comes to driving, within reason, but some people are just plain dicks. no wonder we skyline people have a bad name....

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next. 
    • Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons
    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
