What's the go with that? Never seen that personally.

It has to do with the drum speed and the speed of the car. The dyno plots the graph vs drum speed and then when you print it vs engine speed, apparently you can get a variation in the graph. Kinda like when you see lines move backwards on the dynographs we see here when the operator backs off.

Usually it has to do with automatic torque converters giving feedback when they lockup but considering this is a manual, I would say probably clutch slip , wheel spin, or some sort of RPM interference with the graph.

Dynojet reckon if you plotted the graph on HP vs drum speed, it would be a smooth line

MP1 was the metallic purple on R33 GTR's and limited edition GTSt's. MP2 was the metallic with flake on R34's and MP3 was the chameleon purple/orange colour on R34's.

The midnight purple paint codes are LP not MP lol LP1 is the r32 colour. Lp2 is r33 midnight purple. And lp3 is the crazy r34 charmeleon colour.

If it's getting kicked out of the States, what's the chances it's gonna be allowed here lol.

very good actually. the US rules have nothing to do with australia and it's perfectly legal to import, comply and register R33 GTRs in every state in australia...

It says 505 awhp in the link.

And very laggy too .. full boost over 5000?

What's with the dyno finishing at 7250

The US has had a witch hunt on for skylines for a while because most if not all came thru that shonky west coast outfit. Seemed like a typically disproportionate response. Some stuff, they don't care. Other stuff they make a federal case out of.

pity there's no indicative prices on there, I guess they will end up heading north to Canada. where they hopefully will have some suspension mods lol.

I doubt that car can be imported into Australia given the amount of mods on it, unless someone's willing to convert it back to stock to comply it and then bolt the mods back on.

Realistically speaking there's far better GTRs in Aus and Japan available, especially for the price, as you'll be paying American Wank Factor Tax (similar to Takumi Tax on AE86's) and Australian Import Taxes and Duties.

Also Canoodlians can only import cars that are 15 years or older, which means that GTR might be a bit hit or miss.

      Import insurance in 2025

      By MBS206 · Posted

      My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.

      A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call

      I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛

      Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
