So I bought my R32 a while ago, and my Mum then decided that as she has done Targa Tasmania with Steve from JustJap many years running and because she liked my car so much, she would also buy a GTR... Told her that the R33 might not have cult following of R32 or R34, but value is heaps better etc etc, so at 50+ my mother goes and buys an R33 GTR V-spec, with about 270awkw.. Therefore faster than my R32.. and looks bloody nice too..

Ok first up,

Your R32 GTR is sitting up ridiculously high, please lower it :cool:

I see you have kept the stock BBS wheels, but I'd change them and get a good offset to fill your guards.

What the hell are those wheels you have on your R33 GTR? :D

They look chrome and are terrible + more low on the R33 would be great.

If I may suggest some wheels such as Rays Engineering Wheels or NISMO LMGT's.

Other then that, it is good to see you have the V-Spec / V-Spec II models as they will be a collectors item any time soon.

Factory Brembo's are aways a bonus on the R32 GTR.

What exhaust is that on the R32 GTR? Is it nice a quiet and still give good exhaust flow?

I have a Veilside Oval shape muffler / cat back, I am yet to put on as it needs a few modifications before it can fit on.

So did you end up taking the GTR's for a drive around Mt. Panorama?

:cheers:

Needs paint first, then it will come down a little bit

Thinking about spacers for the BBS's, same result, keep genuine look

The R33 belongs to my mother, I have told her to get rid of them (came on it) But she reckons she likes them :D

Living in Bathurst, it will probably actually be raised a fraction

R32 will be, R33 there were as many v-specs as non.

I might actually look for something different, it is a little bit dull, computer may help though

We live in Bathurst, so are aware of how much time the boys in blue spend up there, but the shots are from McPhillamy, so did have to do a lap

:mad:

guess you can honestly say to people, "my mum's car would beat yours"!

Which can also be counteracted with the fact it is probably quicker than mine too :laugh:

    • If you get 12v at one of the relay pins with IGN on, and 12v at another for about 3 sec when you turn the key from ACC to start, then yes you can just earth the relay trigger pin. Just have a look at the top of the relay, it should tell you which pin needs earth when the 12v signal is sent (or if it's not clear, just post the pic and we can work it out). If you always have 12v at 2 pins with IGN on, they it is earth triggered by the ECU which makes it harder to fix (you really need to check the ECU pin is earthing when it should, and if so it is a wiring issue from there to the relay.
    • Tomei make a 1.5mm restrictor, I'd just use that.
    • Got the gearbox in and the front drive shafts.
    • Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.
