Jamie he said for events... Where u don't want to scratch the good ones u paid good money for...

Stockies ftw

wish I had stockies

[jezza boii]

Haha I meant the opposite Cass! I was gonna have some ridiculous polished dish for events like Autosalon etc.

Wouldn't trust replicas for daily driving.

I'd buy stockies for track, or some kind of 15/16" wheel.

[KamikazeNinja34]

Thought u meant track

dammit I want my car back still waiting for rims to hit customs as well as a few other parts... sigh

[Mohsen]

Dude... Your rims shit all over those..

[blags]

Haha my car is going on track as is

[PENGUYEN]

Waiting for bus

Route 421?

[paulr33]

haha 477 from broadmeadows. We take bus to mackay at 3pm today then to brisbane tomorrow. We should be clear by the time it reaches the coast

[Count Grantleyish]

Ah, enjoying the trip despite being told to flee Hamilton Island?

[Count Grantleyish]

I bought my GTR back in August 2005.

Changed new front disks and brake pads.

Rebuilt Rear Diff.

Rebuilt Turbos to steel internals.

New OEM Clutch put in cuz the HKS Twin Plate just about had it.

Aftermarket Front Pipes and a Highflow Cat put in... Also have a Cat Back oval shape muffler going on.

New OEM Slave Cylinder.

Did more rebuilding rather then modifying.

I can dump money in it for the "Go Fast Mods" but I know 1 thing leads to another as this car cost already, as it is.

It is lightly modded and good enough for my weekend drives

I say you should enjoy what you got there (your R32 GTR) as you know, the power bug has hit you and you will never be satisfied...

First it is 200+ kWs, then you want 300+ kWs and you will be chasing 400+ kWs... It never ends... Leaving a bigger hole in your wallet.

Lower your standard of your expectation for your car and you will enjoy it better.

Remember, you do have decent mods on it... Utilise it and enjoy it...

That's what I think anyway

I'm curious as in why you're binning HKS twin for stock clutch.

I'm guessing you haven't raise the boost level and tune it correct?

[KamikazeNinja34]

'just about had it' grant. Means it was broken.

As to his choice in replacement... *shrug*

Jamie msn kthnxgo

[paulr33]

no not really enjoying it as we have spent the whole time try to book other places and get out. Once we get past mackay then we will be fine and can resume holiday. Not much we can do hey

I know, why stock, wouldn't sane person go something beefier or stock clutch are as good than people make them to be?

When I had 33R, the clutch didn't last, and I upgraded to OS Giken Triple plate.

Correct Cass!

Grant, the car came with a Twin Plate... Who knows how long it has been in there...

Judging by my "whining" rear diff (at the time), the Twin Plate would have seen a lot of 5000+ RPM launches.

It lasted me about 2 years of ownership and started to slip = car won't go anyware = had to rev the hell out of it just to hope it will grab to make the car go.

Pulled the Twin Plate out and there was burnt bits of clutch / ash... Flywheel had wear and tear as well.

Being a 1st time GTR owner at the time, didn't know much about the characteristics of driving with a Twin Plate as there is no play (well not much) it was either IN or OUT of gear and best driven for track use.

At the time it was a daily for me so I need a plate that was good for that...

So I decided to go with a single OEM plate as I know Nissan would have engineered it to put up with a 2.6lt, Inline 6 Twin Turbo.

Meaning it would have to be at least a heavy duty single plate clutch.

Geez, would hate to be on run from mother nature during holidays.

Queensland doesn't have much luck with weather lately...

[alr33x]

r33 gtr vspec side skirts will fit a gtst 33 correct?

[Count Grantleyish]

Good question, maybe with a little bit of work, they may fit.

I'm not 100% though, if it didn't fit, you can always either modify or sell it.
