Hey,

You don't happen to live in Bayside do you?

If so, I know where you live (not in a stalkish way!) and I pass your house sometimes on the way to work.

My god it's the best GT-R I've seen in a while... It takes me an extra 5 minutes to get to work!

change the $ to GBP (pounds) and you're about on the money - they were low-mid $2000 - which i think is about equivalent to what Mines want for their uprights

:blink: yeah I have optimistic memory. but yeah you're right over $2K even with half decent exchange rate. but they are complex pieces for for real deal dry carbon it's on the money. the quality is top level.

that's a BEAUTIFUL GTR ..!

I want one :rofl2:

Stupid P regulations

Is it really the P plate restrictions? Or more the fact that you can't cough up $60k+ at the age of 20 for a car like that? :P

Much to my disgust, i have seen P Plates driving (and owning) $60k+ cars. However I'm yet to see one in a $100k car which is what a Nur-Spec is more likely to set you back :)

Long gone are the days of the $1000 Corona Station Wagon as a first car.

I'm not jealous >_>

BTW, hot car. And by hot I mean "Megan Fox and Scarlett Johansen in a girl on girl scene with Jessica Beil watching on and touching herself" hot.

That is a very awesome gtr mate!!!

awesome find!!

its sad to hear the guy who brought your GTT nailed it in front of you man! :spank:

i think the LMs make alot of 34 gtrs, so i dont agree with a earlier post about the wheels not matching.

great work mate

thanks for the comments :) -

it's been interesting to see the reaction the car gets out on the road, and when parked, etc. people will take pictures and walk across the street/road to have a good look.

The best reaction though is from little kids, i'm amazed that some single digit aged kids know what it is - some just see some low thing, with black wheels and a big spoiler and go 'wohh....' :D

well, i spent a lot of money on the GTT to be able to handle a spirited drive, whilst i wasn't really like that on the road, i certainly had fun at the track. The new owner has just switched to E85 and enjoying it of course :) His tuner has checked it out and of course, Trent's tunes are on the money :) i know the engine will be able to handle the new owner, time will tell if everything else will hold up, especially if it's being drifted

meggala!!!!!! blast from the m..f.. past!!!! how are you!?

you had some nice cars, you had a SR20DET R32 as well didn't ya? you were one of the original importers from memory, way back in the day, one of the few good sources of info! :thumbsup:

yeah, the GTT acquisition was a while ago, i do miss it :( lots of fond memories of that car....

Midori definitely seem to know their stuff, their R34 time attack car definitely mixed it (and at times beat) the big boys, and there's definitely some cool things going on (especially the suspension work) Unfortunately the driver skill level isn't quite up to the cars ability, hopefully one day :happy:

i thought someone had signed up with a very similar username, didn't think it would have been the original! welcome back!

thanks for the kind words though, much appreciated :)

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
