Or it you have the money, if I could afford the 10-15K I would go for it, like my car for example, I've spent a stupid amount of money that will never be got back, why, because I can, love watching the race cars bashing through the gears, I would still be as slow as a old mole but it would be 10 x cool.

If you can afford it do it but always remember that a 5k job will cost 10k.

On a side note cosmetic body kits are like moisturising cream for men, ghey.

Wow a lot of whinging and bitching going on here, I was looking at the Nismo Kit for my GTR, I only really wanted it because the standard GTR box i have is now out of its comfort zone for the power levels it will be pushing and the Getrags are a lot stronger. I'm not afraid to spend money on my ride because at the end of the day i don't give a flying f**k what people think cause my cars make me happy.

If old mate wants to start off with a GTS and wants to but a 6 speed in it, then i say good on him, he's trying to have a go, not everyone knows everything to begin with when they maybe new to the scene, but thats all part of the learning curve. I had some pretty crazy ideas when i bought my first skyline, and by the sounds of it some people are acting like they are paying for it out there own pocket (f**king tight fisted dream boats). Fark i just spent $1100 on a titanium strut brace and no one argued with me, i bought it because i like to different and stand out of the crowd and know one in Oz probably has one.

Its the same old shit fight on this forum someone puts forward and idea they might be thinking about doing and they get shot down in flames, i know i've been there with my project cars forums but at the end of the day, i think my rides are unique and special and anyone who has a problem with it can fark right off and go eat a dick.

Alls i can say to Nathyns r33 gts is keep up with the research and i'm sure you will find the answer and then you can make up your mind on which route your gonna go with. If your not to worried about the coin then i would say the R34 Getrag is your best bet (well thats i would personally go with) and welcome to the scene don't let these pricks give you shit and good luck and happy modifyingthumbsup.gif.

Apologies to all including Phil for being a dick this morning. I made this thread go downhill even more so than it was.. Sometimes i just keep going for the sake of it, nobody needed it. Apologies especially to the op for the extra page of shit you now need to sort through. I wont do that shit again.

    • 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... 😅
    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
    • Also, there's always room for 4 or 5 3/8" drive wobble extensions of various lengths so you can operate the ratchet from a better location.
