Thanks guys...

gotta start looking into selling the MPS now, had a look at some stageas at Northshore prestige yesterday.

They didnt have anything i liked in the showroom but they are great cars inside. Lots of space and comfort....

Any major advantages of the RWD vs AWD? I cant imagine it having any major traction problems in a RWD car. I'd be looking at the 3.5L version since that way i can get a later year model, and from what im told they are a bit nicer for driving around town.

Wouldnt be doing any power mods on this car, just for looks, some sort of forged 19" wheel and suspension and thats it really.

Well, AWD vs RWD is pretty self explanatory. No, your not going to have any traction problems in a normal environment- RWD has traction control anyway. The AWD models don't. Neither model has stability control.

However, when I had old tyres on my car, and had a very wet slippery corner I knew that all I had to do was plant the foot and point in the right direction. The car sorted out the rest. Thats the advantage of the AWD system.

There is nothing unsafe about the rwd, it has traction control to keep you in check. I guess its down to your preference. With some decent tyres on your 19's you'll have heaps of grip. Just expect it to occasionally step out in the worst conditions.

Oh, and the Attesa system drives the awd car in rwd most of the time anyway. Its only when it senses slip it steps in to move torque forwards.

    • Kaizo Industries put a VIN plate over where the Nissan plate would go. It was part of how they broke the law and attracted feds going after them.
    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
