Drive through Springvale windows down, random comes up and says nice ride man...thought he was trying to rob me...it's just been that long since anyone has received a compliment in an R33.

Bet you get an EPA in the mail

It has it in the video name :D

Oh.

I'm on my phone can't see that shit.

Called the engine builder who built the car and engine. He basically said to me I'm an idiot for selling it, and the previous owner was another Idiot to spend so much and sell it to me..

Apparently a "very serious" build with no shortcuts on this one..

Now I don't know if I should sell it

Once you have decided to sell - do it.

I lost too many nights of sleep debating selling/not. Took me a month to post it up... But overall glad I sold it... On to bigger and better things as they say.

That said I miss the car, bad.

After driving a mates GTR @ DECA on Sat, just reaffirmed just how well my car was setup with a no expense spared attitude.

Not saying my mates wasn't done right, his is a daily so it needs to be driveable and not have 1.5 way diffs like mine etc.

Ah :(

This isn't normal for an R33 Gts-t

Most be an ulterior motive

yeh its already up for sale anyway. So i guess I'll just keep it at the price its at and if someone gives me an 'offer i can't refuse' then it'll be goodbyes.

Haha got the same compliment yesterday. Hang in there!!! Only a couple more years until all skylines have rusted away haha

lol... every sinngle compliment I get for my car starts with "I don't normally like 33's BUT............"

Yeah I got told the same, and now it's "I don't like Fords but.."

"I still don't..."

Haha!

10 years ago a R34 GT-t was unheard of and fetched well over 40k!

R32's used to be $15k. Now they $4000

It's hard justifying a respray which costs more than the car :/

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
