My friend is actually well known for his GTR's/Skylines, he is a member here, but doesn't post anymore as he keeps getting harrassed for advise on cars lol.

I do talk to him quite abit, but he is busy and sometimes doesn't have time to talk and given who he is, he has hundreds of people asking him the same or similar questions, so i don't want to annoy him too much.

Its more a discussion thread more than anything, just want to see what your guys thoughts are.

is he a friend or an acquaintance (someone you know enough to say hello to)? if he is a friend then he won't care about you asking him questions, and he should be more than happy to go looking at cars with you.

as people have said, you really need to do some research. are you planning on using the car on a daily basis? if so then you may want to rethink your choice unless you are going to look very closely before buying a car. an ordinary example of a GTR is going to cost you a whole lot of money in the long run.

Facebook friend really....haven't met him yet IRL although he knows a few of my friends.

I been researching vigorously for the past week or so now on R33 GTR's, looking at common problems, maintenance, modding etc. Still undecided if i want to go with one or go with this R34 GTT i been looking at. I am torn :\.

Yes it will be my daily, mainly driving on the freeway too and from work.

Facebook friend? It's a bit like someone asking me for a phone diagnosis as to whether a headache is due to stress, bad relationship, bad neck or allergy to MSG.

R33 GTR is a great car! Ask a good Melbourne workshop listed here in the Victoria subforum to inspect any reasonable prospect for you. Better to go through $150 a time & get a goodie than to buy the wrong one and waste $2000!

Lol so all these supposed friends with gtr's turned into one that was a fb friend.

This thread brings the lolz :).

I don't want to mention his name.

Lets just say he converted a R34 NA skyline into a 700hp R34 GTR :whistling: . Guess you know who he is now....aw well lol.

Bahahaha NO!

He fully converted it into a R34 GTR. Spent around $120,000 in the process or some crazy figure like that.

sounds like good economic sense

sounds like some keyboard warrior to me, LOL

oh and FYI, he didn't fully convert it into a GTR. that is impossible. i bet that on the build plate it says that it is a NA still. and if he turned a NA into GTR and spent that much money on it, all it proves is that he's as dumb as a post.

on topic though, by the sounds of it you should go for the GT-t. it will be better suited to both what you want to use it for, and your knowledge of cars.

Jessica Alba is my fb friend and my other fb friends, Brad Pitt and Miranda Kerr have met her too. So basically I have slept with Jessica Alba and my friend, that just spent $8,000,000 'fully' converting his Hyundai into a Ferrari F40, was the one who hooked us up.

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
