Hello everyone, 

Just bought a 94 GTST today. R33's have been my dream car since I was 11-12 years old. Just drove it 10 hours from Richmond VA to Macon GA after picking it up at Japanese Classics.

Nice ride mate. Congratulations on the purchase I’m sure she will give many years of joy. What mods does it have and what are your plans?

Thanks! 117,xxxkm's on her.

I know it has a stupidly aggressive clutch (hope I can fix this easily, I've stalled it 30+ times today) by OS Giken, Cusco diff, HKS Dragger muffler, HKS intake. Not sure yet what else has been done. Haven't had a ton of time to look over it. Been driving it all day haha.

How did she behave on the big drive?

Looks really nice and relatively low milage.

Touchy clutches were a bit of a trend with these, you'll get used to it.

And, welcome!

She did fine, not a single issue. I thought I was going to have a panic attack the entire trip though haha. Never experienced a clutch this touchy. There were a couple times I had to say screw this and dump it at the light. It's amazing having one here in the states though. We counted 15 different people taking videos of it and people kept asking about it at lights.

That's awesome, congrats!

Driving on the right is way easier than I expected. That's what I was most worried about. Turns out it was the easiest thing to adjust to, once I get used to the clutch or figure out how to adjust it I'll be much more relaxed. Right now every stop light is a mini panic attack lol. It kinda just feels like who ever had it probably just dumped it at every light and spent the whole day sideways.

Funny you say that, I'm always worried about if I ever need to sit on the left. Will my hand know how to find the gears?! Haha

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
