:P @ Sin Thats a cracker.

Anyhow, I drove AMR85's 33 the other day - I felt so dirty, torquey but dirty.

It was sweet as though, and not as whale as I'd expected.

Both cars are an awesome drive :)

I knew you'd like that Leech.

I wouldn't trade the 32 for one, but I'm looking for a 4 door 33 as a "serious, normal - unmodded" car (which I wasn't considering) I was that happy with it.

The 33 blowing flames out the back looked tough as. :burnout:

Instead of taking the bait the way you want me to take it, I'll just remind you that the be all and end all R33 (right? right?) came with a pov spec RB20E option.

Sounds very Pintara'ish doesn't it.......

A good Pintara might be right up your alley Andrew, you can get them with a beige interior from the factory so you wouldn't have to paint it like your 33 :(

I'd love a 31 or pintara, cause i've always wanted a 10second car.....it'll only do 10's down a vertical mineshaft but at least no-one will care when it hits the bottom.....lol.

I love these little fights we all have, at least we know when someone supports a wrx we still stand topgether though!!!

My dad sold his fab 1989 Pintara (RB30) 8 plug 4 cylinder, and got a WRX, so you have to admit, twisted as it is its a great upgrade. But another Line would have been better of course.

I'd like a 31 just as a dirty, nasty I don't care about you drifter though....

Anyhow, we fight because we all just want R34 GTR's :burnout:

Pintara's have a CA20E, they're the 8 plug 4cyl, I think they're a boat anchor of a motor.

Nothing wrong with a WRX, just gotta grandpa shift the gearbox so you don't shatter it ;)

But yes, I do want an R34 GT-R :)

The pintara was a boat anchor.... but got GREAT long distance economy for such a big car (like 800kms plus). I'll get a pic for you later - I'm sure it'll make you drool.

My dad doesn't drive that hard he worries about gearboxes (almost a grandpa). He drove my car a few times and wanted to buy it except that being a 2 door, it was ackward for him to get in and out of (being on the senior side of life). He did however put a 5 inch cannon on the back so it sounds tough.

I'd really like an old school skyline - say late 70's. Anyone know if the current running gear swaps in (RB silvertops).

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
