hi there everyone.

im interested on buying a gts-t (up to about $15000) and was wondering if those of you who know all would be able to help me.

i wanted to know if on the gts-t's there were any mechanical things that usual fail on the various models that i should look out for or anyother helpful info that you could give me would be greatly appreciated on the gts-t's.

Also. im a victorian p plater and was wondering (and still wondering) what the power to weight ratios are on the stock standard gts-ts. i know that the limit for my kind is 125kw (at the flywheel) per tonne, but dont know the specs of the various models.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

James.

thats a bit of an exaggeration there mate. you dont have to sell it, you pay the $100~ fine and be on your way, and the rule itself is hardly enforced .

The law is going to be enforced really soon by 1st half of next year due to people who "..don't have to sell it, pay the $100 fine and be on your way.."

R32s are fine (i think), the R32 GTS-4 is definitley ok, R33s are not.

Edited by darK

thanks ladies and/ gents. im still in need of finding the weight of the r32 gts-t cos i found some specs but not all. is it likely that they would be under 1.28 tonne? because that would be the absolute min weight they could be before they are a high powered vehicle.

(apparantly they dish out 160 kw at the flywheel)

cheers.

thanks for your help all.

skylines arent ricey mate....they have the go.

rice is the people that want cars like skylines, but drive lancers, mirages etc. lol

i see your point. where i come from rice doesnt necasarily mean "powerless" just a certain style. but your point is a good one... :)

lol yeah i feel ya on that man...not everyone gets the actual definition of rice. most people just think it means asian cars, non falcon/commodores :)

but go out and destroy some rice boxes.....just dont rice up your skyline with shopping lists and fake front mounts and fake slotted rotors etc....and yes, all that stuff is available for sale :)

"rice is the people that want cars like skylines, but drive lancers, mirages etc. lol "

...GOLD!!! sooo trueeee ...fkn hate lancers and civics.. why do people bother?

and btw.. im p plater drive r33 gts25t .. pulled over plenty of times... but yeh no major hasstles all good.. = LEGAL :(

    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 馃槑
