Nice ride. I really like the white with the dark window tint, and the rims set it off nicely. What mods have been done to it? Do you know the HP rating for it? Time to go hunting for the unknowledgeable americans with their Stangs and Camaros. Happy hunting:D

yeah maybe you guys should try to race, after all he is not in malaysia, night, please tell me if you raced any american cars yet , i bet they thought it was ridiculus from you to race them in a nissan.

Racer 20
04-30-2001, 04:33 PM
Actually I take that back Nightmare. Your car is probably lighter and will no doubt give a heaver R33 a challenge. ;) OK, maybe not. :p lol jk


200sx: I raced plenty or American cars. My biggest fear is from this guy that lives a few blocks from me. He has a Corvette Grand Sport (C4) with many mods. He says it has over 500bhp and I believe him. :D lol I haven't raced him for a while and a added some more stuff to make it lighter and faster but when I raced him with a near stock R33 (about 360 or so bhp) he stock like the speed of light in Star Wars and I didn't see him until 7:30 in the evening. :D lol But besides him and his GS Vette not many stand a chance. But to tell you the truth other than a few ricifed Civic, Cavilers, Geos (which got there engines and doors blown off ;) ) I haved raced many people on the street. I usually take the GT-R to the tracks and this "home made" track my friends built up in Northern Cali.
:smoka:

Racer 20,

Have you ran a 1/4 yet? I bet it's better suited for road course driving, rather than straight line driving.

Racer 20
05-01-2001, 04:20 PM
I have. I run times right under 13 sec. But thats because I really haven't done anything to reduce the weight of the car, yet. :) I think it was 12.89 or something. :p

SkylineUSA

Nighty....that's the best looking R32 I'd ever seen man. Your car smokes....I love white 32s and your's simply the best... How old is it and how much did you pay Motorex for it? Guess it's not going to stay that way for long huh?:D After all, you've got Racer's R33 to chase:D :D
Hey....tell me when you decide to race with Racer...I would like to join!:D

WOW, thanks for the compliments! It's a 93/94(some confusion). My car is not stock anymore though. I have Twin Airnix filters, Greddy evolution down pipe(no cats), with Evolution II cats back and 18" Blitz Z1 Technospeeds. I have on order: OS Giken triple disk clutch, front mount intercooler, and Greddy pulley set.

Where do you live? Post some pics of your R-33

R33
05-02-2001, 01:56 AM
Hi, I live in the other side of the world - Malaysia to be exact!A hell of a long way to race you and Racer! Mine has a OS Giken double plate - just nice for my 380 whp GTR. Are you sure you want Os's triple plate? Could be a bit hard, no? My GTR has been posted before in this forum, but, what the hell, by popular demand,here it is (again)......

Yesterday, I passed a late-model Ford Mustang coupe with a GT-R badge on the back. All I could do was shake my head in disbelief. I hope someday one of you guys pulls up alongside him and shows him what it really means. Just try to make sure he sees it before you speed away. ;)

SkYLiNeFrEaK
05-02-2001, 08:38 AM
Damn,

You guys are lucky to be RICH enough to afford one of these. I really would love to someday own a Skyline GTR. Would it be hard to learn driving on the right side of the car?

SkylineUSA
05-02-2001, 09:08 AM
I picked up pretty easy. Just have to ajust to shifting with your left. I play video games with my left hand so I actually perfer to drive over there. If I do bring my car back to the states I will be leaving it right hand drive.

SkYLiNeFrEaK
05-02-2001, 11:02 AM
Yeah, i also use my left hand to play video games, so it should not be that much of a problem then. Man i hope one day to have one of these.



R34 GTR all the way.:alien:

05-02-2001, 12:40 PM
Dang Nightmare. Maryland. That's like across the country. lol Oh well. I have no pics but why I get a digital camera I plan on making a music video, yes a music video. It's for a job application. :rolleyes: lol What kind of video or normal digital cameras do you guys recomend? :cool:

BTW, you have a very nice looking home R33. :D

R33
05-02-2001, 10:55 PM
Music video? Can I or my car be in it?:D BTW, Racer, its not my home. It's a friend's. After buying the GTR, I can't afford home like that. :D
Hey, speaking of RHD, it always make me think about the pedal position in a LHD car. The clutch pedal is on the right or left?:confused:

SkylineUSA
05-03-2001, 05:18 AM
Clutch shoud always be on the left. Man, that would be messed up if it was on the right. I don't think I would be able to get a car out of the parking lot if the clutch was on the right:D

05-03-2001, 10:30 PM
Hey...tell me....in a LHD car, do the gauges move anti clockwise? loLLL

shifter is always in the middle :p he meant on the right hand side, R33 have you done anything else to your car?

what is the connection to the strut brace in the pic

05-09-2001, 08:54 PM
all that stuff just looks unafordable,R33 are you getting any of those things?

R33
05-09-2001, 10:49 PM
Adam, I'd become so sick since I bought the GTR I should be committed to a GTR assylum or something.....:D In fact you should as well!:biggrin2:
I am also curious to know about the connection to the strut bar. It looks like a hydraulic stabilizer bar isn't it? Could that be a connection to a hydraulic pump or something?:confused:

200: Nope, I am not doing it yet. Not until I sort out the engine and the bigger turbines. But the engine cover looks really nice. Hope my wife would buy it on my next birthday:frog:

05-10-2001, 08:00 AM
good luck with that, does she suported?

R33
05-11-2001, 01:49 AM
Well,she loves the carvand the atention she gets whenshe drives or is in it. But she hates it when I spend the whole weekend at the track! Now, how can I drop that hint for her to buy that CF cover?:flash:

Racer 20
05-13-2001, 01:42 AM
That seat looks awesome. I think it looks like a good investment but I'm short on cash right know...:D

What (if you don't mind) did this car cost you? Once everything was said and done? How long did it take Motorex to get the car in your hands? Lastly, this car is checked for emissions, correct? If so, how can Maryland test the car if it's not meant to be in the country? I too live in MD, and have been in contact with Motorex. Thanks!

I did that to a 240sx that had GT-R badge in it. I doubt he even knew (and propably still doesn't) what that badge stands for.

Yeah , i want to know what you're smokin too , because under the "Vehicle" in your profile it says "high performance cars and trucks "... What the hell is a high performance truck?:bloated: ... You must be really smart or lucky if you have enough money to make trucks "high performance"... it doesn't make sense at all... Trucks aren't made for performance man , if you have too much money you can give some to hungry kids in africa or any other thing that makes sense...

Damn! Were did they buy it? 'cause unless it was modded when he bought it, thats pretty damn expensive :huh:


And RE MotoRex, if you either buy from them or take a GTR to them for conversion they get it in complience with all US DOT and EPA regulations and make it so you can register it for street use.

I am from Hong Kong. You said $70k is expensive? no way man. If you get that from Nissan with manufarture warranty, you will have to pay around $90k. Maybe the tax in HK is expensive.

Yeah,send some money this way so it will be easier for me to get my R32 or Lancer VII (www.evolutionimports.net) so I can educate some rednecked or ghetto assed Mustang driver but anyways..... I might be able to hop on the Skyline band wagon if all goes according to plan :D I currently have $27,000 saved up for a Skyline R32 GT-R and I make $30 to $60 an hour on contracting jobs.......(plus after collage I moved back in with them to save some money :smoka: )
