Yeah its the same TRD LSD, but he never drove the car with it until just a few weeks ago,

You can hear it and feel it around low speed tight corners,
and the new tranny engages much more direct so it feels pretty good, but the car is still limited to 4000rpm's until he gets all his break in miles,

any meets or anything coming up......any of you meet on a weekley basis?

let me know ,

Paul

NICE HOW MUCH DID YOU SPEND?

I have seen several R33 for sale here in the states: for ex:


1996 Nissan Skyline R33 GTR Ultra Rare 50 State Legal - $30000

This is the one you've been waiting for! Be the envy of friends, co-workers and family. This car was brought in to the USA in 2000 and has been carefully maintained since. This awesome machine spits out 275hp to all 4 wheels for a great drive.

Other specs:

5 speed manual transmission
17" wheels
cosmetically sound
35,000 miles

Warning: The steering wheel is on the righthand side. It takes a little getting used to and is well worth it.

Please e-mail any inquiries. Thanks.

as far as break in period.......really the more miles the better , but its going in after 1500 mi.

and 30k is a fair price for that car b/c it's not Legal.

You can find skyines for sale all over the net that say they are legal cars but its all a hoax, many times they are not even in the states yet
it that car was legal tack on about another 25-35K.

I think since Paul bought his R32, the US has outlawed the importing of cars into the US. I read an article a few months (maybe a year or so) about the MotoRex guys getting busted and shop shut down. Can anyone verify this?

The website is still up and running and there is a car for sale in the Inventory, but that doesn't guarantee much. Outside that I haven't heard anything.
