GT-R32

Ordered my copy, can't wait to see some of the insane footage.

Sweet, booked in at SolarTint Fyshwick for next Thursday.

Thanks Chris. I'll get onto it.

Mine needs a re-gas too! I feel like such a noob, starting a thread when there were already two threads for what I needed. Shell, can you please fix.

Can any one recommend someone in Fyshwick for the tint?

I never bought a re-trimmed wheel, just paid a fair bit for a mint stocker.

That's the exact difference. I ended up with two early ones and a late one in a hunt for a mint wheel. I put a later model wheel on my 1989 GTR and the HICAS was unaffected because of my Tomei lock kit (LOL). At first, I was concerned and posted a thread. Then I did it anyway as no one knew the answer and tested it, the car is all good. Although, after suspension work at a workshop the HICAS was out before I locked it, coming on at 80km/h in a straight line is a funny feeling!

Spotted that same car in Kingston the other day! Looks phat.

That IMPUL is bullshit good.

I had that happen to me once, drove the workshop nuts and they gave the car back to me... I tapped the cat with tool and it sounded like it was full of sand. Collapsed cat!

This is looking great. Keep up the good work and keep us updated.

Neat white R32 GTR driven by a chick, going past the Hyatt at about 5.10pm.

Spotted a Bayside Blue R34 GTR V-Spec II driving down Commonwealth Ave bridge at about 5pm today.

Great pic Jarrod. Looks sweet.

Just awesome.

Annoying Andrew. I often wonder if that's what happened to my clutch when it was installed at a certain workshop. They said they had trouble with it, it's now hard to engage gears from neutral as if it's already in gear... Who knows.

Two R32 GTRs (one racing!) at Muscle Car Masters on the weekend... GIO & Winfield versions specifically

Updates mate? How is the shop progressing?

Spotted the new neighbour with a silver R35.

LOL Diesel tunes FTW!

Spotted a very nice black R32 GTST turning right onto Northbourne Ave from Wakefield last night. Very tidy indeed.

Exactly. And unless the engine and turbos are totally unmateched, use the gears! That's what they're for. As long as you have a spread of solid average power from shift points the car is going to be fast if you know how to change gears. My car with -5s makes 300+awkw (dyno depending) from 5 - 7+k RPM. It's making very decent boost from 3k RPM (that's 3rd gear at 60km/h) and over 200awkw from 4k RPM. The car is very quick in 3rd from 80km/h to very illegal speeds. First and second are geared so low the torque multiplier takes hold and it just hauls. I just don't get how that's perceived as unresponsive... It's making far, far more than a stock one makes at peak from 4 - 8000RPM. That's a fair spread of power for now, with scope for a lot more when I do cams, cam gears, more fuel and freer flowing exhaust. It comes down to priorities.

Bought this recently (for missus and I daily), much better on fuel than an R32 GTR:

Shell as HSV have put them on their new cars you just KNOW they are the next tacky rice thing! Haha I don't like them tacked on at the bottom (like on Golf's, R35s, HSVs, etc)... Reminds me of a truck!

I thought that was a myth re BMW F1 engines?
