lol!!! Ive got a R32GTR and am preparing to move my battery from the bonnet to the boot!!! Might be easier for the both of us if we simply swap cars!!!

Just on this, but a little to the side... Ive noticed that when my R32GTR gets a little low on fuel, mabey 1/3 of a tank, the car seems to run a little rough/chuggy on idle when cold, almost stalls, until up to temp. Buggered if i know why? Any guesses, wouldnt be to do with vapour lock/pressure would it? Cheers. Oh i get about 23l/100km as well Beer Baron...

Sorry AZZ, do you know wether you have to remove the rear seats, or can you have them in with the cage? Thanks mate.

Can you please let me know the brand, weight, condition and wether you have any of the foam bar covers? Also do you know if you have to cut any of the dashboard to fit? I can pick up from Sydney... Cheers.

Yes, an electronic boost controller will be more consistant at maintaining your determined boost level. The manual boost controller is effected by atmospheric conditions.

Do you guys notice a large improvement in brake pedal feel with the braided lines? Thats their main purpose isnt it? Cheers.

A dog is a dog, just cause its got a GTR badge on it dont think it cant be a lemon. Engine/Turbo all you can do is check for excesive smoke from exhaust, check to see if timeing belt has been done, and if so the water/oil pump. Driveline/Clutch check to see if clutch is holding up or slipping, change gears quite quick under load to see if syncros are ok. Check brake disks for cracks. One of my AFM's went in the first week. Try and avoid 1989 GTR's if you can, most of the good ones are long gone. A modified R32 costs about the same as a clean stock R33 , decide wehter you want the newer cleaner GTR or the modified faster one. You can often get a FEEL for a cars state of health and condition by driveing it and giving it the once over, other than buying it from a dealer, thats about as good as it gets. GTR's with full service histories are rarer than a Honda Civic without a Mugen Power sticker...

LOL!!! Can only be beaten by the 11,000RPM tacho next to it!!!!

LOL!!! That makes me feel better!!! I get about 22litres/per 100km, around town with the occasional burst. So thats about 300KM on a 70 litre tank. 4.5km/per litre. I didnt buy a 400kw GTR to drive a fuel efficient car, im doing my bit for Saudi Arabia's economy, more crude oil, burn burn burn!!!

Once your going over 180KM/PH who's counting!!LOL!!! Just cause the needle stops doesnt mean the car will. Aftermarket 300KM/PH speedo's are usually quite expensive, and dont get much use.

LOL!!!! Im not that desperate to shed the KG's, the cars still gotta pull chicks in the pit area...

CRD. I doubt theres another workshop in Oz that has more experience with GTR's. They're not the cheapest, but i wouldnt go anywhere else. http://www.croydonautosports.com.au/

Hey Roy, my R32GTR has 18x9.5 inch rims and allready has a R33 GTR Disk/Caliper Brembo upgrade. In your opinion what would i need in order to run those big bad 375mm biatches... Id just be worried wether i could adapt a bracket to push the 4pot Brembos far enough out to house those mother disks... Where are you??? Cheers...

Does anyone know the weight of the stock 16inch R32GTR rims, with/without tyres? Cheers.

I posted this question about a year ago and didnt get a reply, but i still havent found Engrish instructions for my Field Torque Split Controller so i cant splice the last few wires into the attessa loom. Just checking to see if anyone can help me, otherwise ill be heading down to the local Sushi takeaway to ask them to translate the page i need... Cheers.

LOL!!! Thanks for the offer. But the main reason im looking at weight reduction, is the fact it costs me nothing to remove certain weight/items from my GTR. I dont want to start spending to much buying lighter versions of stuff i allready have, im not that committed yet. Cheers for the offer. Thanks Fitzpatrick i found a couple of old threads to read...

Datsun 1200 Coupe with a SR20DET conversion. Big brakes and trick suspension. MX5 with a 13BTurbo...

Yep, ill keep a look out for the next track day you guys are gonna attend. I think i read that there was going to be another Autosalon Battle later this year aswell?? Otherwise ill wait for the next track day... Cheers Matt

Yep...

LOL!! Sounds like mate. The women of Goulburn are still recovering... I wonder if they've earnt a life ban from the Wakefield villas...

Just curious if anyone has had a serious attempt at weight reduction in their car, and wether they have any weights for items removed. People often remove rear seats, spare tyre and jack, but others go to the extreme of aircon, sound deadening and full interior removal aswell. My R32 GTR with 18inch rims and R33 brakes, coupled with the exhaust and IC, would probabley be 1500KG now, as opposed to the stock 1480KG. I figure the spare and jack would be worth 20kg? But not sure on rear seats or passenger seat? Anyone know what a stock seat weighs? Otherwise i might have to go thru it myself and post some weights as i remove some stuff.. Just curious... Cheers Matt

Well that just cost me over an hour of my life to read this entire thread!!LOL!! Sounds like a good day, im in Sydney and up until last year used to compete in Porsche Club of NSW sprints, including Wakefield. Would love to mingle with a few Skyline owners though, and love a bit of amber liquid aswell. Might have to meet up with a few of you blokes next time. Cheers Matthew

If you want the occasional drag, then go the 2530's.

Thanks Topaz, ill have a crack at it this weekend.. Cheers...

I tried a few searches on the site but couldnt get a hit. My front speakers are dead and i would like to try and replace them. Can someone please explain the best way to remove the door trim for me? Thanks a lot. Matt
