  3. Afternoon,

    Looking to buy a brake setup for my R32 GTR and was seeing what people had to sell.

    Please post up what you have, as I'm considering all options at present, be it Brembos, Ap's etc etc.

    Thanks for your time all.

    Cheers,

    Gordo.

  4. Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

    I've been lurking on this forum for a fair while now, and have owned my skyline since 2005. I thought it was about time I did a bit of a write up of what has happened and what is going to be with my vehicle.

    I'm no great scholar when it comes to writing and surely suck at photography, so please forgive me haha.

    Okay so I guess I'll start from the beginning;

    I fell in love with skylines from a young age, but couldn't afford one for obvious reasons. It wasn't until I was in the 3rd year of my apprenticeship and also had some spare cash laying around did I finally decide to search for my first skyline. I had a friend who had brought his skyline from Autoforce in brisbane, so I gave them a call and sorted out a deal pretty much immediately over the phone. I had just purchased a 1996 series 2 R33 GTST.

    The car had a few mods done already to help it along with the sale which included;

    - Cat-back stainless exhaust

    - Volk wheels

    - Tein coilovers (street series)

    551325_10150630985381725_594951724_9248139_699571888_n.jpg

    I decided I would just go ahead and purchase some more parts from autoforce at the time of sale which included the following;

    - Monkey front mount Intercooler

    - Turbosmart V-Port Type 2 plus Adapter BOV

    - Hi-Flow CAT and 3' Dump pipe

    - Blitz Spec R Boost controller

    - Mongoose 3 point Immoblizar

    - Garrett GT35 turbo

    - Apexi Power FC ECU

    - Splitfire coil set

    - Z32 Airflow meter

    - DENSO 550cc injectors

    - Bosch 040 In-tank fuel pump

    - Exedy brass button clutch

    - Stainless exhaust manifold

    I had the car fitted up with the BOV, frontmount, dump/cat and alarm before leaving the store. Then I pretty much hit the road all the way back to Mount Isa QLD. The long drive home was a good chance to get used to the car and enjoy my new toy.

    I had my car for a few months before I took it to the local tuner and got them to install the Blitz boost controller. From what I recall it made 190rwkw ( such a long time ago ). Which kept me entertained on the street for a while before the stock turbo had had enough and decided to exit through the exhaust.

    Considering I had most parts stockpiled already I wasn't too concerned, just had to save some money to get it all fitted up. Well time had passed and I was itching to get my car going again, so I dropped t back to the only tuner in town and let them go about their business installing all the gear. A few weeks went past before I got the call to come pick it up, I was pretty damn excited as you could imagine. The tuner gave me about 270rwkw as he didn't want to push it any furthur due to the stock internals.

    544747_10150630980871725_594951724_9248127_16891165_n.jpg

    It kept me happy for another few weeks before the single plate decided to give up the ghost and fail completely. Straight back to the tuner and purchased a Direct racing twin plate. Learnt all about how agressive a clutch can be with that damn thing. But got used to it over time and really enjoyed it in the end.

    All was going smoothly for a long time until one night whilst cruising around the cheap manifold decided to crack where the wastegate attached. I pulled it off the road again and stripped it all down. Took the manifold to a local welder to get repaired and add a brace to support the gate. I had it all returned and in my haste to put it all together I made a very major mistake, which would show itself on the first test drive. When it was all together I took it for a lap and being the young and stupid person I was decided to give it a foot full of boost. The gate didn't open and I heard a pop, I pulled the car to the side of the road and it sat there roughly idleing with small puffs of smoke coming from the exhaust.

    Once again I pulled the motor down to inspect what I had done wrong and what the damage actually was. In my haste of putting the manifold back together I had switched the wastegate lines around, causing the gate to be held shut. Silly mistake which caused the standard internals to fail.

    4199_79889826724_594951724_1868774_3499998_n.jpg

    I couldn't have my car sit off the road for too long as it was my daily. So I decided to go buy another RB25 and put it all back together. I purchased the import motor and within a few weeks had the motor in the car ready to start.

    544747_10150630980891725_594951724_9248129_2099708027_n.jpg

    I turned the car over and it wouldn't fire, after checking everything over and over again I performed a compression test. I found compression in nearly every cylinder was low, I couldn't believe I had purchased a dud motor. I pulled the motor down and found broken ringlands on most pistons. I was wild as you could imagine, I just couldn't be bothered with it anymore. I gave up with it and let it sit there for many years.

    Now the time has come for me to finish my dream. I have let my car sit there for far too long. Over the past few months I have been purchasing many parts and soon hope to be sending it to Brisbane to get built. So far I have purchased the following;
