White 33 on the news (with sau sticker) - story about illegal street racing in the northern suburbs

^^ Fair enough. Apologies for the poor quality, this is a start though:

White 32 gtr on chapel st, last nite around 12

oh you got more mods than i was thinking... I have only got a cat back and some pods and an EBC @ 12psi and mine made 200awkw but the clutch was slipping at the time.. its got a new clutch now but I haven't run it since. If you want good response turbo's that can still produce pretty serious power I would go twin gt-ss.

That sounds about right... remember that awkw are different to rwkw. If you ran it in rwd mode it would about 230rwkw or so i'd say.

Interesting car journey you have had... got there in the end though. White 32 GTR ftw!!

I have seen how an old M3 can cost 10k for a major service inc GearBox and was wondering how R32 GTR's compare to a normal car when it comes to maintenance/servicing. An R32 GTR will cost more than a 'normal' car to service as you have to do oil every 5,000km and some parts if you buy new can be a bit expensive. But nothing like $10k for a major service. Euro cars are the ones to worry about for that. Should I look to spend 30+ and get one thats had upgraded turbo/s and N1 bits etc or go for a Clean Low KM stocko for under 20k. I think a mid point would be better, but bare in mind that there are some really bad examples around that are ticking time bombs and an engine rebuild is NOT cheap. To turn a stocker into a reliable weapon but not crazy are you talking big $$? Not an easy one to answer as 'weapon' can mean different things to different people. If you were to get a rebuild, forged internals, gt-ss turbo's, ecu, fuel pump, injectors, etc I would say about $15k would make a pretty reliable and very powerful gtr (around the 320awkw mark). How many KM's is high for a GTR? Most have been wound back, so the number in the dial is not a good guide. Asses the car based on wear and tear inside i.e, steering wheel and gear knob, seats etc (if these parts are stock...) and more importantly if you find one you think looks good, get a mechanic to inspect it including a compression test before you buy it! Drivability? Around town etc Well generally they will have lowered suspension, exhaust etc so they are not really a car for around town in my opinion. They have a pretty shocking turning circle and if you are anything like me, there are plenty of places you won't park it. While mine is a 'daily' I don't always have to drive for work and for times I don't want to use it I have small economical cars i can borrow Hope that helps answering those questions. My only other advise is that you may have to be patient to find the right one as there are quite a few out there and the prices range from dirt cheap to quite expensive. In general you get what you pay for... but either way make sure you get it checked! Otherwise you may find out the hard way that a cheap GTR is anything but.

Mounted where? The A-pillar? centre console? stand alone....

Fk, I can't even understand that garbled mess....

1. That is wrong 2. They are reffered to as "Type M" pov pack gtst?? A gts4 has a heavy 4wd system which, with its rb20 engine it is not able to make use of. I would pay more for a gtst than a gts4 any day.

soz i meant cross drilled... oops

Well 32gtr brakes are ventilated and are abs equipped (in most cases) where as r33 gts's are not as far as I know? Also, 32 GTR V-specI/II has brembo's.

What a ridiculous statement... So for you to drive a car as a daily you want it to be inferior...? By your logic a Veyron would be the most dull, mind-numbing experience possible as it is incredibly competent with an ability to accelerate that is almost unmatched in a road car... The philosophy behind the new GTR is the 'anyone, anywhere, anytime supercar'.... I would definitely use it as a daily.

Wow... the carsguide is still as rubbish as I remember. I read less than a 1/4 of the article and felt like i was reading an article by a very old man (who is unaware of things such as the internet and iphones) telling me what is wrong with society these days. What a sad sad man. I think I will go by J Clarkson's review of the new GTR "They have created a new yard stick". Good work Paul, at least in the current economy the chance of you being on the unemployment line is much higher.... sooner the better! Now off to read a nice book with a cup of tea and leave testing performance cars to people who appreciate 'technology'... i would suggest you Google it but that would not work for you... off you go and look it up in your dictionary.

Oh dear.... if anything CJ Motor should take you to the small claims tribunal for defamation. Congrats to your mechanic for the blame shift though... seems to have worked a treat.

I don't really get why someone would bother doing this conversion?? If I was to change an engine in a car I would want to be upgrading... sr20 / rb20 there isnt that much in it... the sr weighs less but thats a LOT of effort to go to for not that much gain.

9.5" wide on the front?? I dont think that will fit at all! As for the two rim choices, both are very nice - my only issue with xd9's is that they look smaller due to their design.. most of the time 18's look like 17's.

Ah kool. Nice work.

^ Nice! What have you done to make your headlights look like that?

There was an update where there were minor mechanical and interior changes. The interior changes are small, like the centre console surround went from smoth finish to rough-style plastic. I don't know the details of the mechanical changes other than the clutch, but that change occured arround 90/91??

^ haha, yeah ill take em for $5... great offer!

Work rims are $2500?? I think you will find a set 18's will set you back close to $2,700. If you are buying 34 GTR rims from japan then yes they will cost more because you are paying for them in Yen. Just find the price in JPY and google will tell you what that is in AUD approximately. Yahoo auctions etc is one place that might sell them. But you could probably find someone selling them here in Aus.

sex appeal? from a car?
