gtr fan

Babak's car has a JUN oil pump doesn't it? Didn't Andrew put one in it?

Just answered my own question (I read page 2 of posts). I'll enter this event. Will the Gibson motorsprt GTR still be there?

Is there parking for spectators or is it easier to just enter so your garunteed a spot?

HKS do a carbon front undertray if thats any help.

GOT RAINED ON! Whilst my car was parked near sushi train it got shat on by bats, I had to go to the Carlovers at turramurra rinse the crap off and then come back to the meeting point at chatswood chase.

Legends of Speed was on SBS??? I remember seeing most of this movie but missed the last 30-40 min, I was really upset about this s well as I was enjoying (wow this was about 4 years ago). Can legends of speed be purchased anywhere?

I saw initial D yesterday, yeah the story has changed a bit (it sometimes happens when you try to summarise 3 seasons of carton in to a 90 min movie) but it was still a fun movie all round and was also great to see the real scenary, but the anime is still the original. I gotta ask though why weren't japanese actors used for the main parts? What is this Young and Dangerous series?

You say the plenum hasn't lost much paint so thats always a good sign. My honest opinion - the comp ratio would worry me. I realise you are able to trade in your current cars and the appeal of Brembo brakes is always tempting (however this can always be done later, some people say they are over rated, never experienced brembos - another thread.lol) I would be surprised though if a perfectly standard car returned that comp ratio, gut feeling thinks it may not have been so standard with its previous owner. Personal choice I would skip it. End of the day anything is fixable if you really like the rest of the car which sounds pretty good.

If you really like the car and you feel you are getting a good price and have factored in the engine condition go for it. How long have you been looking for a GTR? Can I ask how much this one is (don't reply if question not appropriate) There are lots of really good ones out there its just a matter of finding one. It took me about 3-4 months.

Hi Andrew, That compression is a bit low and your right in the fact well at leasts its the same over all 6, but the reading does tend to indicate that the motor is now old (obviously) but is probably whats the word 'rattlier' / not so tight anymore. A fresh gtr engine comes in at around 180. Mine is an aussie delivered one and when i bought it had 108k on the clock and comp tested in the 160 accross all six. My suggestion try to find a tighter one, sure it may go hard.... for now.

fair enough, sorry just had to ask.

Thanks Amaru, Mine are making noise so I just want to fix it in due course. But yeah need tips on any special procedures to replace etc!

Could I just ask why on earth you wan these, as they are prone to cracking. I still have them on my car and can't wait to replace them soon!

Hi there don't mean to hijack your thread but I was speaking to Ben at BELL a couple of weeks ago and he said that you had your car there. Can I ask what injectors your using now, are they the RC ENGINEERING ones they sell or something else. I am replacing mine in a couple of weeks and will probably be using the RC ones so just wanted to know if you use them? Thanks.

Thanks for the info guys I'll start looking at getting the parts, If anyone has changed them please let me know of any particular procedures.

Hi all, I have searched and can't find a thread regarding wheel bearings. My questions are: After you take the disks off are the bearings then exposed / able to be removed? Are these a sealed unit requiring the whole assembly to be changed I.E cradle and bearing? Rough cost of wheels bearings for r32 GTR? I previously havn't had hands on experience maintaining my car but would like to start doing so and this appears to be next on the list, so all help is much appreciated!

Yep there standard.

Had mine for 2 years and loving it!

I was under the impression that atessa worked on g-forces. The more g's felt by the g sensors, the more it would start to share the power load between the wheels. i.e If your just putting along no torque should be transferred to the front but if you put your foot down car starts accelerating a lot quicker you should notice the front torque increasing even without wheel slip. It is a preventative system in the way it doesn't wait for traction to be lost before it transfers load, its works off g forces. This is what I notice in my car anyway.

I had this criteria for a car 2 years ago, and ended up buying a black australian delivered gtr. There was a silver aus delivered one for sale a little while ago on these forums don't know if it still is though, look in the for sale section I guess.

what happened you just noticed your oil pressure light came on and you turned your engine off straight away? Most of the time peoples engines destroy themselves when the pump goes dont they?

I think the red item is a flare.

Is this from a V-SPEC?

Yeah thats a good result - mine was between 157 - 164 on my engine when i bought the car.

I was under that impression too.
