  1. Sorry for comin so late, been away. I can only vouch for my experience with Apexi AX53B60's. I've had em on my GTR for about 4 yrs, but only done about 12,000k's. I do remember they cost me a s**t load, I think about 7G's back then. I reckon they're great, they aren't as quick responding as alot of you are hearing, but may have a fair bit to do with cam timing also. I've found them pretty awesome for street and track work, but a little lacking in response in a big heavy car for drifting( compared with the previous N1's). I get full boost by about 4800rpms, and it pulls hard to 9,000, but I pull the pin at 8. They're rated to 1.7bar, and I run mine at 1.3bar for around 300RWKW and 11.1 secs. I will be pushing them harder once I've run in my new forged bottom end. A good mate also has them on an RB26, but in a GTS-t, and with bigger HKS272 cams, it's seen 365RWKW's on the same dyno @ 1.6bar. On another note, they apparently have a "teflon" insert on the inlet side to limit wear on the compressor wheel, allowing a longer service life. I hope so! The full kit is very comprehensive, with all braided oil and water fittings, 'cause they're based on IHI components, so be careful if buying second hand. Also don't forget to port the exhaust manifolds! I reckon they're perfect for a street/circuit/strip all-rounder. Cheers!
  2. Saw a very stealth 32 4-door smorning. Wine red, 16" Jap alloys, little low, tint, sunroof, baby seat in d back. Dirty great big Super Drager hangin out back, and what looks like a HKS 'cooler kit up front behind a stock front bar. Around Taragindi. Anyone from here? Nice car! Didn't get plate.
  3. You tool. Your car didn't get a roady there, I heard it had a mechanical inspection there at your request! Don't dis people who don't deserve it.
  4. Yeh, still stock box. Had a little tickle inside for shift quality and speed, but this is about the level you can get to still using std g/box internals. If it was an R33 box, it'd be broken by now. This car has done about 30 1/4 runs, no issues. I'll trade just about anything, but I am looking at putting some money back in my pocket.
  5. This isn't the car Street Machines sold recently. That did go to a young guy in northern NSW. Alot of people confused these cars, but put them beside each other and they look quite different. This one's alot faster too.
  6. For Sale: Tough R32 GTR My R32 GTR is now up for sale. A few of you may have seen this car around, and it's time for a new lucky owner. This car's been recently featured in SPEED magazine, the issue with the 34GTR,Sti, and Evo7 on the cover, and if you're genuinely interested, it may be worth obtaining a copy. This car is definately one of the best around, Very straight, Very quick, Very clean. It drives superbly, and was built as a genuine streeter, not a trailer queen. It's only been run down the quarter twice, but that was enough to win last years Drag Combat 0-11.99sec bracket (with [email protected]) with ease, because it runs consistent and hard ALL day. I built it more as a tough street/ circuit car, so it handles and stops really well, and I used all NEW parts in the build, and rebuilt just about Everything, so she's like new. Some features, APEXi AX series turbos APEXi power FC, with hand controller APEXi AVCR (in FC) Forged pistons, with HPC coated skirts Balanced bottom end Linished and modified snout crank Shot peened rods N1 oil pump N1 water pump Oil gallery restrictor Oil pan windage trays and gates Tidied cylinder head ports HKS 1.2mm metal head gasket New valves, springs, retainers HKS alloy cam gears N1 harmonic balancer Chrome moly flywheel 720cc Sard injectors Malpassi pressure regulator APEXi fuel pump 110mm thick ARC 'lightweight series' intercooler Custom cooler pipework Twin Type 2 BOVs Earl's oil cooler and remote filter Koyo dimple core alloy race radiator Custom K&N intakes Z32 air flow meters Custom clutch by Steve at Direct C's shifter Nolathane adjustable suspension bushings Bilstein coil over shocks BBS LM alloys APEXi carbon strut brace Custom twin 3" into mandrel 4" exhaust Carbon fibre vented bonnet Custom blue paint Alpine Ai net stereo and 12 stacker Done GENUINE 45,000klms, with 3,000klms on new engine. Nearly ready for the big tune! Old engine made 315KW at rear wheels on 1.4 bar, and ran 11.1sec, new combo built for 1.8 bar, though I'm still running in, should make 360-370KW? After 5 years of ownership, and building this car from a gunmetal grey stocker, it's time to go to another good home. It should be mentioned that everything on this car is very professional, not the usual rubbish standard of modification that I see around the place. If you'd like any more info and are genuinely interested, let me know. This car owes me the National Debt, so I'm asking $45,000 and will consider trades. Cheers.
