Greetings everyone,

I got my R32 GTS-T about a year ago and to be honest haven't achieved much due to time restraints. :D I have alot of the components together to make the mild upgrades such as pod,cold air induction,R33 GTR cooler,exhaust and made up jaycar DFA,TBC and controller but still finding time hard to come by at present. Enough of my sobe story and to the point. I was hoping there was some one in or around brisbane with similar mods that wouldn't mind meeting up at some point to take me for a spin and show me what the potential is?

The reason i ask is, i'm a freshly qualified mechanic so i can perform the mods myself but will take some time when on the flip side, I have a good friend in a perfomance shop that has told me for the amount of effort,time and money involved i'd be better off with an S15 and applying these breathing and cooling mods to achieve a much more lieghtal car.

So what do you guys think? and is anyone willing to show me there car? can be out cruising or what ever!

CHEERS in advance :D

Cheers for the opinions guys

R33S2- I was Planing to sidle up to a few people at the next cruise but for obvious reasons would be reluctant to take me for a spin which would detract from their cuise. Can't blame em, I wouldn't on an organised cruise either. It sounds good also to just get the mods done and reep the rewards but i'm spread very thinly time wise along with a currently interstate relationship (i'm sure a few of you would know what thats like). For me half the fun of it is the build and i'm learning to do the fabrication etc. etc myself. I don't mind it taking time but i'd like to experience what i'm working towards.All that said, point taken

Mud- Thanks for the heads up on people to contact. Thats exactly what i need. Actually tried pred a couple of days ago without result, so i hope the PM went through ok

BASICALLY ALL I'M AFTER IS A ONE TIME SEAT OF MY PANTS EXPERIENCE OF THE BASIC MODS I'M SURE MOST HAVE ACHIEVED. SOIF ANYONE IS WILLING, PLEASE DON'T HESTATE TO REPLY! CHEERS

Read preds site as well as much info off the forum. GREAT FORUM BY THE BY! And NISMO-BOY, your car sounds like an impressive weapon but within my budget i would allow for a greatly depreciating car since i perchased it i can't justify the money or time so i'm only after a reasonable streeter with maybe a turbo upgrade when the standard dies.

BIG CHEERS FOR THE POSTS THOUGH GUYS!

Sweet mate, You sir are a bloody legend and not blowing wind up your arse but your domokun pics are hilarious!

I'm a west side boy around indrooroopilly area so when is good for you?

I want to wait til after the dyno tune on the 21st. At the moment I am ashamed of the idle. But good news is you'll be able to feel it at 250+rwkw instead of 230rwkw.

Remind me again after the 21st and we'll go for a spin.

Most appreciated 3LIT3 32. I'll PM you closer to the date!

Did you also know that their is a nissan cruise to hinze dam on the 29th so it'd be great to see you out to kill some of the boost cruisers! all the details are in QLD events if interested

Still very interested if anyone else is willing as my expected power will be around the 150 to 160rwKw range which is well under 3LIT3 32's! So any other offers with similar mods to what i plan would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Don't be modest.

I'm not...it's a shitter.

Paint chips on the bonnet, center air vent has come out, centre console is coming apart, bootlid has more metallic in it so it looks more silvery than black, squeaks, rattles.

So yeah, it's shitty. apart from the flames...they're cool. Airplanes miss the runway when I'm driving over the gateway bridge coz they are dazzled by the light.

I could turn the boost down, fuel pressure, back the timing off. You could have all the comforts of an almost stock 32....cept the 100db out the exhaust lol

I'm on the goldcoast, could give u a ride with mild mods and the rb25 highflow (goes ok), but to be honest its auto so there goes 20-30% of the power and 90% of the fun.

Beau's one might not be a bad one.. least its manual :P

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
