Well after almost 3 years and countless thousands spent I sold my GTR yesterday. I bought the car off a SAU member in melbourne and it's now gone to another SAU member but all the way over in Perth.

If your reading this Rob, I wish you all the best with it, it's a quality car with some good mods, good power and a lot of effort on tuning it quite safely.

I only ever advertised the car here on SAU which didnt see a post in it since october or so last year. So luckily I didn't have to go through the hassle of taking it for numerous test drives, meeting people etc etc.

Gotta say thanks to EVERYONE on SAU for all the help, encouragement and knowledge over the years, i'm in no means leaving SAU but will be different without having one :) for now anyway..

Reason for selling was just to be able to save some money basically. Everyone knows that owning GTR's require a considerable amount of money just to keep them on the road and it's time to move to something that doesn't.

I love the way the car went and looked and im currently sulking to myself about it not being out in the garage :P hehe

I put my GTR032 number plates in storage as it's worth the $50 a year if I get back into one in the future.

yeh 4THRLZ..well it's still around but he's just got normal plates on it and it's now just got a SSS non turbo engine in it. It just kept breaking gboxes with the GTIR engine and he quit work and started going to uni so needed a reliable car with little cash.

Yep, if ever you needed proof that all an R32 needs to look tough and tidy is a set of wheels and a slight lowering, then this is IT!!!

Nice looking car, without a doubt... Condolences, but at least you haven't ruled out owning another in the future!

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Dropped the car down to my mates shop on the 19th to get it on the dyno. Ran the motor in and dropped the running in oil and filter and filled it up with some engine oil.  Monday arvo I went down and we got a tune in her. Had a fun time trying to get it to hook up on the rollers. We end up having to roll into the throttle, reaching full throttle at around 6k. Made 23psi on gate then tapered off to 20psi up the top and spat out a healthy 700rwhp.  We had a slight voltage issue which was dropping ecu volts to around 11.8v so we called it quits and on Tuesday I went down and ran a couple of new power feeds to the ECU and DBW relays. Have yet to test it as we were trying to get things sent into the ECU from the TCU over CAN. We've now got oil temp, programme switch and gear position. Still working on gearbox speed, but have been told what to do so hopefully that will sort it. Once we've got speed working, we can start setting up the gear shift cuts and do some clutch adaptations in the TCU.  Should have the majority of it setup this week and go over the tune to see how it is now with the new power wire.  Was slack this time, didnt get any full runs as I was watching the TCU data on the laptop.

      Power Steering Fluid Leaking Consistently

      By silviaz · Posted

      Not until I googled it, now I remember lol. Seems like it's just to clean it up. But it doesn't stop the leak, I have a leak issue though? Thinking whether I need a new bottle, surely not lol.

      Ever seen a sock on a PS reservoir in a Jap video and wondered why?

      Does anyone have issues with their reservoir bottle leaking?? Mine I swear is always leaking from the cap, I realised there is no gasket, are they supposed to have one?
