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.

Absolutely stunning car all over and possibly the sexiest wheels ive ever seen in my life, very sad to see that 1 go Jono!

Make sure you call me next time a Northside cruise is on so you can ride shotgun in my new GTR.

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!

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
