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.

I been driving down there for years now, got a mate that lives in 'the outlook'..ever seen a blue N15 pulsar sedan? It use to be quicker than the 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!

      Returning after a long time!

      By Pac · Posted

      Welcome back mate ,I also joined in the early 2000's , since then I have been in and out a few times depending if I had a skyline in the garage.  I have the another one now , so signed up and back with the SAU team.

      I used "different strokes for different folks" quite pointedly as honestly, there is no wrong when it comes to choosing what you like.  I always day dreamed about flappy paddles with fast shifts in a sporty RWD Turbo and to me the sound and feel of it cutting through gears in a steady stream is exciting, engaging, and keeps the car better balanced - I *also* like h-patterns, but I find them more engaging and fun in a nice hoonable peaky NA thing.  Type-R Integra/old school NA rotary, things that are raw and need all the rpm where picking the gear and getting it sky high is part of the engagement of the whole thing despite the fact that they probably need closer ratios and faster shifts even more than a 3l turbo thing haha

      If I wasn't allowed or really had the desire to visit China it would probably fit in my carry on, but I have no desire, Japan would be nice during Cherry Blossom time though I might need to chat to Jackie about that, that should actually be an easy conversation though as she is currently talking about another cruise, cruise ship to Japan, a week in Japan to see the sights, then cruise home I may even be able to find those OEM NC Recaro seats over there that I cannot find here 🤔

      What do you mean?  In between the two I shared?  They're the same boost   This will be insane.   A mate has a GTSt with a 9:1 RB30/25 with Tomei 256 cams and a Borg S362SX-E that is already a beast from the basement but has a stock 5 speed and will probably get a ZF8 one day.  After the G35 900 RB26 setup I'd be lying if the topic of "Wtf would a divided G35 be like on this thing?" idea hadn't come up - you'd definitely want a wide boost control range setup with it, as even with the less responsive and potent S361 we're having to ramp boost in from very low levels in the early gears.

      ZF8 is faster, wider ratio spread, better in every way. I do not dispute this. But I have brain damage and I want the feeling of shifting gears. To me the extra work is fun, but I daily an automatic and in the US like 90+% of cars are automatic so a manual transmission is an "exotic" experience. If I want an automatic I've driven an F80 M3 with DCT more than a few times and it's incredibly capable but it's emotionally vacant to me.
