Hi everyone,

newly registered but been a keen reader for over a year. Mainly the forsale section.

Have been dreaming of a GTR for 15 years and i hopeful it will be coming very soon. Lucky at the moment with a few quality GTR's forsale in Perth.

On my way back to Perth next week from workin in Far North Queensland so thats when i'm hoping to get mine.

So is it just me or do other ppl lay awake half the night thinking about Skylines and what we can do to them. There are just an endless list of quality modifications for the skyline.

I've sent the last 5 years and a whole lotta cash (prolly one of the reasons i'm single again) modifying a Yamaha 500cc two stroke Wayne Rainey GP replica. And it still ain't finished. That used to keep me awake half the night too. Finish it one day, maybe i've got a little bored with it recently after some set backs.

Then theres my Nissan Patrol, built to be the ultimate beach basher, that's been on going for 10 years and still ain't finished. Got the small block chev in it but still some work to yet. Mainly cosmetic but still want air locking diffs for it too.

Last month brought a Suzuki 250cc two stroke Kevin Swantz GP replica, when i seen it i couldn't resist, i had to have it. That's eventually destined for a 500cc two stroke as well. That will be insane, 140hp / 130kg. Err nice power to weight ratio!!!!

Anyways look forward to seeing you all on the streets and the tracks/strips behind the wheel of a R32 GTR. I've wanted one of these since the wins at bathurst (Yes i'm old enough to have watched it live on the idiot box.)

I'm working away from Perth alot, all over Oz and all over the world. Just hope i can be in town when there are some cruises and track meets.

Just hope i can get sme sleep tonight with out thinkin bout the twin high mount turbos, maybe it will be the NOS this time. :huh:

Wow, i was totally expecting the "i just got my Ps and my parents gave me 30k that im going to sped on gtr where can i blow a sweet blow off valve?"

Sounds like deserve it m8, good luck and try not to get the modding bug too badly. Wouldnt worry about nos though, with a couple of hi mounts its going to have power on tap anyway :(

Look I'm certainly no expert when it comes to matters of the mind, although you're most probably not alone in suffering this condition I believe it's quite rare, but not necessarily cause for alarm.

anyway

Here's what I think you should do...

Women...give em a go.

Try taking one per night just before bed, you should see a change almost immediately, obviously.... if the problem persists see a doctor. :O:(:D

Good luck with the dream mate.

I got myself one of the 50 Aussie spec GTR's imported for the group A racing, nice bit of nostalgia. Recently I'd been tempted just to sell it off and buy something more practical (even posted it up in the for sale area). Changed my mind. I've started down the path of restoring the looks and mechanicals and finishing the performance package off that I have started.

I think these things are best tuned to around 400hp at the treads for a great street package. With the focus more on power delivery and response. That amount or power doesn't pose too big a threat to drivetrain damage or traction issues.

Nitrous is a alot of fun. The legality issue is a pain for road driving, you need a very modular setup to allow for quick and easy removal/ install. It's certainly one of the cheaper ways to enjoy occasional drag racing (at the motorplex) in your car.

Yes there are quite a few 32 gtrs in perth and still a few in japan destined for perth if ya look at imports 101 stock lists i think they have 3 or 4 nice little units ready to find a deserving home in perth.

I took the cheater way out and got a loan, but I am repaying it easily enough. I could pay more per month if I wanted...

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
