g'day to all, my names luke and i've joined up with these forums to get a little advice

i currently own a FC3S rx7 and am looking for a new toy, mostly for track days but also for fun blasts through the hills etc - im after something a little more powerful than the 7 and have always been a admirer of the r32 gtr's

im interested in trying to find a R32 gtr and was after some opinions on what they are like to own, drive and take to the track.

i was also after some information on what most of you feel is the better option when buying one, wether to try to pick one up locally (hard being in SA) or importing/buying interstate.

and any other advice, like weak points of the make, or things which should probably cos $5 to replace but really cost $100.

thanks in advance for any advice.

luke

G'day Luke,and a heeeoooge "welcome aboard"! I think you'll find most on these forums are pretty friendly! Best thing you can do here is do a search on the R32 GT-R from the search tool in the top tool bar:you will find HEAPS of info'! It's been a question asked MANY times,so the gang will probably point you there to save valuable typing time that can be spent on new topics! 'm a very biased R32 owner,and I'd talk/type your ear off,but I have to go to work! So;enjoy being an SAU'er now(although I don't mind rotors,either)and "get stuck into it"! Cheers! Jayce.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
