You can afford to raise the height of the car, easy fix for clearance

She drives really well thanks Bobby.

There's a li'l bit of scrubbing on the front tyres, so I'm thinking of lower profile or rolling the guards (which I've been told not to).

I think we might meet at some stage time/commitment permitting.

Again, thanks to all of you guys for support - the more warped it is, my humour appreciates it.

I run the 255/35 on the front. Mine are rolled.

Honestly Terry I'd have the front slightly rolled.

If it's the original paint and guard warmed before rolling there will be no paint flake.

(Resprayed guards and doing them cold will cause that crack and flake to happen)

Thanks for your input to Mick.

So it looks like...

1) tyre change to 35 profile

2) source progressive springs to suit Bilsteins > raise car

3) yet to be considered > guard rolling

Even as a kid, I used to love things that glow in the dark.

One of the things I'd purchased before receiving the car, thinking, "What do I need a glovebox for anyway?"

Not sure if I'll be looking over to the left that much though...

The rack Richard makes it (the R32) feel heavier than what it is. Or the corollary: the R34's rack makes it feel lighter than what it is.

Yes I like its 'rawness' a great deal. The R33 (which was my first GT-R) had a bit more oversteer which I actually liked.

I'm glad that I have upgraded the brakes, rotors, brake lines and castor rods on this R32.

Very well behaved. This is my 5th GT-R.

The 35 profile tyres have now eliminated scrubbing (compared to 40)

Thanks for asking :)

    • 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
