Hi peeps,

Though I'd just say hello,

I just bought my dream car, an R32 GTR and obviously am super happy. The engine is about a week from being finished with forged pistons, new Turbo's etc etc etc.

Just sent off my SUA QLD application form and am looking forward to plenty of fun experiences with you guys (and gals)

Bye for now........

Cheers

Tom Mac

They say you should NEVER photograph cars on grass.

Not sure about that, but I am sure I would like to own your great lookin GTR line! :D

AND you probably paid less for it than I did buying my GTS4! (8 Years ago;-)

The work is getting done at ASR Motorsport on the Gold Coast where I live. He's a guru ( and a freind ) who guarantees his engines. He's built plenty of RB26's that are solid.

I only paid $14000 for it which was a steal considering I nearly bought the first one I saw 3 months ago for $23000 with 170,000Km's.

When I bought it I knew it had a knock and needed a rebuild but I think the price reflected that.

News to date, the block now has a crack in it and my engineer won't gaurantee the motor unless I get another block so I've been desperatly trying to find an RB26 Block with Gurdle but I'm struggling. I searched thru the forums but am waiting on replies to my PM's.

Wish me luck....

Cheers

Tom Mac

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.
