Yes it is gunmetal gray (yah someone remembers me lol). I was friends with Graham (who had the blue bird turbo), Kim and Gav (who had the pular gtir that Ragolie's blew up, more than once). I know a few ppl saw me race Stew (I think that was his name) in a black torana when I first got my car. Plus I put my car in a dyno comp in Kunda park and got second by 6 hp(although I got ripped off cause they where doing my car in 5 gear hittimg speed limiter till i pointed it out, so they did it in 4th, but they did the v8 car that beat me in 3rd gear). There was a few more times I raced ppl, but these where the times were there was the most ppl there.

And yeah I have seen a midnight blue one, but it was a while ago. I don't come out much anymore so I am a bit out of the loop.

yeah back in the day lol i used to hang out with dan in the starlet OGT01 back then. u would probably remember that car. we used to talk to graham and gav and all them aswell. good guys.

The R32 made its first pass on the streets of the sunny coast today with me as the driver ahah!

So proud of her.. :)

oh and TEZ33 and i wanna get a skyline meet sometime this weekend(near to) happening! So let one of us know if you are keen! Meet up and have a cruze along the ocean route from say noosa to mooloolaba & threw to kings beach in caloundra or something?? dunno yet plans arnt set but yeah!

Strange, i dont remember you or the car at all, did it have trust t517's on it?.. some pic's might jog my memory! Yeah that oe was my midnight blue one.. i'm not on the coast anymore so you wouldn't have seen it if you where in the loop!

I tried to upload a pic of my car not sure if it worked, guess i will find out when I post this. Yeah I do remember the starlet. I even remember racing him :) . Graham has just bought a nissan stager, one of the new ones with a v6 in it.

yeah sounds like us back then lol yeah graham got an M35 stagea aye, nice 1. havent seen him in a bit. his son chris is on here sometimes aswell.

Yeah i went to Chris's wedding last year. I am getting Married too this year, and will be looking to get some GTR's together for the day, but I will put a post up when it gets a bit closer to the date. Everyone is getting old and doing all that silly stuff like getting married and having kids lol.

Why did you sell the r34, it was a great looking car, I spotted it a few times around the coast, so what you doing with yourself now days? Yeah i still have the ol 32, was just getting ready to sell it and buy an r34 gt-r when the yen shat itself... so i'm just about to start a ground up build on her, its gonna take a while but by the end it should be pretty mental, think full house rb26/30, full adjustable suspension, lighter doors/bonnet/boot ect, roll cage and so on. The aim is easy 10's and still be able to run good times at the circuit :D

I sold it because I moved O/S. In Hong Kong now. I deal with importing and exporting, I can get all types of stuff here. I do miss the 34. lots of R35 Gtr's here.

Thank god the GTR is a Four wheel drive. Don't you just love family cars!! :D

Lol yeah, my girl has tried to get me to get me to sell mine, but I am staying strong to the cause!! I still have it, it sits at my parents in there shed. It will come back out one day, bigger and stronger than befor!! ;)

Saw my first 35 yesterday in bris, number plate 1 gtr. They look better in real life. I wasn't sold on the look of them in pic's and on youtube, but in the flesh they look good! I like it, I like it alot! If I get told to sell the 32 cause we need something a little bigger, I think I might get a 35 lol... I wish lol...

well if the car doesnt owe you anything etc, which id say it wouldnt by now coz u have had it for so long, and obviously u like it, then i dont see the point in selling it, i personally wouldnt unless u needed the cash for something else of course. some guys get married or meet a girl and they get told to sell of there cars by them, i think thats not good. lol then what will they have to tinker with in there spare time hey!

have to get used to driving it first, haha dont know how well id go either, never beeen. how was sunday?

I am sure you will have no problems at all. No one else could even try and pull off a Yandi run like you. You doing the 22nd? Should have her by then.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
