Hey,

Good to find some fellow enthuisiests, hello to everyone. Im new to SAU but not to skylines, have two R31s but am now the proud owner of my first R32 GTR.

Dont know if any of you know the previous owner, Ron Libbis? It was his personal GTR, not one of the hundreds he imports as a hoby, so its immaculate.

I cant get over that I now own a GTR and a very nice one at that :yucky: Im stoked!

Cheers!

Cool, another burgendy out there. They call the colour by a few different names dont they, Ive heard "wine red" and "burgendy" and just then of you, "pearl red".

I love the look of the original bars but I love this one just as much, oh and its a tommy kiara front bar. Thing I love about this car is I dont have to do anything to it, my modding and fixing days are saved for the 31s :pirate:

jaw drops... oh my god thaT thing is beautiful... good luck with it...what mods?

In terms of engine mods its not far off from standard but setup very nicely with R34 N1 turbos pushing out 270kw at all 4 wheels. I wont say much more than that for now, but shes pretty darn quick....

Cheers!

I'm intrigued with the white engine bay?

Was the car originally pearl red from factory?

the paint is immaculate. i'd say respray at some time for sure, just because of the engine bay paint...

i'd find it hard to believe that the engine bay hasn't been resprayed at some time. there is no way white paint in the engine bay can look that good after so many years....

the external paint could be standard though, it just needs to be well looked after.

The car was originally gun metal grey, and the proof is the rear strut towers as the only part not repsrayed. It was resprayed pearl red with the white engine bay (im guessing to make the engine parts stand out) by the last owner in Japan before Ron imported it.

Cheers!

Oh and I took the liberty of providing the evidence of my owning the car as I know there are a lot of f**kwits out there with a twisted sense of humour pretending to own awsome cars.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
