Hey,

Have been looking at a r32 GTR, but the paint n panel work have slightly put me off...

So been shopping around and found a R32 GTS-T converted to a GTR N1.

Just wondering if any one could give me some advise on what i should check as i know this would had been a severe mod....

Including 4wd, RB26, front and rear guards. Looks really nice..

Also would this be registered as a GTR or GTS-T ?? as its changed a fair bit...

If possible can i get some further info on if this is a wise mod or just strange....

Thanks for the input.

It'd be registered as a modified GTS-t and it'd have to have an engineer's certificate to be legal. Interesting as to why someone went to all the trouble of doing all that, after all is said and done I bet it would have ended up being more expensive than buying an original GT-R.

So is it this one particular GT-R with bad paint and panel work that's put you off?

Because they're about 11 billion others out there :P

agree'd.. go the genuine GTR.. take ur time and search for one..

as the modified GTST will be very expensive to maintain etc as most the stuff will be custom and unavailable in the aftermarket

why have a copy GTR when u can just go and buy a real GTR

Hey cheers for the feedback.

Genuine GTR; Yeh very tru there are alot of them out there, working with a limit of about 20 for purchase price see a fair few around but mostly above the 25k mark for something that has a little work done to it and reasonable body...

Fake GTR; As for parts and stuff i would had imagined it would be same kind of price running gtr as same running gear ? not sure really seeking info :)

read a few reviews on the conversion and some say the gts chassis is lighter then gtr ???

But yeh the cost of it would had outta control glad i didnt pay for it :laugh:

Cheers again for the replies, see if u can help me a little further

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
