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

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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 🍻
