Hi guys Im new to this site and I thought I would post a few pics up of my R32 drift pig. From experience I would have to say that a 32 is easier to slide than an s13 plus its a skyline haha. RB20's are the bomb. This car lived on limiter while I had it and nothing broke at all except for the stock turbo.

Heres a pic of the thing after me and some mates got got wasted and decided we were fullsick (sarcasm) graffiti artists haha $.post-35562-1171911349.jpg

I live in Townsville and I bought it from some dude down on the coast for $7k with a roadworthy (dunno how he got it cause every thing but the engine was stuffed).

List of mods:

Replaced stuffed shocks with less stuffed JIC coilovers

rb25 turbo (rear wheel on the stocker cried enough and tried to escape out the exhaust).

front mount

screamer pipe off the internal gate

set of 18 inch dishies (nicked of my soarer)

gtr drivers seat

nismo 2-way diff

new r32 gearbox

new exedy clutch

front and rear strut braces

tubosmart bleed valve set at 0.9 bar

made 162 rwkw on dyno dynamics dyno

The rest of the pics show it in various stages. Anyhow me and a mate from uni ended up giving it a backyard 2pac paintjob in that baby blue commodore colour and fitting a URAS kit.

Just sold it and I thought I'd be happy just cruising around in my soarer ( manual got a Trust T78-33d ) but Im having RB withdrawls so if anyone is selling a manual R33 gts25t for $11-13k pm me.

markimak. yeah in hindsight it was pretty foolish. but the paint was shagged anyway so it didn't matter.

In the end it turned out OK and I had to sand all that crap off of it while prepping it for paint so I learnt a fair bit at the same time.

Dude if you think I would do that to a clean GTR like yours or something, you are mistaken :laugh:

      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 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
