Hi All

I'm a fanatic, a devoted rev head and I realised on of my many dreams recently.

I just bought a R32 GTR on the weekend, wanted to say hi and i'm chuffed (albeit also in DEBT for a very long time). 93 model, excellent condition and they still make new cars look old and boring (as far as i'm concerned) and well really to get the same value and calibre of sports/racing car brand new you're looking at a minimum of $60,000.

It has to be said, i'm excited - big kev style (bless his soul....not really)

and skylines Rock! - Particuarly GTR's

Can't wait to take it to the track (eventually after debts have eased), the only place to truly test this cars performance.

lol head shots were the plenty on sunday, must have been the in thing to get hit there.

Nice 32 you have there, word of advise change the oil pump drive if it has not been done already.

Are you going to bring the car on Thursday to K's???

Welcome to the forums, congrats on one of the best(and worst due to the money you'll spend) cars to buy for its price tag.

Julian, I have met you a couple of times, you work with Ian - my guardian?

Also you're R32 is brilliant, saw it at summernats on the dyno which was great! and also at the shannons car show. Very very nice car!

Do you know where i might be able to get my hands on a 4.5inch silencer/restrictor?

Ian mentioned you might have an exhaust that i may be able to borrow, perhaps? mine is too loud. I can rent and/or pay deposit.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.
