It Will Be Missed...

It is with great sadness that i announce the departing of my beloved 1989 R32 GTST Type M 4 Door. I've had the car for just over 12 months, and have loved every minute of it. I went from a 1992 Suzuki Swift GLX sedan 1.6L, to the gtst, and mark my words..what a change! powerless 1.6L front wheel drive (which still chopped civics!) to a 2.0L turbo'd rear wheel drive with completely different handling characteristics, and power dynamics. I am at this stage swapping the vehicle for a 180sx which i will be turning into a drift pig. She will be missed. I will continue to be a member of this site because i will eventually be getting my hands on a gtr. Every time i see a fellow skyliner i will be sure to wave/flash lights/honk because all of you guys are awesome and have helped me out of some sticky situations.

I thank you all so much, and hope to see some of you guys on the drift track!

I agree with Wink, you could turn your 32 into a drift car too. If you do turn your 32 into a 'driftpig', you can use the money you were about to spend on the 180 and put it towards your wedding. If your wedding is still going ahead, I'd say concerntrate on your soon to be wife and get a house, but that's just me. It's your life and if you want the 180 or 34 gtr, go right ahead mate.

Good luck with everything. :)

yeh thanks Grant..

NG0387 - it's obvious that you are young and will make your own mistakes/decisions.

I'm assuming the 180sx you got was the one with the ca18det in the sale section of this forum?

he was asking $7.5K.

I'm hoping that you got at least $4K on top of his car for your R32 4 door.

the other thing is, you had a 4 door R32 skyline.

it's pretty much the "IN THING" in that crap they call drifting, which you want to do.

You're car would have been so much better at it then a ca18 180sx with FMIC and a pod.

The skyline has better brakes, more powerful engine, etc.

If you come to a public forum and make posts about whatever you want to talk about, you are going to get peoples replies.

if you don't like it, then that's too bad.

everyone here is posting their own opinion/experience.

You started here with "I want a 1000kw R34 GTR" and we know where that went.

then you swapped your skyline for a ca18det 180sx?

That just seems stupid to me.

not to mention you calling a 180sx with pod and fmic a drift pig.

I'm not about to baby what i think just so it doesn't hurt your feelings.

Toughen the f*k up princess

same goes for your husband.

well before u go assuming things its not the one thats for 7.5k...and its got an SR20..and i never claimed that a 180 with a FMIC and pod was a drift pig..what i said was i wanted to turn it into a drift car which i have called a drift pig....and as for the GTR, yes they are my aspirations, i want a powerful R34 GTR, but thats my decision and it doesn't concern you. if u dnt agree with it fine but keep it to yourself. clearly no one hear cares

Here's what I'm saying:

Shut the f**k up, 'GTST'.

You obviously have it in for 'NGO387', so why not just stay out of his threads, and save the rest of us from reading your poor attempts at hassling him.

Agreed 120%.

You've assumed everything and know nothing yet your giving him a hard time about things you dont know about.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
