Hey everyone on SAU :P

I just purchased a GTR R32 and found myself with those little annoying problems of getting it registered into my name. Luckly they are rather little. Basically if you have read my post in 'i can lend' thread Bluey started up then you will know what i need. Basically I need a stock Exhaust (that or stock suspension) as the muffler is too low (9cm) when the car is under full load (4 people sitting in it) so either need stock suspension to raise it a few cm (as it looks like it has lower springs) or the exhaust that will fit more closer to the body. Second is the more important but which is that i require a r32 GTR bonnet as my current is CF and the RTA havent made a rule of whether they are generally safe so a RTA engineer has to take a look at it and make a ruling themselves. I'm willing to pay for the 'rent' aswell.

So I anyone has one or two of those give me a PM and go from there. I haven't had chance at taking pictures, but once i start driving it around you will see it (ITS GREEN!! O.o)

Thanks for reading.

I though that to as if that was case then they could never defect you for ride height if it was at 10.5cm with only you in your car, but 9cm IF you had a full passangered car. I have to look into that furtherly so if anyone has a definate ruling on that please let us know :P Also would it be different in NSW then in ACT?

Looks like I'll be buying some stock springs so I can get it registered as it doesn't seem like anyone has any to borrow. So just need to ask a question. If someone has a GTR r32 which still have its stock springs on it, can you please measure the distance between the top of the rear guard and the centre wheel hub. I'm trying to figure out if buying stocks will push it up atleast another 2cm as that will get it past RTA even with 4 guys in car.

Thanks!

If you have coil overs [and you must to get it low], then just get someone to wind the adjustment up on the locking rings. I'd reckon you'd have plenty there to use.

If you have the 'C' spanners you could do it yourself.

It's got lower king springs on it or something, but I got some stock springs and going to put them on. Does anyone in ACT want to get rid of their stock wheels?

They gave me a sheet about lowering a car, and it has to be above 10cm under a load of 63kg per seat?? Wouldnt know how they got that figure??

Thanks for the replys

Would anyone know if r33 GTST wheels (stock) will fit my R32 GTR properly to get it over the Pits. I'm not sure about the offset or the it fouling the breaks. Also will the RTA have a go at my wheels if there is a spacer on it (as i seem to remember to the offset is less on GTST wheels then on GTR wheels.)

CHEERS!!

The problem will be if you use bolt on spacers that are shorter than your wheel studs then you will most likely have to grind the studs down to make them fit and thats illegal, however if you get spacers that are wide enough that you wont need to grind your studs down they will probably increase your wheel track to much and they'll fail you on that... Youre better off finding a set of standard GTR wheels if you can.

Spacers arent a good idea anyway.

Thanks for the advice Bullet32. I've found a set of GTR standards and waiting for PM reply. I just want it on the road as soon as possible as having it sitting in my garage looking pretty isnt really what a GTR was built to do.

Cheers :)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
