Hey All,

Recently got an R32 GTR and i'd like to know how long should I keep the car running after driving around before shutting it off?

Also, is it worth while getting a turbo timer installed?

Any feedback is appreciated.

-Michael-

^^ yep. any more than that is a waste of time and a waste of petrol. I have a turbo timer integrated with my alarm but only so I can grab my keys and jump out of the car. I switch the car off and then arm it, I could count on one hand the number of times I've let it run the full 90 seconds.

going by the manual it says:

Normal city driving = idle not necessary

High speed (~80km) = 20 seconds

High speed (~100km) = 1 minute

Steep mountain or continued driving above 100km = 2 minutes

Just drive calmly and casually for the last 5 minutes or so before you stop and let it idle for 10 seconds and your set.

      Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
