yummy! always loved the look of the old DR's, still not quite as hot as the peter gibson hr's but still quite sexual..... if i was rich i would be on that thing in a heartbeat.

hey they said their negotiable, drop em an offer :verymad:

will peter jackson pay you sponser ship money to drive it?

well i think thats the most ive eva seen someone asking for that model skyline.

shouldnt that be like in a museum somewhere? birdwood maybe, i mean picture writing that off, dont think insurance can replace it

i still think it looks like ass! lol my 33 pwns that over looks... ahaha

like no offence, but if u ever even tried to compared ur car with this ud just be wasting ur time.

f**king nice peice of work, but gotta say the price tag on it does seem a bit steep, even with the history behind it imo.

hopefully the buyer puts it where it belongs, in a museum somewhere.

would be sad to see some clown with more money the brains buy it and kill it, having said that, it would be awesome to see it launch around a track with someone decent behind the wheel.

u guys seriously think that looks good? im not saying the whole car is like ass just saying about the 'looks' i personally dont like it lol.. would you prefer the look of a 33 gtr or a dr30? lol

Edited by gtrkiet

i thought it was r33 you preferred?

for its day, it was an incredibly agressive looking car.

and in 'this day' i would still take the 30, even now it looks mean, and the history behind it adds to the appeal of course.

its mechanical genius and even by todays standard put a top notch driver in it and it would give the super V8s a run for there money

its not a show car thats not what we like about it, its because it was the underdog plus group A touring man

If it wasnt for cars like that the skyline wouldnt have its racing hisotry..... Really what has the R33 or R34 gone down for in history....sweet f/a it was the the 32 and previous that caused the ledgend of godzilla

The owner of this car also has the GIO GT-R. Ex-Gibson employee.

Lots of work done to bring this car back to "as raced" spec.

Actually got to see this car, the Winfield GT-R and one of the R31 T/Cars running around DECA in Shepp. at the Skyline Nationals. Very nice.

All 3 owners are some of the nicest guys you're likely too meet.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • 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...
    • 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.
