Hey 180sx_nissan_guru, the one you saw for $35k would have been a '95 model, a very average one too. You saying dealerships will have a GTR at that price???? Your just kidding yourself.

If you don't know if it was a '97 model or not don't post on here saying you can buy a '97 GTR for $35k.

As stated above, prove it and I'll buy one right now....

I was considering at one stage and still am just settling for a GTSt and putting in a second turbo some time down the track... becuase although i can push and shove for the GTR i still have to forke out the money for the insurance regarless of who's name it is under and not 100% confident about my ability to handle a GTR, i'm confident just not 100%

What dya think is it stuipid to go buy a GTSt and put in a second turbo some time down the track if i can get the GTR?

Don't forget i have to pay for the insurance regarless of who's name it is under and i'm on my P's btw

Thanks

first of all its illegal for you to drive a GTR on ya P's, or an R33 GTSt for that matter, but a lot of cops get confused... btu not by the GTR, they know its illegal.

Secondly the amount of time and money you waste putting a second turbo on u may as well get a GTR later.

and another thing, whacking a second turbo on dosen't make the car go fastr, it makes it spool faster, as you have one turbo for lower RPM and another for higher RPM. If you're after mad peak power all you have to do is bore out your RB25, and whack a big mother turbo (single) on it, and you'll make more power at the rears than a GTR.

Don't buy a GTR if you're after power... buy a GTR if you want handling, efficiency, ATESSA, etc.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
