I have picked up this arvo my new ride R32 GTR in nice all white with unmarked 5 spoke NSgt2 rims.

I bought the car from Carizma in Melbourne and it arrived here as it's being descibed with no nasty suprises......... so far.

i was beside myself when Ceva rang me (car carriers) that it's ready for pick up.

I felt so empty since my black gtst was sold and so uncomplete. I'm all good now and the fun starts here Wooohooo.

I'm baaack.

I just had to share this with you since my wife is not happy for me (she can't see the diff. WTF?? beetwen cars)

Happy Dave :P:P:(

congrats on the purchase buddy, ive only had mine for two weeks now and im in love!

a word of advice, i purchased my last car (the gtst 4 door) from carizma. i found that there were a number of items that were supposed to be rectified on the car for road worthy that were simply left out. just go over your car fully (or even take it to a mechanic) to make sure its all good. i had to take mine back several times before it was road worthy.

other than that im sure these coming weeks will be full of fun for you, as they were for me!

so how much power is she making?

I agree with jenkies, a decent run around some twisties will have the missus saying GTR FTW!!!

... or she will hate you for scaring the crap out of her... one or the other.

You can tell its had a basic respray. I would have cleaned the engine bay of the primer and paint dust before i sold it though :D

But congrats mate all the same. Turn the wick up on that thing.

Thanks namo, I know she's not perfect example and yes it is basic respray but I guess you always get what you pay for.

For the money it's OK and I'll clean it up a bit.

I've already had to replace main switch for lights and fix the side skirts and it apears (making noise when cold) that I will need new starter motor as well just for starters.

Oh and I hate the coil overs (JIC) great for track not for Sydney roads. Also twin plate cluch not very friendly in traffic!

As I said before the fun has begun. *being sarcastic*

Long live the king...

Very Nice Dave!!

Massive fan of White R32 GTR's

Looks awesome!! Will we see it on the track any time soon?

Not quite yet as I need to check everything and service so it doesn't wimp out on me at the outing I would hate that.

However I will need to wait so I can save some money as my budget for my play toy is empty. :D

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
