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

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
