Comments / Modifications:

The car makes a very stable 245.9 rwkws but at the time, it had a sliping clutch which you can see on the top of the dyno graph where it gets a little jaggedy, that'd be the clutch jumping around a bit.

This has since been replaced with an awesome, genuine Exedy kit designed for the GTR so it can really take a pounding if you wanna upgrade further.

Also, the plugs were gapped down to 0.65mm to stop the misfiring. This also has been adressed with replacement Splitfire coilpacks, and the plugs returned to 0.8mm. Zero misfires! :blink:

I might get it back on the dyno and see if the clutch and splitfires make a difference to the top of the curve, and maybe crack the 250rwkws :D

The car has been tuned by The Hitman in Penrith.

Most people have heard of him and his reputation. Excellent!

It has a very standard look apart from the the Apexi Rev Speed Meter and a Blitz Boost Gauge.

The car is in excellent condition.

I had it inspected before I bought using Sydney Vehicle Checking Company.

They gave it a well above average rating and said that it's unusual to find these cars in this condition with NO rust and NO panel damage. So I bought it.

...if you haven't heard of them or used them before, they go over every panel with a magnet tester looking for signs of bog/rust etc...

It was bought from a fellow who imported it just to make a buck, which was fine by me, so I am the 1st Australian road registered owner.

Never been dragged (althouhg i'd like too), but has been to the Wakefield Raceway once when it was on the standard turbo on 7psi (4 yrs ago). And I'm no race driver so it's had a pretty easy life.

Other people with the HKS2535 have made mid 12's on the drag.

Robo's (i think) had mid 12's on the 2530 and then made low 12's on the 2535

( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/PB...5-s-t74271.html , this is his 2530 thread with the 2535 reult in his signature )

Time to downgrade unfortunatley and get some cash for house reno's :)

Also 5yrs ownership and me getting older, it's time to move on.

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
