G'day,

I'm not new to the forum, been a member for over 12 months, but not really active.

I thought it was about time that I said G'day.

I am the proud owner of an R32 GTR 1994, had it about 12 months and haven't done too much as yet.

The forum has been a real source of info on all things Skyline, and extremely interesting.

I live on the NSW Central Coast, please don't hold that against me, it truly is God's country.

I've had a few cars over my years (being an older member) WRX, Integra Type S, Golf GTI *2 and can honestly say that I've been blown away (pardon the pun) by the Skyline.

Cheers,

Steve

Hey there,

Good to hear you like the skyline the best, So you went from a golf GTI to a GTR?

Why sell the WRX to get a GTI?

Sorry,

Not in the said order.

I had a Mk 1 GTI in 1982 and a 5 door Mk 2 in 1986.

I had my WRX in 1999 (MY2000) . ( I had a family in between, and a series of more appropriate cars)

Having said that the Mk1 GTI was more fun than the WRX. Although the WRX was quicker, the GTI was a more responsive car, no turbo to deal with, and with only 112 bhp!!

The Skyline is in a different class, I should be comparing it with Porsche or Ferrari, just never been able to afford that type of car.

I (my wife) has an Integra Type S, that's a bit of fun on country roads. She just loves to rev, the car that is!!

Cheers,

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
