i would like to congratulate my mate pete for buying his first skyline... with a bit of convincing i converted him from a series 6 rx7 to a yellow r32 gtr with a trust kit....

you will see him on the forums soon....

number plates are "GTRRRR" you may have seen the guy driving it around... he said he is on these forums a bit so you may already know the car and him....

i drove to perth twice today once to look at it then he took our price so we went to the bank etc etc and went back up to perth to get it....

he now has a little godzilla in his carport....

goodluck pete hope everything goes smoothly....

ps. the car will have P plates on it untill november or some sht i think.... everyone will think he has a rich daddy....

Dude I test drove this car a month ago.

The gear box is screwed and apparently the engine leaks oil (though this could be a rumour)

But i can vouch for the gearbox.....its way too hard to get into gear (especialy 1st)

Might wanna get it checked, I dont mean to cause alarm, but thought I would let you know.

Car looks sweet though. How much he pay for it?

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
