Finally, I Can Drive My Car!

[noakespg]

Hey everyone,

About 14 months ago I bought an R32 GTR, the car I have always wanted, and had every intention of meeting some other skyline owners on the forums.

Unfortunately, the cheap purchase price was offset by a blown head gasket and so a full rebuild was underway.

Anyhow, after heaps of work and heaps of cash I finally have it back and driving so I am keen to meet a few of you guys.

Look forward to catching up with everyone at some stage!

Yes. I was going to chat to you about that actually Michelle. I was going to join the SDMA this year and get my CAMS license sorted out.

Ill have to come along and say g'day the next one.

They are a pretty awesome clutch. I rember chatting to ed about where I got mine from. They were cheap as before the A$ crashed.

[GTRKat]

Hah so I hear! I was still pretty lucky, picked mine up almost brand new for $1300 from a wrecker.

That's a damn good price! From memory they are well over 2 grand now. I'm still getting used to the twin plate rattle though.

[GTRKat]

I'm never going to get used to the rattle!!!

Haha but love the jerking when the revs are too low. I swear sometimes I look like a fair tard cause no one understands what it's like to drive!!

All in all I'm really happy with it though! Not as scary as I thought it was going to be.

Awesome

The next one is on the 8th March and I'll be at Mt Panorama, but you would be made welcome, even without me there. Let me know if you are interested in the 8th and I will get you in touch with some super friendly people to help with membership and licence. You can get your CAMS L2S licence on the day of your first event.

If you would rather wait, I'm back there again on the 5th April. I think you will find anyone who joins SDMA in the next few months will get membership until end June 2010. But check with them first.

Let me know if you need help with preparation for the event i.e. fire ext, helmet etc.

[Bullet32]

Always happy to see another 32 around...

Nice work

[datto260Z]

Very nice mate, look forward to seeing it.

[EVL-R33]

Think I saw this last week when it was actually on the dyno at autotech, pulled around 320rwkw?

Yeah, that's the one.

Once Ed played with the timing a bit we pulled 340kw atw @ 22psi.

Its starting to get pretty nuts.

LOL!!! I know! It kills me every time I look at it. I want to get an N1 GTR kit for it. Just getting the time and inclination.
