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.

Actually, (geez I'm slow today) is this the car I've seen heaps of times at Autotech??

Yep! Thats where its been! I saw your engine before it went in btw. What a monster! Awesome torque curve.

She's looking beautiful Pete, are you going to try her out at the Hillclimb sometime?

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.

Nice clutch you got in there! Haha, was Ed that talked me into getting mine based on what's in yours :down:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

      All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
