You'd have an R32 out the front of that pretty little fence you have

you're a dog

got a phone call from some kid from Gympie

"Just so you know, im 17 yrs old"

god help me

lol wtf does he want? hahaha

Budget on a rebuild with the GTR, Mine was as well looked after as any and it spun a bearing just because it was old and worn out, you might get lucky but the odds are you wont and it would be a shame to break it then not be able to afford to fix it. Other things to look out for are attessa systems that are clogged up and barely work, get Dan to flush it and give it the treatment he gave mine and it will trasform the car, all of a sudden the slow attessa lable that R32 GTRs get lumped with seems a little misguided. Cracked rotors are somthing to look out for as they really hammer the front brakes and the syncro for 3rd gear is often fubar and a sign that it has copped some abuse in a past life. Look for worn upper control arm bushes chances are any one you come across these will be on the way out so budget on getting those fixed. they are also pretty good at getting rust up under the rear guards and also check under the boot carpet as they can leak around the tail lights and fill the spare wheel well with water

As for ownership....they are an awesome car i spent a fortune on my r32 with a 25 and was never happy with it. First drive of the GTR just felt so much better as it had a little more power, better powerband and the ability to put it to the road anytime i wanted. The down side of ownership is complexity, any work you do on it (except changing sparkplugs :) ) will take a lot longer! They also use tonnes more fuel, at 315rwkw is was getting 550km mixed driving from a tank in my GTST...in the GTR it would have been lucky to get 400

Thanks mang for the info. Before I buy another car mr elite will defs be checking it over anyways. Oh and welcome to ps3 ownership and owning a real console right about meow

Huh? 32? What happen to the 34?

Think i want a house this year :blink: Either way I will see what happens with shit...

I'd budget for an engine rebuild if you are going to buy one because they are getting old now and stuff will break. I still think a standard gtr will be reliable if you're only using it for normal driving maybe a bit of a weekend thrash. Mine is still going strong after a year of daily driving and about 45000kms. Just regular services every 5 - 7500kms.

PS3 ftw. Tekken 6 mashing buttons is the most fun I've had in awhile.

Know what a decent rebuild is worth for a rb26? ( I know this question is basically the same as how longs a peice of string but I'm talking about a relatively stockish rebuild. I'd only ever want between 250 to 300 atw kw's)

Tekken 6 is orwesome....bought it the day it was released...play the f**ker more than fifa and the god of war collectors pack I got...

Ya face is.

aye? :laugh:

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
