A Little Mackay Talent

[Jimzvlt]

Hey all well I'm from up in central north qld in a place called mackay some may know it some may not... pretty well know for the big coal terminal and deep water harbour.... oh and the ever so glorious whitsundays at our doorstep...

Anywho I'm Jim and for my 21st birthday I picked up a bargain Black 1990 R32 Gts-t 138xxxkm for a song of $9000 with 6mths rego.. Now some may think its exy but I'm yet to mention this thing has had over $10K spent on it.. mods include

ADR approved fibreglass vented bonnet

18" Gold Volk GTC's

GCG highflowed 550hp turbo (ball bearing cartridge, bigger internals)

Cooling Pro Fmic

HKS split Dump

Walbro fuel pump

3" straight thru dump back exhaust (gutted cat no mufflers except cannon)

Stainless Turbo Manifold

Drift Pod Filter

Engine Dampner

Strut brace

Greddy Catch Can

Oil Cooler

Oil Filter Relocation Kit

HiCas Lockout Bar

Greddy 5 Puk Clutch

Fully adjustable HSD coil overs

Adjustable camber, castor, traction arms,control arms

Solid cradle arms

The only thing that hasnt been touched in the suspension setup is the swaybars.. Also has a decent stereo install which is a bonus

This package has pulled a best of 183rwkw on 13.5psi and a 14.00 second 1/4mile

I am currently saving for a powerfc, i already have some r33 gtr injectors and a z32 afm sitting waiting to go on.

Until the powerfc comes along i have a marobi remap comming just to see how it goes..... mapped for 18psi. which is where my turbos effeciency range is up to 24psi.

mate she looks great and seems to pull pretty hard also

seems like a good buy to me

have fun with her

Yeah she goes pretty nice atm... one thing i noticed going from a vlt to a r32 is the lack of low down torque... the turbo hits 1bar by around 3700-4000rpm after that shes all balls... 2nd gear is a bit ratty and squels n carrys on like a teenage girl thinking i may be up for a rb25det 5 speed...

This has nothing on my dads 400awkw gtr32 but..
