Hey Guys,

I'm new to these boards, despite having been reading them for years. Finally decided since i have my skyline now, i should make the effort.

I've recently bought a Burgundy Pearl R32 GTS-T off Paul Tomkinson of Romsey. Hes owned it for 10 years since a friend of his personally imported it after owning it in Japan. He was a member of the Nissan Datsun Sports Owner club.

5 spd manual, fitted with the GTR bodykit from the factory. The car is in great shape in terms of body and interior, the RACV Comp Inspection mechanic said it was near flawless.

The car was tuned by Chip Control, and below are some of the mods.

GTR Injectors

Custom FMIC

Pod filter

Larger turbo (type to be comfirmed once heatshield is removed... im a busy man!)

Veeport Turbosmart BOV (To be replaced by Plumb back/legal BOV ASAP.)

DBA Slotted/Drilled calipers, performance pads.

Eagle F1 tyres on stock 16" alloys

larger Bosch fuelpump

Custom oil filter/catch cansetup.

Microtech LT-8

Timer

3" Exhaust start to finish

High-flowing cat

Heavy duty button clutch

Swaybars front and back

I'm sure theres more, thats all i can think of right now!

Plans for the future... Getting it to a more legal level, and creating a more drivable monster. I'd like to get it running smoothly without problems. I'll be posting on the forums as need be.

I also have some parts that i inherited from the past owner, including the original turbo and intake, injectors.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
