G'Day guys,

Looking to get an R32 which I will drive on the road, but would like to slowly build it up for track days also. Due to current outlays, the only way I can do this is to swap my 2004 R1. Its an awesome bike, very well maintained and with some unique carbon fibre bits.

All info here.

Any questions welcome.

Cheers

keep the r1..

Ha, yes I do feel that when I ride it for sure!! I love this thing, but just dont use it anymore. I have never tracked it, but from having used to race sports sedans in QLD, I have the itch again and Superlap looks like a cool thing. So a change would be good for something I could thrash a bit, my Mercedes is awesome too, but cant imagine fanging around a track in it!! :D

Love the R1 mate! I've got a big HP R33 and also a R1 and I must say the R1 gives me more of a thrill than the Skyline.. Will have to be a serious R32 to out do your R1! Good luck with the sale :)

if your planning on building a car for superlap... then why cant you still hang on to the r1?? as far as superlap cars go... $11000 is small change. one day, maybe a year or so from now, you'll want to take it out for a fang, and there it will be, in its capsule type cover, just waiting.. its not worth selling unless you really have to.. im guessing youve spent close to what you want for it on the parts alone.

people pay more for art, that just hangs on the wall and does sweet f/a, that thing is both art, and exciting

id pay $11000 just to have it in the garage, sitting on pit stands.

Problem is I have too much stuff! Due to starting a family I went out and have just bought a 2005 3.0 R Spec B Liberty Wagon. Its an awesome car, but I am now stretched out to pay it off. I also have a 1967 300SEL with a RB30 Turbo motor in it. Great fun, cool as car, but of course it soaks the cash as well!! So the only way I can play with a new toy (like a superlap car) is to exchange my bike to do it. Whether I sell it or trade it for something doesnt matter. So now I have my partners old car to sell, and my R1. $11,000 you say? Id take that for sure.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
