ive always wanted to find the car that i would be able to call 'the one'

from a nice cool prelude back in the days, loved the interior and dash of this car.

to the first turbo...mitsu cordia.

was heaps of fun, but the torque steer was to toooo much! had 2 of those,

the silver one way modified nicely and loved it, but not the one, put the greatest sound system in it but got over that very quick

so i decided i NEEDEd to buy an R32 gtr and im in love with the beast!!!!

i keep it put away in the garage and is purely a weekender because the feeling of coming home on friday and opening up the garage, taking the covers off and taking it out is unbelivable.

now i just look for excuses to drive it on the weekends lol

its very very clean, reasonable stock, tuned and dyno'd when i got it at 202kw at the 4.

running 13psi very safe tune but still fun for the road.

great fine white example of a 32gtr i think...and SUPER happy with the purchase.

....on order a set of 18x9.5 gtr face white advan tc2. fingers crossed they look good.

white rims on white car, still unsure. heres hoping! :D

ANY CRUISES IN VIC IM IN! and looking forward to it

best advice is to do it properly the forst time...wasted so much money on swapping changing and modying crap cars.

gtr now all the way!

is 202kw at the 4 bout average for a gtr with no serious mods at 13psi????

would of thought it would have a bit more.

its the affordable dream car...especially in white!

i will be taking very good care of her, gets washed every time its driven just about. lol

so whats the next step in mods if i wana head in the power direction.

list of mods already on it.

full exhaust, power fc, EBC, 660sard injectors, koni adjustables all round. pods.

id be saying next step would be turbos and cams?????

what would be recommened for great response???

I like the HKS GT-SS:

- Similar to factory.

BUT:

- Steel wheels so you can run more boost.

- Ball bearing to spool faster and to offset the loss of the ceramic exhaust wheel.

- More modern design to give better boost characteristics.

- Larger exhaust housing to give more top end.

Nice looking car btw.

oh you got more mods than i was thinking... I have only got a cat back and some pods and an EBC @ 12psi and mine made 200awkw but the clutch was slipping at the time.. its got a new clutch now but I haven't run it since.

If you want good response turbo's that can still produce pretty serious power I would go twin gt-ss.

Has it got healthy compression? If so then R34N1 turbos are the most popular choice, so is pon-cam.

Looks tuff man!

R32 GTR's are already quite responsive.

Up the boost to just under 1 Bar (14.7 Psi) but depending on your twin turbo's condition, full turbo back exhaust as you said, upgrade your panel filter in your air box or go twin pods.

Upgrade suspension, strut brace, top quality brake pads and a nice heavy duty clutch are a must if you are planning to put some power into it.

I see you got the R33 GTR wheels and I believe they are 17" already, a good diametre but how wide are they? If you can fit wider wheels and keep it at 17" or go 18", that will help with handling.

Depending on how many kW's you want, I think it will be a while before you max out your standard 440cc fuel injectors...

APexi Power FC will come in handy with your boost tuning.

responsive enough, but could be better i think.

but im comparing it to a mate who has a modified evo9 and i think hes run 24psi lol

so when we swap cars....the evo is alot more responsive.

i know its ridiculous to compare the 2! but 24 psi feels good. lol

the current wheels are 235's i think, but i got a set of 18"x9.5 tc2's on order. and wrapping them in re01 i think there called?? some seriously good tyres ive heard??

and its pretty much already got all the standard upgrades.

its got a power fc but im too scared to play around with the controller lol and koni's all round plus i had to replace injectors cos the previous ones were shot. so we put in 660cc sards, so it would be ready for more power.

its ok power how is, but i know im a couple months i will need more! lol its always the way.

still makes me smile ever time i get in it :P.....sounds so gay, but so true

    • lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.    
    • Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno. 
    • Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser. 
    • Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.
    • Oh dear. That's um. There's like. Um. a lot of bare wires there. Take the whole thing out. Something is very very shorted somewhere. IT IS NOT CAUSED BY THAT "RELAY" (assuming it is a relay).
