thanx for all the great positive comments! :( cheers everyone.

its a 92 model

the work im getting done is from potek, they seem pretty good.

1 little problem im noticeing atm is according the the power fc controller the air temp readin gets up to 40 - 50 degress and the water temp gets up to 70.

is this too high????

should i get the pods boxed up to keep them cooler cos after driving it i touch feel them and there warm!

my mate just sold his evo 9 for a black fd rx7...looks mean, but the evo was a much better car. the rx7 is stupidly tiny inside!!!

good to hear your going to protek.. dom & joe do some good work and have had some very quick gtrs come out of there..

congrats on the buy :)

awesome car. great buy. id change the turbos pretty soon if they're still stock. GT-SS are awesome. i got mine when i was on my 1st rebuild. great responsiveness and power. a little too small for the 2.8 now though. i really need to look at selling them :D and getting some bigger 1s. Perfect turbos for the RB26

what type of price would u wana get for ure gt-ss????

and dom at protek looks after the car very well, they seem like a good bunch of guys there.

ans is there a bolt on, or something to that effect for coolin, like a box and some sort of better cool air intake, or best to custom make??

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

gone through a few cars on the way, so heres the pics to show the journey.

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

then skylines...r32 i belive is always the only skyline ive ever wanted.

gtst was ok but didnt really have the 'it factor.

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! :P

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

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
