Hi guys, I've just bought my first Skyline last week :) and I don't regret making this decision at all.

I've been waiting for this day for 5 years. She's an R32 GTR immaculate inside out.

As expected I do get a lot of attention on the road especially from the falcodores, but I think I like

this car too much to let her drag with those boys on the street, possibly hurting some one else

getting fines and say goodbye to my license.

Here are some pics ! :D

What twin plate you got?

I had a HKS twin plate when I 1st got my R32.

A bitch to drive as it's is either "In" or "Out" and not much play at all but you get use to it and perfect for high RPM Launches.

Thanks for the comments guys ! Now all I need is a set of Work Meister 18"

Yeah for sure!

What wheels are they atm?

Any mods?

I don't know what twin plates it is at the moment. Perhaps I might use one of the hoists and tools at school to pull it apart and see but

I don't see that happeneing sometimes soon. It has a bit of playing distance before in or out. The rims is not sure as well. They are some

factory Nissan similar to the 350Z one but I don't think it is :O They are 17".

Is there anyway in Melbourne I can check out some 2nd hand Japanese rims? I don't think I can afford brand new one yet :( and

still gotta pay for my insuarance so not much $$$ left

Yeah leave the twin plate and don't bother pulling it apart.

For 2nd hand wheels speak to Aaron from Import Monster, he has a lot of wheels for sale.

He is also a Member / Trader on SAU.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
