Hi Guys,

This is an odd request and i probably wont get the most positive of responses,

but here goes !

My cousin returns from the mines in about 3 weeks and is in love with GTI-R's but has never driven one. It is a hard to get a chance to try feel what these drive/look like up close etc as they are not really in car yards around WA.

The question i would like to ask is that if anyone who owns one would mind him taking it for a very very respectable put put around the block to get a feel for the car. Or at least just a peek at one up close rather than in auction pics.

He is 28 yr old with a seamless driving record and currently owns a showcar level commonwhore. What i am getting at is he will not be a arse. He refuses to even drive my car hard.

Cheers

Avram

I have a Dakar GTiR and have 5 freinds with GTiRs in Perth.I think GTiRs are tops and have set lap records and run 12s at the plex in my GTiR before it was modifyed.I would recommend them to anyone and can't understand why anyone would have a WRX when you can get a GTiR for less and thats for a much quicker car.

I have proven them faster beating the best WRXs in town, Anyone with a wrex that thinks me wrong can try beat my time at meelup hillclimb, even Tony floods winning time this year was 2 sec slower.Go for it.

i have been gunning a gti-r for so long now, but all the examples that come through from an importer here are terrible looking condition wise.

one day i will get one.

raasclaat, dont mean to hijak but if anyone knows of an sr20 in a half cut waiting for a SSS pulsar, let me know

ok thanks steve. Hopefully yours will be at SST when i get a dyno done on my r32 when my cuz gets back.

He just wants to check out the car inside etc if you wouldnt mind. pics online never really show the small things u want to know before importing a car.

I personally have always loved them, but also never driven one. They are so ugly they are cool.

cheers

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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
