I guess I can't get enough of the old 32s......so I bought another one. My silver one keeps getting more track orientated and I wanted something more street friendly. I also miss having a stock GTR. Due to how (relatively) civilised the new one is my wife is happy to get in it and I've even got a baby seat in the back for my daughter. I can now combine family days out and taking a GTR for a spin.....Went up Authur's Seat yesterday and all through Red Hill which was fantastic. Now I've got to resist fiddling with this one but I'm not sure how long I'll last before I can't help myself.....

The car is a 1992 and has 177k klms on it which I dare say is a real figure (unlike the 90k readings on almost all GTRs, including my other one). Rims are unmarked and the car is stock save for a stupidly large Jasma cannon and some sort of Tein suspension. Drives really nicely but feels a little strangled by the zorst.......Overall it's in great condition. Fingers crossed the engine and turbs hang on for a while.

2 GTRs in my garage makes me very happy.

Hope you like.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Femno, I see where you're coming from but I just love them. I also know them and have parts and people around me to help with the inevitable fix ups and upgrades. The silver one is pretty hairy chested now and isn't that much fun on the road, so hence the streeter. Personal preference I guess. What would you get for that brief for $17k?

I discovered that someone has signed the back of the sun visor on the driver's side. Wondered if anyone had seen something like this before. Perhaps my car was owned by a Japanese celebrity? Image attached.

Car is in great condition. If that's what $17k buys you now I'd be there as well - just need a 3rd garage! :down:

LOL at the photo's outside Baby Bunting, jeez I've dropped some coin there.

I had the baby seat in mine before the cage went in - the seat anchor is still on the parcel shelf as I can't get to it to take it off now!

Does BBGTR stand for Baby Bunting GTR?

No cage yet. I've been thinking full cage but have a few things to consider before I do that so I might just get a seat and harness for now......

      Definitely a hearty eater when we go out, I consider these meals my cheat day as I've been watching my calories in and calories out pretty hard since my little fun size stroke, I've gone from a fat boy of 89 Kg, I'm only 165cm tall/short, down to a almost semi lean 73 Kg over the last few years, I'm currently around 17% body fat which my doctor is very happy with, but, my goal is to slowly get down to and maintain 15%,so yeah, I want all of the protein, carbs, fats and sugars when I go out for a binge

      There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater

      Going by the intake & injectors I'd be guessing it's a DE, check the head casting number, should be 5L8 on a DET, 5L7 I think is the DE number.
