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.

u got a good buy there mate. when i get the money up i hope to have a standard skyline to drive everyday and have my r34 for the track or vice versa. my other skyline has to be a GTR though, wont have anything less. i guess we shall see how the market goes over the next few years.

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!

Off your meds again Nick? :down:

Good buy, just make sure the Mrs doesnt start askign why hers isnt as quick as yours...you will have real problems then ;)

Where is your car up to? Did you cage it? Looking forward to getting back to Aus in a few weeks and seeing if my thing remembers its way around a track :banana:

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......

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
