The car went for its MOT and passed . Needed a front wheel bearing and a CV boot .

Ive also found out the springs were cut down a bit so have fitted stock ones which sits the car a little higher .

Ive removed the tacky foglight and wired the foglight through the heated screen switch to one of the reversing lights .This has the required warning light when its on (needed for UK regs) and means no extra switches on the dash . If I want the heated sceen on i have a hidden crosssover to convert the switch back to work it

A few pics of the first day out

Ive been asked my quite a few what its like driving a stock 32GTR . Well now i have taken the car for a nice run I can say.

It wasnt what I expected

First and biggest impression is it doesnt sound like a GTR

The car is amazingly quiet inside - You can even hear the injectors on tickover In fact you cant really hear the exhaust at all untill around 4000rpm . It does liven up after that but it is never even close to loud.

Handling wise its simply awesome for a stock 20+ year old car and goes in and out of all corners as if on rails . Admittedly it does have brand new suspension but even so I am very impressed ,

The brakes are not great but not as bad as I expected having got used to AP.s on my Stagea

The performance is not stunning . I can certainly see why they were/are modded

Around town it is really graet to drIve, . Power ciomes in pretty immeadiately with no lag. It is however not very quick when pushed anf does run out of steam at around 6000. This may be a bit unfair as I am used to twin 2560-5s

On a motorway it will cruise at pretty sensible speeds without a problem . It is actually quite eerie as there is no noise at all at road speed limits .not at all what I expected

But all in all I am very impressed for completely stock 20+ year old car- I think it would have knocked spots off what else was around at the time.

Awesome work, looks great in factory form.

One thing I'd add is there was a factory option for a rear strut brace (matching in red) and I reckon they improve the R32's handling no end.

Fit it.

The ass rigidity you will thank it for later on.
Especially on wet windy roads.

lol jokes - it just looks cool.
It does make it more stiff in the rear and at speed you can feel the difference (it was like that on my GTS-T's anyway..)

Ive decided to get the wheels redone as they let the rest of the car down.

does anyone know the correct paint name or code as mine are the wrong colour.

Had the car requested for a photoshoot a while back

the wheels came back from Lepsoms who did an optical colour match (whatever that is ) on a set of original wheels ..

A few pics of the wheels plus a recent pic of the car

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
