OK Guys Im a Subaru RS driver and have been saving for my dream car, the GTR32.

I live on the east side of melbourne and am hoping that a generous GTR owner can take me for a drive to reassure me that they really are my dream car.

Id be happy to pay (say a $20) for someone to take me for a quick drive and give me a quick run down on what I should be looking out for when I go to buy one.

No Im not going to ask for a drive or carjack you I just want 20 minutes with someone who knows there sh1t.

Call me 0403 894438

or email me [email protected]

or PM me

Thanks

Mick

No one is going to be cheap enough to chase after your $20, no offence...just come along to a meet and ask someone nicely, people are almost always happy to show off their vehicles to other people.

Forget a R32 GTR! Get a 33 or a 34!

Thats the best thing youve said all day el presidente.

For the cost difference...a 33 is far more worth it...newer, dumps etc are stronger and dont need to be replaced...and all for like 3 grand more than a 32.

Get whatever you want! Just make sure if you get one of the older ones you have the $$$ to maintain it... not that people really want to prepare for that when they are thinking of getting a GTR. But I love my R34 because there's 50 thou k's on the clock and I know it's never going to do anything unexpected.

LOL. A very naive comment. Firstly, a lot of grey imports have had their clocks spun. Secondly, I had an R34 and ruined a gearbox. A very costly experience. FYI - I bought a 34 as they were the newest and I hoped for a trouble-free ownership... not to be. Still wish I had one tho.

I suspected someone would say that. I said on the clock. It would have definitely have been wound back, as we can assume that most imports are. The reason why I used this measurement is because it's relative. If you know how to read a motor then you will be able to work out the approximate k's without looking at the clock. Sucks about the gear box though, fortunately I haven't had any problems with mine yet.

True

lol, sounds like Skylines have a pretty bad reputation! I thought Nissan made reliable cars??

performance cars wear. The stress they're place under due solely to their nature makes parts wear quicker than say... A pulsar. Depends how u treat ur car. If u fang it... It's gonna wear out quicker.

A gtr wears even quicker again :bunny: only replacement parts are more expensive :P

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
