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

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
