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

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
