Hi All,

My father is looking at getting an R32 GT-R but is having all sorts of problems actually finding somewhere to have a drive in one -- every dealer has refused unless he basically agrees to buy the car *before* purchasing. Apparently this is the way the grey market dealers work ;)

Anyway, doesn't anyone know somewhere that allows test drives in the Sydney region ? He is serious about purchasing, but is not going to purchase something without at least driving it first :)

Cheers,

Lucien.

Your father had better get used to it. Finding a dealer or anyone prepared to let you test drive a GTR will be very hard - considering the numbers of recent car jackings and thefts its not surprising.

I can understand their concern, but they are not justified in regards to my father ;) He could just try and ring someone out of the tradingpost, but he feels it would be unfair to try and waste their time just for a test drive...

Its all a bit silly.. at the end of the day he is happy to leave a deposit if need be, and yet still some dealerships won't let him even sit in the silly things.

Blitz hit it on the head, with the amount of car jackings and thefts at the moment, its no suprise nowhere will let you test drive one.

A deposit wont cover the value of a GTR if your dad decided to make off with it (which im not saying he would, but you need to see this from the dealers perspective).

But leaving his car, a copy of his license, and a deposit is surely enough.. plus having a dealer in the car... I mean what else can one offer to snag a test drive?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.

      R34 GTT AC short cycling ? Normal behaviour?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
