hi guys,

i live in sydney & i am interested in an r32gtr which is in vic.

my mate who lives in vic has looked at it & says its a good car, however, i want to organise an inspection to make sure that it has not had a rollcage in the past, there is no accident damage & that the suspension/bushes are not showing any signs of circuit abuse in its previous life when in japan.

which workshop is recommended near the cbd (hopefully within 30min drive) who can look at it on a hoist?

ive been quoted $200 which i thought sound a bit rich!? maybe im wrong :)

regards

marko

Within 30 mins of CBD...

Chasers Motorworks in Footscray.

RE Customs in Springvale.

Protek in Preston.

There are others, can't remember...

$200 for workshop inspection? Sounds right.

I think even the RACV vehicle checks are about $200. I would prefer a GTR specialist at least that way they know what to check.

fair point - have u guys heard of 'NuNismo'? are they reputable gtr specialists?

Sounds like the old "Nisma" workshop re-badged, somewhere that is most certainly not reputable.

Honestly you are better off paying for a full Racepace inspection.

Get it comp tested as well etc etc. Bit of a effort but its either 20-30k or $500

I recently had a full stateroads inspection for a NSW car, best $300 i'd spent as it stopped me from buying it and wasting my cash.

i recently did the same when dan @ elite racing development in qld inspected a car for me - it was a moneypit which could not be seen without a hoist

^ they dont have a serious website to match though lol

that is true. last time i was there a couple weeks back they had a few of the Vodka O cars (rebuilding the Mossler, Audi R8, and a couple of the Gallardo cars too). The time before that they had 3 r32 GTR's all fully caged race prepped machines, and some wicked looking time attack/GT looking Evo 6. So dont be discouraged by the lack of info in the website. It cant hurt to give them a call. Cheers

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
