Anyone Else Struggle With The Practicality Of Owning A Gtr?


Recommended Posts

A stock GTR isn't a race car.

if you look at the history of the GTR (R32) you know it's a street legal race car, also what does the RB mean in RB26DETT?

with a GTR i can race on Sunday then drive to work on Monday.

this too. This is where u do like Charlie did and buy a daily for that sorta stuff. U didn't buy a racecar to turn it into a defeated old nag 0.o

the thing is, i enjoy a fast, practical, and affordable daily.

the GTR does it all for me. And with roof racks, they'll be even better. Those you can mount when you need it and take it off when you don't.

Its still a car to me..

what's a touring car.?

oh, you said touring not two ring? Touring cars are generally 'family' cars, as opposed to 'performance' cars. There isn't much distinction though.

Onto the topic, I love having a GTR as a daily. Still hasn't fully sunken in that I finally own one, I forget to feel superior when I go past 'plain old' GTS-Ts >_>

It isn't really any less/more practical than any sports/touring car, anything with *go* is going to be impractical for some things.

But dude... GTR... :D

saw lots of people using suction cup mount roof racks in europe while i was there for their skis/snowbaords

When they came out weren't they classified as a "Japanese supercar"? By this day and age / standards I agree though its a sports car but still a very quick one at that.

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
