Hey SAU SA,

I have fulfilled one of my dreams to own a 32 GTR. I have bought Martin's (HOSTILE) GTR and couldnt be happier!!! :banana:

Awesome being a GTR owner, i have wanted one since i can remember!! Big ups and respect to Martin for being an absolute legend :thanks: and making the whole process easy and awesome and alowing me to purchase such a fine example of what GTR's should be. It is a sensational car mate, you can rest easy, she will be VERY well looked after.

Anybody see me around, I live in the hills (Lobethal) feel free to stop and say g'day. I work in Roxby Downs so i will only be back every 3 weeks so i will try and drive the zilla around as much as i can as well as get into cruises and other events SAUSA puts on.

Hope to get to know all of you other Skyline owners in the near future, and i i said before MASSIVE respect to Martin for his help!

Cheers all,

Matty

Props Matty, and welcome to the club

You'll find this place a great wealth of info, and having bought Martin's car I can attest that it is one of the best examples of GTR's out there. To most GTR owners who are new, I would say 'watch your wallet' but considering Martin already did that, I doubt you'll have much to worry about.

Enjoy!

-D

Yeah that would have been my missus coming through Woodside. Rego plate is SK....something!!:D

That was very hard to let it go today but she is an ex speedway racer so she should be fine!!

It has been put to bed for a couple of weeks until i return.

Anybody else live in the Hills on SAU??

Cheers

Matty

Welcome aboard Matt. I am glad it has gone to a good home....having serious GTR withdrawals at the moment!!

Yes guys I have kept the HOSTILE plates which will be fitted to my next ride. Matt will be able to put his own mark on the 32...

Welcome aboard Matty. You have seriously scored an awesome GTR mate. If i had the cash i would have bought that. Its a beast and sure Martin has/had looked after it well and spent heaps. There is a SAU:SA club that you can join up to as well mate.

Now won't be long till you get your hot pink 34 R Martin :P

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
