Just wondering if anyone has any information on the R32 GTR Tommy Kaira.

I just purchased one through an auction in Japan and from the details I have it is genuine. I would just like a little more info

if anyone has knowledge of them. Originally wanted a GTR (standard) but when I saw this I jumped on it.

Thanks in advance.

I have a few pics. I will try and add them but only new on here so see how we go. From what I can see from the info I have the only thing it doesn't have is the Recaro seats and the Tommy wheels.

Just want any info on them. What mods they came out with, how many made etc.

Judging from the photos, it looks pretty legit to me.

A list of General Mods from the Tommy Kaira Factory should consist of

Factory options:

Pearl Paint - Greyish Blue Pearl (Your car is Silver)

Tommy Kaira - Gauge clusters

Tommy Kaira - 300km/h speedo

Tommy Kaira - Recaro Seats

Tommy Kaira - Interior mats

Tommy Kaira - Gear knob

Tommy Kaira - Steering Wheel

Tommy Kaira - 17' Polished Alloy Wheels on Yokohama Neova tires

Tommy Kaira - Rear spoiler with adjustable lip

Tommy Kaira - Front Bumper

Tommy Kaira - Grille and Grille spats

Tommy Kaira - Strut Brace

Tommy Kaira - Panel Filter

Tommy Kaira - Valve Cover

Tommy Kaira - Steel Turbine Upgrade

Tommy Kaira - ECU

Tommy Kaira - Magnetic Intercooler Coils

Tommy Kaira - Quick Shift Kit

Kakimoto 3' Nur Spec Exhaust (serial number and coded made for Tommy Kaira customers)

^^ Similar to your R32 GTR which is for sale in the UK and is where the info I got, is from.

Yeah the car is silver but I have found some info from kaira that would suggest that the model came out not only in the blue grey pearl but silver also. It has everything mentioned, still has the floor mats, exhaust etc but as mentioned doesnt have the

wheels or Recaro seats. I guess the only way to really know is contact Tommy Kaira themselves. Not overly concerned as I payed what I wanted to pay on a standard GTR anyway.

Good luck trying to get in contact with Tommy Kaira. Ive been trying for the last 6 months with no answer. I own a R33 GTR

Id like to know the difference between a R spec and an RL spec.

If your in Adelaide would make for a good photo shoot.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
