Well my car has changed a bit since I bought it in 2005. I bought it for a whopping 15k!!! and it's been the best car I've every owned. We've come a long way...

No plans on going anywhere or changing cars. Really the 32 GTSt (admitedly the 33 GTSt also) is one of the cheapest ways to get into motorsport. Even in standard form with a few mods they are bullet proof, relatively fast and easy to modify.

Im recently back on the 32 band wagon! Had a 32 gtst about 7 years ago, upgraded to a gtr.... since then, onevia, gtir, 180sx, another onevia, camry :D, mini clubman s, forester s edition.... now back to the 32 gtst for a weekend car... *read skid rig*

fitment on the rear looks real nice. How low is it on the rear?

I remember one of my first decas there was a sea of black 32s,

BigBird, Rylan, Sam and me. The black 32 brotherhood. These days it's only been me and Pat.

Rylan and Sam have disappeared.

haha black 32's represent!

wassup bitchiz?

haha hows your r32 doin? Last time i saw it (i think?) was when Rylan did that weird motorkhana in the grass/dirt!

You guys should band together and make R32 GTS-t hoodies :thumbsup:

haha, prob not enough people around to cover the costs :(

haha, im sure driver skill plays a lot into it too (for the r32 that is) :thumbsup:

Thanks for the build thread link, didnt know you had one. Havent thought about r34 GTT brakes before. Something you would do again?

Was expecting more new faces to post up! Its still the same ol' dinosaurs driving r32's haha

Yeah 34 GTT brakes are a great option. Would do it again for sure. Worked well even with the abuse I gave my car.

ah nice. Ive been eyeing these but they dont have any dust boots so a bit iffy on taking the plunge...

why? You mean dust boots around the pistons?

yeah, the wilwoods dont have them and the calipers were never ADR approved etc

Would prob have to get an engineers cert for them. However these brand new wilwoods are cheaper than 2nd hand r33 gtr brembos :domokun:

My G4's don't have dust covers but who cares if they're ADR approved. Just keep your standard ones if you have to change them back.

running grids as track rims?

LOL, no. Thet are genuine TE37s. Irs because the fronts are only +28 offset and rears +35 offset tht the look gay. They acrually grow on you, especially when you see all the JGTC with flat spokes that they kind of start to feel race spec cool :) (maybe)

fitment on the rear looks real nice. How low is it on the rear?

They are 17x9 +17 on the front and 17x10 +15 on the rear. Im running cusco zero's on the front and koni's on the rear. Not sure exactly how low they are in the rear.

I'm looking for some height adjustable coilovers to replace them though. needs more lowz..... :D

Anyone want a full set of lowered konis? or some cusco fronts?

Wish I was still part of this minority! Awesome cars, couldn't have asked for anything better in a first car. Having said that they're cheap as chips ATM, i might just get back into one next year after experiencing the joys/deep pockets of owning a GT-R.

Here she is in all her glory with my new baby; Damn I miss her :(

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
