I like everything but the wheels.

And the lack of engine mods.

And maybe the colour.

... But aside from that, it's pretty cool.

is that about the time you were giggling like a girl? :nyaanyaa:

I thought he was always going that..?

I love going for hills run during work hours on a day off. there is nobody around.

but i wouldnt be too keen to go today with this wet weather.

starting to miss driving the GTR, havent driven it in 3 weeks. its getting the engine mounts changed and the fusable link replaced.

the fusable link is really starting to annoy me, it keeps slowly burning out. when i last drive it, the wire was hot to touch.

i think its because the link is pretty old and stuffed, hopefully it'll be able to put some charge into the battery soon!

yeah I used to hit up the hills in the rain on my bikes all the time, love it; sharpens your skills IMO.

hadnt driven the r32 rb26 since I picked it up after the rebuild a cple months ago - been fiddling with bonnet mounts etc for the blitz fpr bonnet (still not happy with fitment, but its nice & secure and wont be smashing over the roof, not like the original bonnet did Lol). damned sore knee (left) now though from the gears, got to say the Bride brix chair is pretty uncomfy.

Should be pretty impressive once tuned correctly, power comes on strong, handling is precise, and the brakes work a treat. Going to get a few hundred kms onto the engine then have the tune finished off, ready for mallala track days.

Can't wait to join you out there repping the 4 door 32's Tangles. My new track whore doesnt have a 26 in it, but a 20 with a bigger turbo - has alot more top-end power than the 25 in my other 32, so it should be fun.

top end power is shit.

i would kill to have a reponsive tourqy thing :(

I wish my 25 R32 had more topend, it all happens before 5.5k, hitting full boost at 2300rpm is all well and good, but when youve got an engine that wants to keep revving but is only doing a lot of huffing and puffing, well quite frankly it sucks lol.

The black R32 is so much faster in the twisties than when it had the RB20 it isnt even funny, but I could imagine on the track the 20 in the silver R32 would reel it in. Keep in mind Im comparing a stock 25 with 12 psi to a RB20 with a bigger turbo - unsure of specs just yet.

Then you need my highflow turbo Dion. Response is similar to stock but it keeps going up top unlike the stock ones. :D

Twin charge... Crank and exhaust driven boost... Something I would love to do but at the same time I'm glad my car is the way it is (max psi around 3600 also), I can comfortably drive it off boost and save fuel/ wear and tear. Besides, if I'm on boost in 2nd gear or above my license is also at risk :)

Bit of an EOI here for a good friend who wants to get rid of an r31.

It's an 88 gxe auto, running but no rego, just had service blah blah blah, would suit track build. White on black, if anyone is interested he said he wants 1350.

This guy spent 15k on another one and it is a gorgeous car (he loves 31's) so if anyone is interested pm me and I'll give you his number :) I'm considering it myself but I already spend enough on my 32 haha

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
