Didn't see turbos in the mods list, seems odd to run standard turbos after spending that much on the engine..

Any idea where it was built?

he probably ran out of patience and time haha. I do remember him mentioning new turbo's but never got a boost controller

Was rebuilt by ReCustoms

Ah yeah now I remember. It was sitting at RE for a very long time. It was there when mine went in for the build and still in the back corner when I left with mine

haha he made sure it was built right and didnt rush them. So it sat around most of the time and still does after the rebuild.

I want a r32 gtr now... haha

Surely you guys remember 386s before Celerons...I'm not the oldest here! 25mhz and 33mhz on turbo mode, 8mb (upgraded to!), 420mb hard drive...CD ROM with Sound Blaster!

I loved the turbo button. My first real computer of my own though was a Celeron 133mhz. Then I built computers for a number of years and moderated a huge AMD forum.

True story lol

Sounds alright, might have to head to the sticks for a test drive

That blue GTR is a lot of car for 27k.. much prefer to buy that than a stock 32 GTR. Duno how my mate managed to sell his stocker for 20k.. dash bubble and all :P

If i were buying again I'd deff get a modded one straight up

Lol the turbo button... with it on the pc runs at normal speed, and off makes it run at half speed

Ron's GTR had pair of GT-SS in 2.8, now, it has pair of -5s, Nismo AFM and large-ish injectors and a re-tune by Sabbadin from memory.

I know cos he sold the GT-SS to me last year when I'd killed my standard turbos.

And $24k, f**king hell!

Depends on budget Dezz.

I know a very very clean 32 that's in the 30k region.

In the same league as this car. Both the above, and below, are Racepace built with perfecto bodywork

    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.  
    • Welcome Adam. Car looks great!
    • "With a 1.5-WAY, the LSD is effective only during acceleration."
    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
