This is a good thread for potential GTR owners....buy a GTR, then budget the cost of purchase for onging maintenace/upgrades/surprises. Still beats playing golf for kicks though!

Hope everything is progressing well.....very keen on updates!

What dumps are you running??

standard dumps

Standard Dumps???

I Cant believe you went to the trouble of changing out turbos, fabricating custom front pipes & exhuast and then left the biggest restricting factor in the system on there...

Not sure if anyone else has suggested but if they are the cast ones...they are only good as paper weights, get a set of the stainless R34 GTR Dumps at a minimum...

Watching this space!!!

I made 340rwkw @ 18psi through stock R33 GTR dumps without a problem at all.

Put on Tomei ones when i put on -5s (compared to other -5 setups using stock dumps, same spec built engines/dyno), the only difference... The exhaust note sounded different. So probably not the best $600 I'd ever spent.

thanks for yuor honesty! I actually sold my tomei dump and manifold before even using them, used R34 one and r34 ported manifold instead.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
