You are chasing Ben Woosters R32 GTR and from the article in SPEED here, im pretty sure he's owned it for 4 years and did a total groud up rebuild.

On 1.7bar they are hoping for 350KW at the wheels, on 1.3bar it does 310KW and cuts 11.13sec qtr mile....

Heres a pic of it

the blue GTR i thought was a R33?? theo's R32GTR has had some work done to it now.. did anyone see him at the powerslide before the last one they had... blew up a turbo!! i was talking to one of the guys and they said that they had a T88 off a GTR that just came in the shop that they ripped off to put on Theo's car.. its running like 1.7 bar of boost or something.. new ( non-stock ) GTR gearbox. he's gone through 12 Stock GTR gearbox's in that car.

i got my clutch done this week at DIRECT CLUTCH and steve is the guy to talk to. Great place to get stuff done and he is very helpfull. Steve is on the pit team for Theo when he goes out to meets and stuff. so if you need a new clutch ring them and talk to Steve.

Gday Spooks,Robocop. Just spotted this, it was my car, never Theo's! Thought I'd broadcast the colour - Ford Blueprint. I've sold the car to a nice young guy in Tassy, he drove it home a few weeks back.... Now I want it back!!! Life's miserable without GTR!

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
