I would be looking at pre-booking.... Unlike the indoor shows there is a shitload of space at SMSP so i doubt it would sell out....

My cousin imported a white R32 GTR from Japan around 2005

He took me for a drive in it years ago and I remember getting thrown back in the seat due to slingshot like acceleration! This is what originally got me into imports.

Anyway, had look at some old pics of it and the chassis looked CLEAN AS and straight...

Talked to my cousin a few months ago and he had sold it to some bloke and it is sitting unused.

So going to give my cousin a call later on to get him to find out if the guy wants to sell it. Obviously I'd have to convince my dad to buy the car and it would have to pass a vigorous panel/chassis rail inspection from the panel gap professor aka me....but there is potential to get it for a BARGAIN price.

STFU Benji!

You Wicked Wing! :P

:woot:

benji you ain't buying a gtr now your trolling fs threads that don't even exist?!

just kidding let us know what happens

Giving my cousin a ring tomorrow night, and going to ask him if he could contact the guy he sold it to to see if he'd be interested in selling....

:yes:

Just really hope the freakin chassis is straight, immaculate and rust-free. My cousin said when he sold it it was really nice and had no accident history. ..but that could have changed! On the negative side if its been sitting for ages itll cost a fair bit to get back into good mechanical running condition....but then again thats an opportunity for a lowball offer to be accepted and a gtr to be in my driveway (slightly managed to convince my dad that itd be a great car for him to own given how he's retiring soon and should re-ignite his car hobby =D).

Inb4 I get a job paying well once I finish uni and transform it into a 800ps R32 GT-R wangan monster equipped with HKS V-Cam Pro and a T51R Kai

:woot:

There he goes again with the over active imagination.

Bish, you POOR!

Get a job! Work, earn, save, buy a home. Then think about toys.

Otherwise I'm going to confiscate the keys to the Tokyo two young men wanking s15

    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • 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?”
