Hey everyone just brought a r32 gtr new to the fourm thing to

and its dead stock nothing at all done to it ive been told its one of the cleanest in Aus

was shocked when i found it so stock still has restrictors in it.

Is it worth keeping it stock for future sale?

if not what are the best modifications to do?

rip the engine out, build a 3L motor, use your head, get a 6 boost made, bolt on a T51r, a fuel system to support e85, have PPG make you a dogbox, and go rip mega 4wd skids......

or keep it stock and park it in the shed.....

I bought my one stock like that too. Didn't last long!! Get some cam gears, nice exhaust with front pipes and 1 bar boost and it'll be a nice daily with about 230-240 rwkw, that's was my first stage of mods and never had a single issue. Plenty for a street car.

Next was turbos (steel wheel stockies) clutch, decat and tune with power fc. This got me 287rwkw and I haven't had an issue for over 4 years now, still going strong!!

But before I did any of this, I did a full major service and all fluids changed.

Hope this helps.

Major service and change all the oil in the car, good tyres and break pads

Then decide where to go from there mate...soo many different routes to take

this, make sure the car is healthy first then when you decide what you want for the car make a plan and try and stick to it, lol

This is what i did:

Do major service replacing all fluids engine, diffs, gearbox etc. Change timing belt, cam gears water pump.

I also changed the clutch because i knew i was gonna change the turbo's later.

Change the exhaust it if it doesn't have one. change the front pipe and cat at minimum.

If you still got money left over buy -7's or -9's.

Get a Nistune, power fc, Link or whatever your tuner prefers depending on your budget and get a tune.

At the end of the day you get keep the car stock but a stock GTR isn't that exciting.

DO the maintenance stuff first.

outside of 'standard servicing' items like fluids and the timing belt etc, you should change the oil pump. the oil pump is the most common major failure in those cars..

if your gonna do that think hard about what else you want to do as it would be best to do it all at once.

if you do decide you want to work it up (new turbos) prepare to spend 10 grand at a minimum. Not Kidding.

otherwise just put a dump back exhaust on it and drive it around lol happy days

Dude you don't have to break the pump to spin a bearing. They have oil control issues from factory which causes bearings to spin. Plus its an old engine with god knows how many km. Factory didn't do too well in that area.

Depends what oil pump drive you have too. If its a small shitty one then the crank has to come out to get a collar fitted. It ain't worth all this trouble on a standard motor. It's not as easy as just getting one and bolting it on. Different pumps out there to suit different applications. Best to talk to a workshop who specialise in rb motors.

Factory fixed their mistake with the late 32, 33 34 engines. Oil pump drive on the crank was too narrow, so they widened it.

Get a collar fitted to the crank or get a later model crank.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
