Hello i am Mike, i am 19 years and coming from the Netherlands, and i am the proud owner of a 1991 red r32 gtst, i like gaming ofcourse :P, and watching way to much Anime, further do i like to be busy with cars ( especially JDM ones and the r32 as my all time favorite :) ) So you can guess that buying one was a dream come true for me.

But stil did i buy it with some work to be done to get it on the road again ( dutch rules once a year youre car has a test if everything is allright, I think youre country has that to right)

If you have questions ask them :P,

So here some pictures

This is how the car was 2 years ago nothing changed except that some moron owned it which f**ked the car more up then fixing it.

My family is in Zwolle, Uncle and his wife and 3 cousins.

Visited them in 2009, was such a rad time.

My Opa lived in a place I can't spell... Leeuwarden sounds familiar... There were canals there if that helps! Ahahaha.

Can honestly say I didn't see one skyline over there..

btw: there arent many skylines driving in the winter here, thats because they throw salt on the road if it begins to freeze.

run exhaust straight onto ground, melt ice.

if salted, just hose it down underneath when you get home.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
