Hi all,

Just joined, so do forgive me if posting a 'hello' post is not allowed or if I'm doing this in the wrong section.

Anyway I joined as I'm a Sydney-sider looking to buy an R32 GT-R and (in addition to everything I've already read here) any advice is more than welcome.

I've also seen several cars for sale here but the threads have since gone cold, so I'm hoping to be around for the next one that pops up and grabs my attention.

Mechatronic engineer - F1 aficionado - former F3 mechanic - motorsport purist.

Cheers,

James.

Thanks gents,

Either is fine really but if modified (be it slightly or worked) it has to be clean with appropriate documentation.

Will primarily be a track car for a few outings per year but that doesn't mean I want to be doing any form of major rework (unless the price is right).

does it have to be a 32?

and a gtr?

mark is selling his 33, very cheap for what it is.

have seen it in the flesh, car is meticulous.

Doesn't need to be a 32, but I don't want a 33 (nothing personal, just don't like the look of them), and a 34 is most likely out of my budget so I'm left with 32. I do have a sweet spot for their look though, I must say.

GT-R is preferred, yes.

Sweet spot for the 32, that is.

Been playing with the idea of stepping into a 32gtr over the 34gtt.

Still early days and might not end up doing it.

Cheaper to modify by a long shot! Just get Benji to help you pick one :ph34r:

He'll be my #1 info source.

Good information isn't far away.

Yep I'll soon let you know the originality of the panel gaps, whether all the seams are in tact, which panels have copped a fresh lick of paint, and a quick look under the car will show whether the car has had structural damage etc.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      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.
