Just bought myself an R32 GTR (on P plates.. durrrrr), she's in the garage now, but here's pics. Previously had two R32 Type M GTS-T's. Nothing compares to sitting in the GTR though - it feels alive and so much more... intimidating - even when it is off.

Big end gone, tossing up an RB30 block build, or finding an RB26 bottom end and dropping it in.

I have nicknamed her "Moth."

Why you ask?

'Cause that's all that's left in my wallet now. lol

Living in Hornsby, had it on the street with no plates for a day - nine auto salvage business cards on the windscreen within the morning.

Never doing that again.. hahaha

Ah well - let the game begin...

I restored the Key by painting the "R" in blood clear red, then scouring it down the key length with scotchbrite, leaves a nice machined look I reckon. Don't like shiny for some reason. (I know, is cracked a can of sads...)

Was sold on here by Member - "Moving on". Happy purchase, he was as honest and decent as anyone I could hope for.

And the Purchase made us both happy, but I think he's a tad upset.

But at least I ain't pulling it to bits for the money.

Unlike some of you vultures out there...

Herro Alex, I do know you're from round here too just never seen ya!

Look in the skyline's spotted thread.

My post shows all the ones I see here in hornsby, just from work. lol


I saw that onevia (Black one? Gold rims, massive camber) too, and a SilEighty.

the sileighty is red, real clean, with bronze LMGT4s. I think similar to mine, only comes out to play on weekends.

the onevia is purple with lots of stickers on the rear windscreen, massive camber and drift wheels (bbs fronts and ...something else rears?)

so...you work saturdays at bob jane?

Anyone here know the delete list for a street legal GTR?

No aircon, etc.

easiest way to free up space.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
