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.

in summer a/c is gooood.

easiest way to free up space.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
