Hey Guys,

Been a member here for a year or so - when I was hunting around some information on R32's, SAU was the obvious choice to expand my knowledge.

I am coming to this automotive realm from the happy, innocent and quite often sheltered life of Honda's. One of those things you don't realise how 'retarded' your car views have become until you step away. I will say however owning Honda's has made me appreciate even the slightest increase in power, and at the same time I've become fastidious with cleaning, maintaining and adoring even the most basic of cars.

So to bring this thread to the present, I have decided to take a plunge out of the unknown and begin my love and adoration for GTR's, in particular the R32. I have always planned on owning one, but to be honest I thought at the age of 24, this would still be a couple years off. Thankfully, Ive returned from O/S with some experiences and cash still in the back pocket.

In particular, I am looking for a very clean, mostly original, and tight R32 GTR V-Spec. Something a little special that I can hold onto and cheerish till my children can then appreciate a fine 'group a' inspired production car.

Please let me know if you are aware of any vehicle that meets this very broad description, very keen to start my journey.

Thanks for having a read :)

Here is just a little picture of my daily, which I sold before leaving for Canada last year

welcome.

you know exactly what you want, this is great.

Unfortunately, finding a mostly unmodified one, in good nick, in v spec is getting hard.

and also a little pricey.

but, if youre willing to wait, im sure you will find yourself in the right time and place situation.

either way, good luck with the hunt, and post pics when acquired.

love my 32s....

Thanks Luke!

I would like to think I know what I want, but its becoming quite obvious that Nissans for me are an entirely new game of ball.

Whats your thoughts in just importing a R32, instead of sourcing locally?

id look locally.

then you can inspect the car in person.

with importing, you rely on someone elses word.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
