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.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
