G'day all,

I have been lurking around the forum here for a while now, reading and researching bits and pieces, and thought finally that I should create an account and contribute.

I am in the process of buying an R32 GTR, which is quite a change for me as I have been a V8 man my entire life. I am looking to start a bit of club level racing, and my beloved 6.0l SS just won't cut it around a race track!

Any who, looking forward to contributing to the club and learning a bit more about the 'dark side'.

Cheers,

Matt.

Thanks for the welcome, much appreciated,

Here is my current pride, my 2008 VE SS. Up for sale at the moment to make way for the GTR.

Although, the market is overflowing with these cars at the moment, so I'm not exactly fending people off with a stick... The longer it takes, the more convinced I become to keep the SS and just have the GTR in the shed too. My wife would throttle me though, I'm sure.

Hello,an welcome love the pick in your sig.

Come to the robbo cruise will be great fun. :action-smiley-069:

Hi Humbla, thanks! The robbo cruise? Is that the one on 15/9? I think I saw something on here about that, I'll hopefully have my GTR by then, so I may just come along. Thanks again.

Welcome. When you get the GTR and have had it for a while (novelty worn off) it would be great to hear your comparison with the VE. I agree with Luke, don't ask the missus just buy it. Feign ignorance of her disapproval and profit.

I'm looking forward to seeing the difference between the two. From driving the GTRs I have taken on test drives, I can already see that the SS has got much longer legs at top end, but the GTR seems to get up and boogie a little quicker. I'll have both cars for a period of time, so it'll be good to do a proper comparison.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
