whats the right price, i have someone with cash looking for a gtr

Cash mmmmmm I love cash hahaha........ I wouldnt accept anything less than 40,000 cash for it as it is. I just spent 8 grand on extra parts not shown on car (brembos, drag cooler, defi gauges etc etc etc, two tone bmw leather etc.

Sorry mate I was only playing with Wreckedhead, didn't mean to offend every R32 driver on the forum

LOL, none taken. I was being serious, it really is the sleekest shaped car I've ever owned. Whether it's boxy to others or not doesn't worry me! Once again, none taken.

Anyway, on the go or show front, the motor comes out tonight. Hopefully 350 at the rears once we finish. :wassup:

will post pics of the new 20in wheels. looks crazy for anyone looking to buy wheels, 20s are your best choice.

Yeah, fully :uhh:

I dont understand how people cant see the appeal of 20's.

Shit ride quality, totally impractical, hellishly expensive rubber.................but the chicks dig it right?

I hope you got a free Tempe Tyres sticker with your new wheel hotness!

What sort of slicks, semi slicks, drag radials or drag cross-plys can you get for 20inch rims? Apart from being able to run massive brakes that would have the power to rip your face off, I don't get it if the tyres can't keep up with the brakes?

Did you change the ring and pinion to compensate for the larger rolling diameter? I know you've posted about being relatively fast around a track and at the drags - have the larger rims changed the suspension settings much?

Yeah I'm stupid and don't get alot of things ><

suspension was adjustable, didnt change the ride hight at all, feels exactly the same as 18s. i got nittos tyres on the wheels now, some cross drag radial. they are actually a very good tyre. i didnt change any rings or pinions to compensate for the larger diameter, the speedo is still the same.

but as you must know doughboy the wheels are just for show, at the drags ill have a set of 17 or 16in slicks .

Obviously you have a lot experiance with 20in wheels blitz, "Shit ride quality" ( dont think so its as shit as an 18in wheel) "totally impractical"( not really how practical are 18s or 19s. same shit really)"hellishly expensive rubber" ( its the same as any 18 or 19 in rubber) so i think you got a few things wrong, and for the chicks part, your 100percent right.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
