Hi All,

Long time lurker and occasional poster - so ive been out of cars for a few years and did the whole grown up thing, got married, became a home owner and now starting a family. The 32 GTR has been one of those cars that I have had plastered on my wall as a kid and always dreamed about. its finally at the point where its old enough that it is easy to afford. Sure there are newer and faster cars but this has always been my favorite.

I havent done much since i bought it apart from a good service. im really just tiding it up for the interim and have some plans later down the track.

Car is relatively standard, basic bolt ons but stock ecu and injectors. Have raced it at wsid and got a baseline, 12.5 @ 111mph. Thought it would be quicker although the clutch didnt like launches over 5k. this resulted in a pretty ordinary 1.9 60ft. Consdering the mph there isnt much more i can shave off the time but i will return after more engine mods.

interior needs some work. chasing down bits as we speak.

for some reason the carpet was all cut up when i bought the car. i took a punt and bought black carpet. i think i like it. i might have to make the boot trims black now.

Anyway, might catch some of you around. definitely some nice rides here!

Received a package from platnium racing. Definitely a quality piece of gear. Everything packaged really well and fits like a glove. I removed the stock r35 coil stalks and fitted the prp ones. Bracket

Looks like a pretty clean example, good to see theres still a few left.

Curious as to where you got the carpet from? My boot carpet has also been hacked up. I look forward to seeing what you have planned for it!

i couldnt bring myself to pay the prices a wrecker was asking for a rag with 20 years worth of stains. considering i spend enough time there, i found Bunnings carries automotive/marine carpet. its not the thickest of stuff but it cost me about $25 and it was easy to cut to size. im happy with the way it looks!

It does.look good. It must be ok if you have already taken it to wsid and you didn't spin a bearing.

Anyway congrats and enjoy the passion and working on it.

:thumbsup:

haha yeah no 2nd/3rd gear burn outs being awd. i figure it could take a few gears at redline though. if it couldnt motor would be on the way out anyway haha. some of my runs were pretty close together. im guessing due to the excessive heat/use my clutch didnt like 6500rpm launches. runs were mostly consistent all night though. will go back out when i make more power!!

Congrats on the purchase mate, car looks great.

Not to mention a very nice wheel and colour combination.

Hopefully will see more of yourself and the car at some upcoming events and meets :)

thanks for the kind words. definitely want to get out and about with it. doesnt get driven no where near enough as it should!

My brother still hasnt stopped regretting selling that lol

i was wondering when you'd chime in :P hes got good taste. its only going to get better tho!

It came from a good home and it's gone to one too. everything is always for sale by the way.... and your brother was a tough man to bargain with! :P

beautiful car.

those BBS or are they Work Vs-xx wheels? they look like work wheels i used to have on my bmw few years ago

They are in fact work vsxx in 18x10. The offset would be in the 20s somewhere at a guess. The stickers have worn off lol

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
