dave123456789 r32 gtr

Been meaning to make a thread on this for a while. Story goes like this..

 

I have been wanting a R32 GTR for as long as I can remember, was always the dream car to have since my younger days when everyone had gtsts and gt4 skylines. I had been saving furiously for a few years trying to have a crack at the property market so had some money sitting idle, the pine for a gtr started to get stronger and stronger then one day I just went for it. I had not long turned 30 so thought of it as a present to myself. After a bit of a hunt this is what I ended up with.

 

Originally wanted a black one or that dark grey they come out in but after seeing white in the flesh I was sold. Also had to be a 1994 model as I wanted the latest one you can get.

 

1994 Nissan Skyline GTR

82,000ks

Tomei type A cams 264

Adjustable cam gears (no name brand and not dialled in yet)

Aftermarket fuel pump

Mines ECU

Straight through exhaust with 1 rear muffler

Apexi induction kit

Lowering springs on bilstein shocks

Cusco 2way LSD

Stock turbos at stock boost (10-11psi)

N1 side skirts, rear end caps and headlights.

Tomei gear knob my lovely lady got me for Christmas as previous one was the only thing I hated about the car

 

So far have only changed the wheels, still working out which route to go with the turbo chargers. I sold my Evo 5 so freed up some extra coins for this. Here's some pictures

Nice car.

You will need an aftermarket ECU (e.g. Link, Haltech) and watch this:

 

Hey mate.

Still unsure if I am going to take the plunge and crank heaps more power out of it. For now it looks the part, sounds awesome and is quick enough for the streets. Im not planning on tracking this. I did manage to do a 13.108 at 108mph down the 1/4mile with this setup. Few more pounds of boost pressure and I could have probably cracked a 12.

Looking mighty neat! Loving the choice of wheels.

Cheers mate. They are 18x9.5 -15 BBS RS replica wheels. fit good and didn't even need to roll the guards at this height with 265/35 tires. So they are not the real deal but look good. Still trying to work out what color to change the centre bit to, thinking a dark grey or a dark bronze/gold.

Sounds like the same wheel combo as a mate of mine. Sits nice!

Yep I love the look of those wheels.

 

Any idea where he got the centre caps? Are those replicas also? Cheers

I think you mean +15 :P. They look awesome, perfect sizes/offset for R32 GT-R.

Haha my bad. Im used to oldschool rwd Toyotas where everything decent is in negative offset.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
