R32 GTR?

Hi all, I was an active member here 10 years ago, had an R32 GTR, loved that car, did basic bolt on mods, made 300awkw, best car I've ever owned! Got a good offer on it so let it go, i know the new owner, he took it straight to CRD and threw 20k at it. Got a proper built motor now, anyway, I've been cruising around in a supercharged LS3 R8, it goes well with bucket loads of torque in the lower rev range but doesn't have that same 'rush' you get from a well tuned GTR ?

So ive been trolling car sales looking st what's around and keeping an eye on prices. Ideally I'd like to get back into a 32, I liked the GUN metal grey one in ACT but it's sold. 

Anyway I'll be keeping an eye on the for sale section on here!

Thanks short circuit, I'm going to the GTR festival tomorrow going to have a look around and will make a decision if I'm going to 100% commit to this. I just got access to my old account and going through the threads I forgot how often I was fixing things on the car.
But still for me it's the best drivers car I have driven and I really miss it. A couple of mates also just got back into GTR's one bought a 32 and the other got a 34, now I want back the in. If I go ahead my budget will be 35-40k so should be able to pick up a reasonable 32 for that money.
There was one on Carsales, a grey 32 that was built by racepace, but it's sold, that's what I want, hopefully next time something pops up I'll be in a position to buy.

Well, I found a car and brought it home last week. I think it's the best purchase I have ever made, I absolutely love this thing. It's a 1992 R32 GTR which has had a 26/30 conversion and was built with quality parts, the car has been put together exceptionally well and drives like a dream, and to top this off I have almost enough spares to build another car. I have been putting together a list of what I intend to do which is why I started this thread, it's not really a build though more a 'adding my personal touch' to the car. It started today with a thorougher clean, wash and hit with polish, I was going to also wax but I'm not quite happy yet so will add another couple of coats to really smooth off the finish before I wax it.
It did though come up a treat and looks magnificent. I'll add my list later in the thread as I'm going to go and stare at it now [emoji16]

Once I had the $$ it was full steam ahead, couldn't stand the empty space in my life and garage [emoji16]
I kept a diary of all the cars I enquired/looked at, it's actually quite a long list. But couldn't be happier with my purchase.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
