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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
