hi,

newbie from Ireland here. iv recently imported a 1993 r32 gtst (rb20det) from Japan via auction. the last few years iv spectated at the Irish drift championship events and seeing 32's galore really got me excited about getting my own. thankfully its not a daily driver for me and will be making some upgrades/ restoration work along the way. recently, iv found Amayama very useful and cost effective buying OEM parts such as trim ect. mine has seen quite a few kms - 250 thousand and showing signs of interior wear and tear. im replacing parts as I go and look forward to making it a good example.

its relatively standard with the only mods being-

apexi exhaust

badly installed radio

blitz boost gauge and vacuum lines

and what I think, is a GTR front bumper

piaa spotlights on front bumper

Few small reasons-

1 cost- insurance companies would laugh at me

2- I know a guy with an absolutely mint r32 gtr with a huge number of nismo  and  arc parts (will dig out photos) rotting away in a shed because he won’t drive it. Fear of someone damaging, fear of affecting his ‘investment’. I made up my mind that I wanted to enjoy my car and not be too worried about it. Gtst is a nice alternative and a good balance for me and still to me a legendary car.

3- rwd is extremely fun

Looks very clean and well maintained mate.

But seeing it's your dream car, may I ask why didn't you go for the GTR?

Shit man, there are other cars than the GTR. Not everyone is a level 11 fan boi.

No no, I respect all cars.

But the OP said dream car, so no disrespect, but why wouldn’t you dream all the way up to the GTR? 

Anyay, all cars and there are reasons for and against getting any variant but again, if we’re talking dream-level then the sky’s the limit.

Fair enough and all valid reasons. ?

Looks well kept & tidy. 

Have to agree with Robocop, dream all the way up to the top of the food chain!!! R33 GT-R is what you want, and just cause your mate doesnt drive his GTR doesn't mean you have to do the same! Nothing worse than NOT driving a car, things wear out!!!

Anyway, enjoy the car I'm sure it will be great fun but hopefully we see a GTR next to it soon.

This car looks amazing. Glad to hear you will be driving it around heaps. These cars are super rewarding to drive no matter what version you get. 

Would be keen to follow you as you make a few changes (you know you will... lol).  :D

I plan to keep a bit of a thread of updates and changes I make along the way with plenty of photos hopefully.

So you dislike AWD? And What is that?

Will you two dickheads, Rubber cock and Bukkake racer, lay off your fan boy shit, the guy has just purchased a car he likes and the first thing you do is knock it because its not a GTR.

Grow up.

If you choose to reply to me do it by PM, don't fill the thread with your self righteous vomit.

OP, if you wish to have your thread cleaned of non relevant posts, like this, contact a admin, they can clean it up for you.

There are a few tools on this forum, you now have met them both.

I wasn’t going to respond but you’ve twisted my words so I will.

As mentioned above, the op said this GTST is his “dream car” which begged the question why not go GTR if the sky’s the limit to which he has explained and I think his reasons made perfect sense. I also prefaced my comments saying that all cars are great so it wasn’t disrespectful in any shape or form.

What you have done is twisted others comment and added petrol to something necessarily and felt the need to attack others on a personal level which is both inappropriate and childish.

Go fly a kite or kick rocks if you’re so bored.

Here's a bit of advice for free. Stop talking about gtrs at every opportunity and you will find things will settle down.

I'm assuming in real lidlfe you aren't banging on about gtrs the whole time. Don't do it here.

Nothing wrong with talking about GTRs or any other car for that matter.

You seem to have an inferiority complex of some sorts as I never said or believe that only GTRs are great. As I’ve said, all cars are great in their own ways.

I think the OP gets it whereas you seem to not.

Man you are a genuine tool. Good on ya.

If the gtrs complete you I think you will find it is you with the inferiority complex.

anyway, you have a lot to learn about everything so I'll leave you be to figure out some important life lessons. Rethink choices, contemplate naval etc.

No need to reply. Just as per every other completely nonsensical arguing you have put forward it gets you, and everyone else, no where.

peace out. Go drive a gtr slowly around the place enjoying all that awd has to offer.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
