Hi all,

I've just joined SAU and being a Canberra girl I thought I should tell you about my car :happy:

It's an 89 R32 GT-R, Gunmetal grey, looks pretty stock apart from being lowered a bit and the HKS Super Drager exhaust sticking out the back (sorry, no pics yet).

Engine mods are:

R34 turbos

Z32 AFMs

700cc injectors

Trust filters (mushroom type... no good... gotta change)

Power FC w hand controller

Sard fuel pressure regulator

Sard fuel rail

Bosch 040 fuel pump

3.5in turbo back exhaust

Blitz boost bleed valve (definitely changing this for a decent boost controller)

Other mods:

Gab sports adjustable coilovers (might've been imported with these but they're not super super hard)

Custom clutch - 6 puck

I think that's about it... It's getting a bit over 280awkw on 17psi but was only tuned to 7000rpm for some reason. I bought the car mainly to have fun at track days and so will be putting money into making sure it's strong and able to take a bit of punishment though I'd love to build it to have 400kw eventually (dream, dream). Oil cooler, sump baffles, hi-flow cat and decent tune will be the first things, along with some 17s so I can run 255s, then probably upgrade intercooler and radiator.

Oh yeh, and get it engineered so I can change the rego over - it was engineered at some point (maybe on import?) but the certificate is not with either the previous owner or the one before that and I can't change the rego without one now because it's noted on the current rego papers. Wish I'd seen that one coming! Live and learn?

So that's my ride! I'm sure I'll meet some of you soon either out at the skid pan or out at Wakefield :D

hey guys,

my names mark havnt been on here for a while but tought i would update my new car. Ive had 3 180sx's a yellow/black one that was a very bad buy lol a champainge colored one which was stolen and burnt a while back and a white one which was also a bad/rushed buy. I've also had 2 r32's a black one and a maroon one.

ive now bought a 1990 mazda series 5 RX7 with qute alot of money spent on it specs are:

black

5speed manual

18x9 and 18x8 white wheels not sure exact make but look similar to driftteks i think there velocity?

fully rebuilt motor with a 12.7 mm extreme dowl kit, sdr unbreakable seals etc. has roughly 1500 km on it

t04s turbo on a sdr exhaust manifold with a turbosmart wastegate, and a screamer thinking of ditching that.

turbosmart fuel reg

1000cc injectors

microtech computer

bosch 044 ext fuel pump, 2litre surge tank, stock pump in tank.

heavy duty button clutch

and im sure alot more that ive forgotten

car made 357 hp at 18psi at south coast rotaries dyno

future plans include

get another gearbox/rebuild it

replace the sdr exhaust manifold with a custom one to make more power as the sdr manifold sits the wastegate in a bad spot making it hard to control boost should have made about 400 hp with the setup closer to 14psi but tuner couldnt control boost due to wastegate.

pics to come when i take some off it not sure if i can upload from phone?

thanks mark

Welcome Mark and Michael, Good cars with more mods to come.

Hope to see you out and about.

Mik - I may have a few parts you might like.

As you go along give me holler on the Cat and ECU. Not free but a good price none the less.

PS. I ditched full set of fmic piping with mandrel bends for an RB20DET about 4months ago pinch.gif

Off my old GTST

    • I'll bite. I no longer own any euro's, but I thought I'd share two of my favorites I owned. My 500hp B5 S4 and my 800HP E55 AMG. Yes I did attempt to drive the E55 in Canadian winters, that lasted all of a month as it was a death trap.   
    • To be fair this is the wife’s car. However, I have been accused of owning more cars than I have pairs of undies. Luckily I change my undies more frequently than the cars.
    • Cheers Lads Looking at changing up a few things maybe go 2.8lt, bigger injectors with more a modern Turbo. Possibly transbrake and convert to E85 with Haltech ECU. Any thoughts on those Mods changes or better ideas? Want to try keep the car Street/Strip While also being weekend drivable still.
