Hi Everyone,

 

As per the sIMG_2591.thumb.JPG.0723146483ad97ae0d50da1319957348.JPGubject I have always wanted a nice R32 GTR. marriage, kids, house etc etc had always been in the way.

Had been looking at auction in Japan for ages but kept getting beaten at the post on nice cars. 

Ended up finding this car in Melbourne. Its not perfect but it is a pretty neat example. Genuine 68,000km. I have all the export docs showing kms in 2013, 2015 & 2017. Also has log books.

Thanks for reading. See all you Sydney siders at the GTR festival in May.

Stuart

So the saying goes, if you want a GT-R, you need to be able to afford two....so you can afford four?

Sweet looking ride. How does a "Tommy Kaira" differ from our garden variety money pits?

I’ve hardly driven it to be honest. Suspension is much stiffer, lifts the inside rear tyre just getting up the driveway. From what I’ve read all the shocks are swapped out with adjustables. Much more turbo noise. I’m going to take some serious photos around and underneath the car which I’ll share with the forum

Oh. I forgot the clutch and gearbox. Short shift is amazing. Just the tiniest click up and down to change gears. Miles shorter throw then the standard box. The clutch they have used is hard work. Almost old school brass button tough

Could have after-after-market parts on it (suspension, clutch, shifter) but yeah, would be good to see what differs from "vanilla" GT-Rs

It has a HKS exhaust. All the other bits are straight from the Tommy Kaira factory when it was built

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
