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.

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

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
