Find my old R32 GTS-4 "TURB06"  I put $50K+ into it - Although a RB20 it also had RB26 possibilities as per import VIN - lost track of it 15 years ago after selling for $11K in perfect condition...  😞 😞

Ooo that’d be ace. I sold my previous GTS4 for $8k - had an HKS 2530 and some tasteful mods. Still spewing about it. I should’ve kept it.

Always seems like the right thing to do at the time.....  but most of us seem to regret it later on by many peoples posts. I certainly do with the much modded GTS-4 out of all the cars I have sold including my Merc CLK AMG55, 996 Turbo Porsche, Bmw 6, but I have kept my most loved, 1969 AMC Javelin and 82 Mits Starion I have passed on to my son recently for his teen son. Will be keeping the Audi TTRS for a while though!

I'd love a neat 32 as a daily... but the count is 2 attempts to steal my car. Makes me nervous leaving them anywhere these days

 

I want to find a rough ex drift shell song can go race in Super TT with Ryan in his 370Z

 

Keep the GTSt, I have spare Racepace Tein RAs, RB20 Power FC. HKS 80mm exhaust that I can almost give you...lol all these parts are why I want a daily GTSt

Could never daily a 32. So easy to pull the window back and open the door. I only take mine where I’ll always have line of sight visibility - which is a bit sad. Plus my SQ5 goes faster and makes more power than a stock GTR so I daily that - with seat warmers and massagers.

I’ve got a full GTR front swap and so many spare bits for a 32 in the garage that I just never got around to selling - looking for a fixer upper to put them all on. The ones in oz are too expensive for what they are and the ones in Japan are too bottom of the barrel.

Soooo I may have purchased another car from NZ :D

It has Nissan motorsport pedigree... and if I like it, I might be selling the 32 (or my Golf) to buy another one to take IPRA racing.

For some reason the photos aren't loading...?!

Seller is holding the car for me with a deposit until I can fly back to Auckland to check it out.

It’s a 2L Nissan AWD ;)

Navara? :P

If it's a Bluebird, I might throw up in my mouth a little.

Close. Not quite. You’re on the right track. It’s a super obscure car that not many people in Australia own or would’ve even heard of.

A hint: it was developed to dominate a gaijin racing championship.

Huh, a racing spec Primera? :O 

Brings back memories from Toca Race Driver. Love pretty much all those touring cars. Though I thought they were FWD so maybe not.

Winner winner chicken dinner!

an Autech P11 Primera AWD wagon with a CVT and more importantly an SR20VE.

I’ll drive it around for a bit and see if I like it, and look at getting a FWD sedan to go BTCC inspired build and to get seat time in IPRA and Super sprints under the 2L NA class.

Soit needs more turbo, and more manual. Either that or a few spare packs of rubber bands?

I’ll drive it a bit but there’s an Audi RS3 DSG kit available for it if I want to go all out - or GTiR box

From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 

Yeah, hard to find and a pain in the ass to change with the transverse engine. I’ve worked on a GTiR before and it’s not a job I’d ever want to do again.

theres a company in South Africa that makes RS3 gearbox adaptors for the AWD SR20 including gearbox mounts, so I could modernise it and go a dual clutch with paddles.

For now tho, it ticks all the boxes. Super cheap, can throw the kids and their junk in the back, and SR20 that I can turbo cheaply, a CVT that’s not a dog’s breakfast like the V35, and has 80% interchangeable parts with stuff I can source from the wreckers cheaply…. But it’s still unique. I love the wagon back of the Autech version.

It’s cheap enough that I can buy another stock manual FWD Primera with SR20VE, swap the gearbox to the N15 pulsar short gear ratio box, swap out the brakes to the R32 ones I pulled off my 32, register it on club plates and take it racing. $1300 shipping from NZ. Heaps of parts and aftermarket builders for transverse SR20’s in NZ.

They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
