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

    • Welcome to the site. Any more pics? That colour is gorgeous.
    • I didn't even know that existed!!! Amazing, good work Andy at Haltech! A bit off topic here, but I actually met Andy at a Aus Lancer car meet at the old Shell Space Station in Ryde back in 2003 or so. He brought out this aluminium case and showed everyone this basic circuit and said he was making an ECU that was capable of using closed loop to self tune. Most of the people there dismissed his idea.
    • I actually was using 4D tables with my old AEM WMI system. I'm now using "Water Injection Advanced" under engine functions to control my WMI. The timing and fuel corrections are easier to use as they have WMI in mind. Example, my fuel correction is based on my WMI solenoid duty cycle, they also included built in timers to delay corrections before and after spraying, timers to ramp up pulse width, etc.   
    • Just a thought, how come you didn't use a 4D table? So you essentially run 2x fuel and 2x ignition tables, and the table/map switch is handled when there's enough WMI pressure detected. This is mine, but using the flex sensor as the 4th dimension, note the slider at the bottom. Between 0 to 70%, the timing is blended/interpolated , once it goes past 70% ethanol full send
    • Hi guys, after dreaming of owning a JDM legend for 20 years, I got the chance to buy a 1995 R33 GTR.  I live in a small country called the Solomon Islands which is in the pacific. There is no performance car scene here, however 90% of vehicles here are 2nd hand Japanese imports so there is a handful of JDM sports cars here, tucked away.  3 Evo VI’s, 1 180sx turbo, 2 GTO’s, 1 R32 GTR and 2 R33 GTR’s.    Only 1 Evo and a 33 (mine) are active. I’m hoping to set up a club to get these cars back in the road.    I’d known of my GTR for 9 years and always dreamed of owning it. At the start of this year I found it sitting outside a workshop waiting for a respray. It was in pretty bad shape, although running and driving perfectly apart from a big exhaust leak and worn out bushings. My brother in law who is a huge GTR guy came over for a holiday and I took him to see it, he got into my ear and I bought the car 2 weeks later as is.   I’ve had a pretty bad problem with alcohol and weed since 2020 and I really wanted to quit. So I used this as my motivation. I quit everything cold turkey and have been investing all my spare time into restoring this car. It’s honestly been the best experience and has been such a positive impact on my life.  There is no market for these cars here, no parts and no mechanics that can work on them, so if you wanted to sell one it would be pretty impossible unless you found the right buyer. After a bit of negotiating with the previous owner (a good friend) I got the car for $15,000 AUD ($85,000 SBD) which is insane.  I’ve almost finished doing a refresh on the engine, new turbos, spark plugs and split fire coil packs. Also new gaskets and seals, This car had no leaks to begin with, but it’s due now being 30 years old. . Next I’ll be working on the suspension, all new bushings, ball joints, king pins and new coil overs.  Then it will be body work, it has really bad rust in the boot floor, I have purchased a rear beaver cut from my bro which will replace the rusted out one. The car is originally KL0, but was burnt orange when it landed here, then it was resprayed toxic green and then Bayside Blue. I’m probably going to get it redone in Bayside Blue.  I’m super grateful to be able to enjoy this car and couldn’t have done it without my bro Chris from OG-JDM. Looking forward to the future with this car and hoping to get it on the runway at the airport here 😂  cheers fellas
