RTFGTR Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I picked up my R32 GTR today from Laverton It's been a while and I thank everyone who has given me some much needed advise over the last 3.5 months. THANK YOU. 9.00am - Vic Roads to pick up UVP 10.00am Laverton (TOLL) to pick up car.... 10.30am Leaving Laverton... battery was flat and stalled it turning onto Westgate Fwy...what a drama! Caused a road block for about 1km B4 someone gave me a jump. No air filters on so idel was a bit jumpy. Minimum fuel also! Fark it was an awsome drive. Handels like it's on rails (my first drive in any sort of GTR...weird) Played around with the boost a bit... did not take it over 5500 but even then it was kicking HARD (to me anyway) MISSING ITEMS: Missing horn from wheele, missing Nozmo gear nob. BONUS ITEM: Rims are super sweet, thought they were 17" from photos but they are 18" deep dish with 245/40 ZR rubber and good tread. HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY Will post some pics later...

predator Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 looks good.. was this the one you posted with shots in japan and was all dirty in the engine bay? and was meant to have had a "fresh" rebuild. Looks like they've cleaned it up a little since then. Anyhow, looks like a good buy.. enjoy!

I've got a week off work, so had the time and quite enjoyed giving it a 4hr clean today. Went through 1/4 can of de-greaser and about 10 rags just on the engine bay. Looks heaps better now.
