If so he has had that car for more than a year now!!!

and has used it on the track numerous times.

LOL... About 6 months ago I was going past Phillip and that silver R32 GTR pull out of the car yard and he gave it a bit. Then when he saw me putting along in my GTS-t he gave it heaps, and I mean HEAPS.

Now I'm not sure if it was cold or what, but the amount of black smoke that came out of the exhaust was amazing. It looked like the Batmobile there was so much smoke!!!!

all gtr's either 32, 33, or 34 blow black smoke when hammering (i know i own one) the rb26 motor u could say is similar to a rotary engine by that i mean they love to rev the more it revs the more it burns oil thus u get the black smoke out the back, it's normal u just gotta check the oil and change it regularly.:D

Whytry,

Well I'd have to disagree with you on this. I have owned

a 97 33 GTR-V for 2 1/2 years and currently drive a 92 32

GTR and in all the time I have owned them neither blew

copious amounts of black smoke under load and by that

I mean dancing on the red line. especially the 33.

:)

Neither were heavily modified thou! and when you

start playing with the computers etc they tend to

run pretty rich to protect the engine this adds to the

black smoke "stealth" effect :D

ohh and if your oil is cold any car will blow weed! but

I do know that the silver 32 in phillip is a heavy smoker

all the time!!!

R,

Adrian

neergnevets -

Well I got into a R32 GTR and let me tell you.. they are small and tight.... obviously designed for Japanese in mind...a lot smaller than my Mx6.

The R33 is a lot bigger and roomier inside. Even the more open dash plan makes it feel larger. This seems like it was taking into account they may be exported to the rest of the world.

So it's back to the R33 for me... will have to save some more!

I sold my MX-6 yesterday! I had to drive it to the buyers

house, so I went straight form the GTR (32) to the Mazda.

I honestly didn't think that their was that much difference? I guess if you've got a sunroof in the MX-6 open you could stick

ya head out!!! :)

Is anyone interested in a track day?

    • 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.
