hey everyone.

just decided to stop by the NSW forum to say hello and introduce myself.

i'm just a fellow car enthusiast looking to communicate with some Aussies in regard to automobiles. more specifically, the ones made by Japanese manufacturers.

i'm basically here to seek out answers in regard to the so-called "Gojira" that i've never seen in my life.

is it really that ULTIMATE?

is it really that GOOD?

is it really that BAD-ASS?

or does it just seem this way to me because it's not available in the market here?

i had an interesting debate with some of my friends the other night over a coffee. we were debating about the validity of this so-called "mythical car" that is only readily available overseas.

i already know that reading specifications of a car on paper cannot equal what it's like to actually drive it. so how about some of you give me a few comparisons to other high-end Japanese cars? like, does it really WHOOP the competition? or is it just as good as the competition?

Its good because of how adaptable it is to whatever condition its put in... its just a great all round car. Fun to drive on the street, with under $500 of mods you can safely take it on the track, as once claimed... "its like a playstation2 on 4 wheels".

With the right mods and right bank balance you can whoop the competition in any car. Its just more fun in a GTR :D For us its not so mythical as it is for you guys since we possibly see one every day. I hate how the guys in the US degrade it with neons and NAWs, but meh, what can you do.

Its the pinnacle of development for Nissan, just like the RX7 was for Mazda, and Supra was for Toyota. It has heritage and prestige, it has an aura, a stance... retspec.

Yes

Yes

Mate, if you come to australia, send me a PM and I'll take you for a drive and you can decide for yourself.

Richard

G'day mate, welcome aboard.

Which part of Canadia, I mean Canada, do you reside? Can you send me some Granville Island beer for me?

You do relise that there is going to be some idiot who's going to say "can you say ABOUT for me" or "Have you been attacked by a bear" or "Do moose drive convertibles because of the antlers?". To that idiot, I have saved you the trouble.

Once again, welcome aboard mate.

Ben

save yourself the trip to Australia... www.gtrcanada.com few guys have imported 1989 R32 GTR's into canada, hook up with them and get em to take you for a spin around the local track... then make up your mind :D

J-spec's organised a few R32 GTR's to Canada, from memory one of em went to Vancouver and another to Toronto.

G'day mate, welcome aboard.

hahaha...i won't send any granville, but i can send a labatt..LMAO

oh, to answer your question..i live in a smaller city called Kitchener-Waterloo (it's actually 2 cities joined together) with a population of about 300,000.

it's about a 100km (technically 99km) drive southwest of Toronto.

J-spec's organised a few R32 GTR's to Canada, from memory one of em went to Vancouver and another to Toronto.

yes, i've heard about those 2 GTR's that made it to Canada. one of them is supposedly in Waterloo...hahahaha.

they were trying to sell it before it had actually arrived. they were asking about 30k CAD. i dont think i'd want to own a RHD vehicle here though, cops would hassle me too much.

can you say ABOUT for me? 

have you been attacked by a bear? 

Do moose drive convertibles because of the antlers?

ABOUT ? just so you know, i don't say "A-BOOT" LOL

no, i've never been attacked by a bear..never even seen one before.

and as for the moose thing...LMAO, i dont know if they drive convertibles, but to tell you honestly, i never saw a moose until i was like 20 years old.

Nostalgic-Wanderer is the typical Altima/Bluebird owner in Canada likely to be a "friend of Dorothy" like they are here?

i have no clue wtf that means...HAHAHAHA.

oh yah btw guys..

for comparison purposes..

how does an R32 GTR stack up against an Series VI FD3S RX-7 ? i would like a comparison from someone who's driven both cars..because i've driven an FD before and fell in love with the car. too bad i can't afford one, so i drive an FC instead =P

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
