i get my GTR tomorrow

[druzilla32]

well my GTR finally comes to my house tomorrow..

What should I do to it before i start it up etc?

I have heard that I should flush the oil and stuff..

Im going to go buy some stuff for it after it comes..

irridium plugs???

motul turbo lite 3000??

coolant..

is that all i should get? will those plugs and oil be alright?

its an 89 r32 gtr...

thanks

[blacky]

forget that, start her up first chance you get! Dont you wanna hear that baby purr??

but seriously, you've got the right idea, get fresh liquids/filters in all round, then enjoy.

Wow, where to start...

this thread of links in the maintenance forum would be a good first call. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=35442

A biggie that you may overlook in your haste to get "going" is to make sure there will be no problem stopping!!

i.e. CHECK BRAKE PADS and FLUSH BRAKE FLUID and bleed brakes.

Hope you have the finances to afford to run a GTR as well as buy it....

Congrats!!

Hopefully it turns out to be a good one too, nothing worse than a problematic GTR :Oops:

What color? Details? Price? Importer?

[druzilla32]

CUT AS!

i took the day off work so i could be here for when my car came.. and it didnt even come!

i called and apparently its coming tommorow morning now.

i went shopping tho.. bought some turbolight 4100 oil, set of iridium plugs, coolant, injector cleaner, radiator fluch, engine clean and an oil filter

[predator]

congrats anyhow..

just make sure it does *have* oil, has coolant, has brake fluid - then its more than likely you're not going to kill yourself or the car.

I still haven't done all the servicing for mine as it had the above. I figured if it was sitting there for 3-4 months going nowehere, another month of not being serviced going not going anywhere wouldn't matter. Its not like I can drive it anywhere at the moment anyhow.

I was just happy because I fiddled with everything, and everything *worked* (except the aircon... think gas). It's always those minor little things that don't work properly that give you the shits and can be hard to diagnose. That was the best part, knowing that it wasn't an obvious lemon

Colour?

Pics?

Anything we will be able to notice about it if seen around the streets?

[druzilla32]

i will have some pics up later..

it will either wear plates saying ZILAR or BZERK... havent decided yet.. (21LAR/82ERK)

gun metal grey.. just has an exhaust... soon it will be sitting very low on some coilovers.

Hey dru where bouts do you live?

I wouldnt mind having a look at the quality of 89 model GTRs

If you get a descent one its definately a good investment in terms of going fast/money

[Blitz]

Use Motul 300v over turbolight.

[knore]

Use Motul 300v over turbolight.

Amen.

I was going to say but everytime i do it gets lost in the conversation :wassup:

300V series 2 is THE best oil you can possibly buy for turbo engines in my opinion

[druzilla32]

ahhh dammit!

well the 4100 is still good from what i have heard.. i will use the 300v next time

i live at bracken ridge

WOOT! 5pm

get to go home and kiss the GTR!

druzilla32..

REPORT!!!!

[druzilla32]

lol...

its ***in awesome man..

so so so clean..

i think somebody unplugged the afm so that nobody could flog it before it got to me.. cuz i thouught mine was broken cuz it wouldnt hit boost.. its all good now...

i think i should have bought a battery the other day

had to keep starting it with a charger.. .

it came full of fresh oil, the paint is perfect, sounds great up to 4500rpm.. (thats all i took it too)

[druzilla32]

pics!

[pentae]

DRUZILLA THATS AWESOME!!

Interior pics?!

What auction grade was it, who did you import through, how much has it costed so far?

Those pics are inspirational.

Damn I really want mine now

[Parag0n]

very nice druzilla, i picked up mine on thursday, done alot of maintenance work to it already and replaced the clutch on the weekend.

here is a pic

[CalaisT3RBO]

Love at first sight!!!

The fun comes on at 4,500rpm

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

that is sweet man. I hope mines that clean when it arrives. although it would seem the most popular or common colour is GMG (mine too)

could we see some more pics, like interior and engine bay?

what mods did yours have when it arrived?
