Hey Boys,

I have bought an R32 GTSt Sedan a couple of weeks ago from the mainland, and i'm currently waiting to get it complied.

I've been trying to think where would be a good place to go for a cruise to get used to the way she handles and that sort of thing.

Where does everyone like to go cruising? Keeping in mind that i live in hobart.

Timmyb :P

Who are you kidding biatch, the only way you will know how that thing handles is when you hand the key's over too me for a lash :headspin:

I'll tell ya some good spots man offline and then i'll hook ya up out at the track so you can take it for a lash at basky if ya want :)

Well GrandmasterB, i think the closest you'll get to driving my car, is if i've died and you had to drive me to the morgue. :)

I'm sure we can work something out though. (with locations that is)

I'd be interested in a cruise with ya tim. few hours at basky would be good also as I havn't been out there yet.

Yeah man, we'll have to go for a cruise when i get it on the road JaFF. I'm praying that the seat belts come in today, so i can get the car to Griffo and get it complianced. Then i'll be a happy boy.

It's no good having it sitting there in that garage and not being able to drive it. :P

The Huon Highway isn't a bad stretch of road when it's not soaking wet... Hey mate I have a R32 sedan also, its a GTS-4 tho so will handle quite a bit different to yours. Would be nice to compare them.

Dude we may have to get together one day and have a look over them. See what we can see.

I'm sure a cruise day will have to be organised soon for all us skyline boys. Maybe a BBQ somewhere.

Well just for the record, my house is increasing in value and i doubt the car is....

So when are you going to get a car that is actually yours?? Always a bridesmaid never a bride. :Oops:

Like i said, drive it like you stole it dude. And after the shiat fight with the last one i built i think i'll just get the van and pimp that out for now??? Nothing over the top, maybe just a mid mounting 454 big block with a blower :flamed:

You shouldn't make fun of bloke like that anyway dude, you could give a guy a complex or something :headspin:

grasstree hill is a great drive...lots of twistes and the road condition is good

Bwahahahahaha i can't believe i heard grass tree and good road condition in the same sentence. Obviously never been over it on a bike hey Timbo, one small lack of concentration and it will :kick: straight in the nuts. You want twisty's thats always satisfiying go and buy the chips, you want a stretch of road that is like drving at the track then let me know :)

thats why I said good condition...good isn't excellent...there are better roads but grasstree is still a great hill for *Edited by Slaz*

Don't see your point here....One small lack of concentration in a car and you will be ****ed but thats what makes it fun...if you can't concentrate when you drive then catch a bus

If you think grasstress is bad then take a drive up to colebrook one day...great winding road but its bump steer city

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
