I had a great night at wsid last night even though I only got 3 runs in before being told to get a super street license. I was driving the Midnight Purple R32 GTR with ZILLA plates.

My times were:

12.036 @ 114.05 mph, 1.858 (60')

11.981 @ 115.81 mph, 1.858

11.946 @ 113.34 mph, 1.822

I achieved these times using average quality and condition street tyres and running the car in full street trim including same boost I use on the street (19psi).

Some mods include:

R34 N1 Turbos

PFC

Twin plate clutch

Happy to now own a TRUE 11 second street car !! :D:(

Hi BU5TER, yeah i live not far from steves shop and i was getting some work done on my old pintara when i noticed your car there. Your motor looks very impressive, cant wait to see it run. Had a good chat to Steve about it.

un_majstk, I cant realy tell u what it cost as most of performance gear was already on the car when I bought it. I have spent most of my time and effort painting it.

I was there but can't remember a midnight purple gtr... did you run up against a gunmetal grey r32 gtr (which I think blew an IC pipe on 1 run) ?

Yes quite a few r32's there on wed nite including 1 that was for sale:

1992 R32 GTR

'HKSGTR' nsw plates

~160,000km (not aware of any rebuilds and had the car for 2yrs)

Gunmetal Grey (2wk old respray)

PWR Radiator

Splitfire Coils

Std FMIC (with HKS written all over it)

PowerFC + H/C

A few gauges

~360rwkw

~$30k

Aftermarket rims

Redline engine/gearbox/diff oils

Very neat inside and out

0402772703 if anybody wants to call him

It was his first time there with the gtr, his best from memory was 12.0 and was doing pretty consistent 12.4's @ 110mph with very average launches (1.8-1.9 but bogging down).

The VL had a set of brand new tyres and the driver wasn't going to stop until either the engine or the tyres blew. The Nissan engine did well. :rofl: Definitely the longest burnout I have ever seen. It was done in memory of his younger brother who passed away at 16 last month.

If you didnt see me that may be because I was finished all 3 of my runs by about 7.15, so we then parked the car and sat and watched. Didnt want to buy the super street license as I achieved my aim for the night and iam a bit short on cash atm.

ECR033, yeah mph was a bit down on last run. I think this may be because I hit the limiter in first. I gave it a few more revs on that launch and it surprised me how quick 2nd gear was needed.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
