New R32 'R on the road

[VSPEC32]

Well, I wasn't expecting to be posting this so soon after selling my last one (R32 V-spec), but here I am. We picked up another R32 GT-R yesterday from C-Red. It will predominantly be driven by my wife (with kids in the back), so if you see a red wine coloured R32 GT-R with Buddy Club P1's (Hypergold) on it, give her a wave. Number plates are VSPEC32.

She's on fairly stock condition at the moment, with the only mods being K&N filters, Exhaust and a couple of Nismo turbines. Power is a little low at this point because the turbs are only running at 0.5 bar and they probably only start working well around 1.0 bar. The P1's are brand new 17x9's with some basic (but new) Nankang 255 section rubber.

Keep an eye out for this one over the next couple of years. Plans include PFC and associated Apexi EBC. Brake upgrade (I'm wishing for some Brembos as were on my last one), suspension, clutch, pump and injectors.

Anyway, keep an eye out and say g'day.

Cheers

Have you still got the old plates that you used to have? VSPEC32

can't go wrong with the wine red colour hey Brendan! .....Skyzer even though he has a 32 he can be part of our sexy red line gang :-)

Wind those advanced turbo puppies up and gimme a dyno reading! :uh-huh:

Is there much of a cabin size difference between the silvia and the 32 GTR?

Pics??

[VSPEC32]

Yep, brought the plates out of storage and put onto the 'R. The cabin size is considerably bigger (mainly length) than the Silvia. And the boot's a little bigger too. Had basic pics taken yesterday, will post up once I get them (mate took them).

Hi Brenden,

I was at the Silvia club cruise last night, the purple R33 GTR. VERY Nice ride man.. I was sure I had seen those plates on a Gun metal grey 32 before. Sorry I didn't get a chance to come and say hi.

My girlfriend was stoked when you turned up with the baby seats in the back and the missus driving, I've been telling her for ages they are great family cars and you just proved it last night!!!! ha ha ha

Will introduce myself next time I see ya.

Brett

[VSPEC32]

G'day Brett. Nice to meet you. Glad to help out the missus see the light. The grey/blue one you saw the plates on was my old 'R I sold last year. Was costing me too much. This one was bought as a replacement to a Camry Wagon, which although a good car, we (or I) wanted to get back into an 'R. The wife is very happy with it too. I must say though that a 4-door is definitely a requirement for kiddies until they're walking and able to climb up into their own chairs. This is mainly due to the child seat needing to be put in upright and not in the lay down position for infants. We did try that once or twice in the old 'R, but the front passenger was a long way forward.

You can check out my previous 'R on my web site (see sig).

Cheers

Hey brendan and brett, i saw both ya cars last night at the silvia cruise, both looked awesome

i was riding with a few friends in there silvias cos didnt think my gtst would be very welcome there, but i shoulda bought it i guess

[APA]

Lets see some pics of tha beast!

can't wait till i'm old enough to get into a R

stoopid insurance companies

ahh well single turbo is better then none!

[skyzerr33]

Congrats

seen the pics on c-red site before lovely car.

where u tempted by the vspec R32 he has there or has that sold already?

and of course another Red Devil is always welcome.

[VSPEC32]

Tempted? Of course, who wouldn't be. But a little too far out of the price range. We weren't originally going to get another R for some time, but the opportunity came up and we took it.

[deesh]

saw it last night too, very nice car. Panel and paint looks really good, nice rims and tyres, are you sure you want to give such a nice car to someone else to drive?

[VSPEC32]

Here's a few preliminary photos before getting some in a nice locale.

Cheers

Brendan

[VSPEC32]

Thanks Gav

I think Mat P was looking at going for a small cruze on Sunday so maybe you can come along. We'll be putting the family in th back and going for sure.

Cheers

brendan?

brendan underwood?

was ur car the one that was in Speed.. as the V Spec 32 GTR...

[VSPEC32]

Yep, that'd be me. That was a top car which now resides in your home town of Melbourne. Pretty much showroom condition with the right amount of mods. Unfortunately is was just costing way too much (being a rare and top quality V-spec). This one now will be modded a fair amount over the next few years (along side my Silvia). Having the Nismo turbos already in makes it just bolt-on parts now to get the best out of 'em.

Cheers

Brendan

[Mr. Oizo]

yeah.. from the reading.. it seemed like a top car.. now i want a GTR too...

[VSPEC32]

Well they're coming down in price and most just need a good tidy up to get into top condition. This red one has a few small dents and a little paint work required (door mirrors are quite bad), but it's cheap to have small dents removed and basic painting done and worth it when the car looks the goods. I did have some problems with one of the AFM's, but that's fixed now. Of course a future mod will be to go to Z32 AFM's to help the turbos breath well, but that won't be until the PFC and BC are in.
