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

Brendan

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??

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).

Cheers

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

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

Brendan

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

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.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
