Motor comes out to do the clutch, gearbox is prone to braking 2 gear or just destroying it self.

Getting old and cost too much for their age, parts are hard to find and expencive, importers dont like bringing them in due to age and limited numbers now of good cars.

gr8 car. ive been lookin into gettin one just waitin for finance to settle itself out. that www.gtiroz.net website is useless as they are an owners club not an enthusiasts club and u can view bugger-all of their site.

Im budgetin to spend approx 16-18k on mine as thats what it takes for a decent one nowadays.

You can usualli find one locally for about the same price as importing one nowadays and the clutches/ brakes and maybe gearboxes are all upgraded for ya!!!

Especialli if your in the eastern states. otherwise if ur in perth/ WA forget about finding one locally.

POCKET ROCKETS..a good friend of mine has one ..done bugger all to it and got a 13.9 out of it..the clutch did get done in it this week and it was an engine out job..and the gearboxes are a bit of a let down in em..other than that sr20 turbo AWD quad throttle body standard, killer package..they have a steel compressor wheel turbo standard too so dont be scared to wind up the boost

One of my best mates owns one and I know the gearboxes are weak but ones you break something if you replace it appropriately it wont break again. He spent like 5k on a gearbox rebuild and its tough as now, will withstand some mighty power.

I love them to death and will probably get one after the r32 monster of mine lands :)

My best mate has one... he has had it for just over a year, and it has spent at least half of that time in the workshop. He's blown the stock turbo, two heavy duty clutches, and has had some suspension issues... and the latest, bearings on the gearbox input shaft are packin it in. Its a 92 model with just under 100,000km.

He just drives it too hard, and the turbo blew coz he was running 14psi through it, which was asking for trouble!

My opinion is that if you go easy on the drivetrain, then you should have a reliable car. Theres no need to worry bout the SR20, but when its making bigger power the stock gearbox/diffs/clutch starts to get a bit tired.

Great car in many respects tho... I considered getting one for a while :P

www.gtiroz.net good luck tryin to sign up though the mod shalom made an obstacle course..

i am an EX-owner of the pocket rocket RNN14..

great lil car. cheap as.. and the best SR20 factory engine ever. quad throttles r sweet.. prob with tunning as limited acum in plenum

when buying... get a 93-94model.(personal prefereance) nissan badge at front not P badge. basically if u blow ur gearbox or clutch its engine out. and the stock gearbox is basically a FWD box with a N/S transfer case for the rear tailshaft.. brakes are a bit undersized.. understeers alot due to being front heavy.. remove the front sway bar and get a whiteline rear sway bar... fixes it..

in a straightline ive blow away ferrari's evos STi'S GTR's. few grand on mods makes em quick. u can throw them into corners at high speeds get it sideways and come out on top. handles extremly good once u get the right suspension. very reliable apart from the gearbox but a par set will cost only AU$4000 and very worthwhile. good daily driver too. fairly spacious more than GTR. expect 350km per tank 45L.. and be aware that the thing is noisey.. timing chain solid hydo lifters.. tap tap tap.

my old GTiR had 160kwatw's (110kwatw stock). over 220kw at fly (175kw stock). it quite easially blow my new GTR away.

soon as u get ur's change ur front wheel bearings and exhast/dump and if u can slap on a FMIC the std tmic is good but heat soak takes a toll on ur launches..

Sold mine and got a GTR R32..it is a good upgrade but needs some money into her to make her worthy of the old GTiR..

GTiR was my first and a very good learning toy.. u'll be very happy with it.. it'll get u ready for the big toys.. im 17 and i already got my first GTR ahaha.. u learn from being scared

they r nicknamed.. mini Godzilla.

sold mine for $15000. excellent condition.. new owner did a few high launches and broke gearbox and something clutch related... foolish.

GTiRoz.net is an owners club yes. but u can log in as a guest and get valuable info on them. i guess u havent done ur research. that site is the best site on the GTiR.

do urself a favour and look up the site. u might learn something

      Shift Performance Ganador Reps

      By Lmic · Posted

      Came across these Ganador reps and am wondering if anyone has used these/come across these ?  Seem to look like reasonably good replicas (shape wise) from what I can see. Ive been told by them that they are moulded to be exact copies of original Ganadors (but thats what every replica version will say) https://www.shiftperformance.com.au/ganador-style-mirrors-suits-nissan-skyline-r33-gtr Photos of them installed appreciated Thanks 👍

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno.

      R34 GTT Wiring Harness Similarities

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser.

      Asking where to source parts

      By winc · Posted

      Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.
