Hey guys, ive decided to go for an r32gtr, and im mostly concerned about the handling characteristics of these cars.

Im hoping to get a stock gtr, maybe slightly tuned, then mod-heavy suspension on it, needing guidance on where to start....Ive heard the atessa system are interchangeable between the gtr models, and some say the 34 atessa upgrade is well worth it....?

Im not really going for alot of power with the gtr, as a stock car with exhaust/pod....will give me more than enough before i start to get serious, and i definitely want to go more track than drag:)

So speaking from experience, how do these r32 gtr's handle from factory???, and where can i improve in this department....these too have hicas,is that a big issue with the gtr's as it is with the gts-ts (like my r33:)

I'm not sure what you mean by grip driving, but GTRs can handle a track OK, they have raced a bit. And there is a good arguament that the 32 it the best of the lot being the lightest.

To get a GTR to handle you need:

Some nice shocks and springs, check out SydneyKid's group buy

Adjustable sway bars

New bushes, adjustable (they will be pretty worn out by now)

HICAS removal bar

Decent wheel alignment

ATESSA controller, it is too rear biased in the 32. 34 system is very hard to fit, the controller will give you everything you need

Good tyres (R Type).

Do all that and you will be ready for 1.10s at Wakefield or 1.20 at Oran Park GP :(

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
