Edited by Madaz

haha is that a made up number? even if its a real number i dunno if its accurate considering i registered mine as a "skyline" and gtr isnt mentioned anywhere on the rego info (other than the chassis number)

i have one (32silver)

when i picked mine up at the docks there were about 8 other 32 gtr's there so i guess there are a fair few but i duno if they get driven around alot cos i have only ever seen 3 others on the roads while ive been driving mine (everyday driver)

in my opinion, it doesnt how many GTR's there are in Adel. get one because you want it not because someone has/hasnt got one.

agreed...

but i think he's wondering that he can go on GTR cruises

I am getting one this week (pending finance) im not asking for opinions on if i should get one or not i can make that decision myself, i was just wondering how many there were around in Adelaide its was as simple as that not weather i can go on GTR cruises or meet up with other GTR drivers, similar to the how many R34s there are in Adelaide thread.

Just been thinking about GTRs lately since i am most likely getting an R33 GTR next week, How many GTRs are in Adelaide of either R32, R33 and R34

just around my area Woodcroft (southern area) etc... in the last coulpe weeks i have seen a black r34 gtr v-spec driven by a guy in his 50's, a green r33 gtr, a gunmetal grey r32 gtr and most surprising a white r33 gtr with p's and vic plates! there seems to be a few floating around i would have 1 too if i could afford 1. go the GTR!!

Im at Morphett Vale and you will see a Midnight Purple R33 GTR around as of next week aswell, i havent seen the 34 Vspec might have to keep an eye out.

Thanks for the sensible replies keep them comming

i was so scared buying from a car yard with all the dodgey bro's arround the place

but i used to work for a car wholesaler years ago so i rang him and ask his opinion of him and he said he would do the righty by me ...which he did ;)

i also couldnt afford to waste money on a so many point check and after i bought it i took it to my mechanic Jim Nalder @ Everlast Mufflers and he saw it idle and took it for a drive and was very impressed with the way it idled and drove so that was a huge load off my mind

straight off the bat he say 2x exhaust studs and the oxy sensor needed fixing ... which the yard fixed ASAP and then within 2-3weeks my brakes went and they replaced the pads which i found out from MTA that they didnt have too

all in all ive been very happy :blink:

there a are heaps of gtr's around, by the way i have mentioned that old bloke the the 34 gtr before on here and no one has seen him. ;)

he was following me back from clarendon and pulled up at the bains lights and winds his window dowm and said g'day mate, i was like how you going.. :lol:

just look out for those flared gaurds and walla! GTR!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
