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!

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
