  1. Hi all, My clutch pedal bracket has broken, as is known to be a weak point in the R32's. Looking for a replacement that I can get strengthened up and swap out so the car spends the least amount of time off road. Otherwise if you have a strengthened one already I can buy that off you. Located in Adelaide so local preferred, but will pay for post if it comes to it. Thanks
  2. I have a set of 4 with one that's cracked and needs repair, but other 3 are good. Some light gutter rash. PM me your phone number and I'll send some pics. Located in Adelaide. Thanks
  3. Nice work, and for very little outlay!
  4. Thanks for the feedback guys. I think I might do the basics and try once to see what happens. OK, given that this thread is about GTR prices, I'll try and put this back on topic a bit. What would you do if you were me: 1) Worst case spend say around $7K returning to stock and clearing the defect, then maybe keep the car for a bit and or sell 2) Bite the bullet now and sell it off overseas as is, saving myself the time and money of clearing the defect. Are overseas buyers interested in heavily modified cars? Can they get them registered easily? Cheers
  5. That's one option I'd explored already. There's a place in SA called Sinergy Motorsports that specialise in clearing defects and they're happy to source the motor and do the swap for me. I'm mechanically retarded, so would rely on a workshop to do the work. It would cost at least $5K to do all up. I'll keep an eye out for complete stock motors and see what turns up as this could make things a bit cheaper to do. Unfortunately the defect requires going through Regency inspection, which is a full inspection of the car. I guess it could be luck of the draw on the day. I guess I've had the car for over 10 years and I thought this might be a sign to finally move on from the car, but I'm not too up to date in terms of market pricing and what I should realistically be doing from a financial standpoint. Thanks for the feedback. Let's keep the discussion going!
  6. Hey guys, I just found this thread as I haven't been very active on SAU lately. I'm seeking some opinions and wanted to start a discussion as this relates to GTR pricing. I got defected a few months ago for having an exhaust that was too loud. My fault entirely - I knew it and was pretty much on borrowed time, but chose to run the risk anyway as it was pretty much a weekend car (if that). Long story short, I'll need to go through a full regency inspection to clear the defect. This is where my troubles begin. My car is quite heavily modified: RB26/30 Forged Internals Unknown cams Trust 100mm Drag Intercooler Vipec V44 1400cc Injectors 2 x E85 460Lph fuel pumps O/S Giken 5 speed O/S Giken triple plate Vcam - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/448677-new-rb26-vcam-in-let-setup-3000/ HKS GT2530's Tomei dumps R34GTR exhaust manifolds, port matched to turbos Unknown aftermarket 2x70mm into 80mm to meet up with the old AM Performance 4" exhaust Running on ~ 70% Ethanol content it achieved the attached figures. My dilemna is whether I clear the defect (looking at least $5K for labour to return to stock and then back again) and keep driving it around hoping I'll get my money back later on? Or should I just bite the bullet and sell it now and not spend any further money on it? I'd probably be looking at overseas markets - that way I don't have to worry about the defect. My car is a 1990 Gunmetal grey with ~120k kms on the chassis and the new engine barely run in. It's in pretty decent overall condition but is not a garage queen. Would appreciate your opinions guys. I have a daily so am happy to keep this car off the road for a while. Cheers
  7. Hi guys, Still on the lookout for an R32GTR passenger indicator assembly, or a set of aftermarket both sides. Thanks
  8. OK thanks mate!
  9. Hi guys, Just got defected on Friday and looks like I'll need a Regency suitable exhaust and at least rear suspension, possibly front and rear for an R32GTR. Please let me know if you have these and are willing to help out. Thanks
  10. WTB: R32 GTR Front passenger indicator, possibly driver's side as well. Let me know what you have! Thanks
  11. I'm interested in the modified twin turbo pipe. Is this one you did yourself or one of the group buy ones? How much posted to Adelaide? Thanks
  12. I'll take the seat trims thanks if they'll fit R32GTR. Please PM me details for pickup/meetup
  13. I bit the bullet and went ahead with it: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251820-got-over-400kw-atw/page-164#entry7633312 Have to sort out my clutch before I can wind the boost up again
  14. Finally got a print out of my old run so I can officially become a member of this club Two separate runs are different turbo setups. E85. Basic setup is: RB26/30 Forged Internals Unknown cams Trust 100mm Drag Intercooler Vipec V44 1400cc Injectors 2 x E85 460Lph fuel pumps O/S Giken 5 speed O/S Giken triple plate The Green line is my old setup. It had a slight exhaust manifold crack so there was a lot more these turbos, but I decided to go from lag to response. Blitz Twin KKK K27 Kit Cast manifolds 2 x external wastegates Custom 3" dumps to 4" AM Performance exhaust The red line is the below setup. Clutch is slipping when peak torque hits so I need a new clutch or a rebuild. Vcam - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/448677-new-rb26-vcam-in-let-setup-3000/ HKS GT2530's Tomei dumps R34GTR exhaust manifolds, port matched to turbos Unknown aftermarket 2x70mm into 80mm to meet up with the old AM Performance 4" exhaust Very happy with the response now. Been wound down to 15psi to preserve what's left of the clutch until I get it sorted
  15. Oops, should have looked up. NVM
  16. WTB R32GTR Air Conditioner bits My A/C was removed when I went to the twin high mounts (no room!) but am now going back to factory twin low mount setup and would like A/C again for the summer.... If anyone is wrecking their R32GTR or has all the A/C bits please let me know! Thanks
  17. Any other people have done this swap and have results? I'm still deliberating on these or a set of drop in cams. Thanks
  18. FS: SKY036 SA plates Sold my V36 sedan a while ago now and was hanging onto these in case I wanted to buy another V36, but don't think that's happening. $500
  19. I'm interested in the dumps, front pipe and exhaust manifolds as a package. Can you please PM me a price delivered to Adelaide?
  20. Anybody else got on of these on their car yet? I'm contemplating this kit to help wake up my twin Blitz KKK K-26 old school laggy turbos on a 26/30.
  21. Any luck on pics of exhaust? Thanks
  22. Any more details/measurements/pics on the exhaust? Thanks
  23. Hi there, I'm looking for a set of injectors and E85 fuel pump for an R32GTR making 363 awkw on 98 pump. Looking to make the step to E85. Any recommendations/pricing? Thanks
