Hi guys,
I currently own a 1993 R32 GTS-T Skyline and i love it but theres a few things that over the past year have just started to get to me.
First here is the specs of it:
Colour: White
Bodykit: GTR Front Bar/GTR Wing/Stock Skirts
Engine: RB20DET
Engine Mods: Apexi Pod, Z32 AFM, Greddy BOV, GTR FMIC, Apexi PowerFC ECU, Tomei fuel pump, Turbo timer
Power: Not sure havnt got it dynoed yet, my guess is around 150rwkw
Exhaust: 3"
Gearbox: Stock
Diff: 1.5 Way
Brakes: Cross-drilled and slotted discs
Suspension: Tomei Adjustable Coilovers + Front and rear Strut braces
Wheels: 17" LMGT Nismo
Interior: GTR Front and Rear Seats, Momo steering wheel
Other Mods: 3 electronic guages (boost, oil temp, exhaust temp) with holder. EL dash, gear knob, undercar neons (lol), and more stuff that i cant rememeber
Well I will list the 2 main things that are getting on my nerves:
1. Suspension - My roads around my area arnt very good so most of my drive feels like a mosh pit...well im over exagurrating but its just uncomfortable.
Now i expected this going from a VS S Pack commodore, but its just annoying now. Its just really rough and so stiff. I know this is because of the coilovers but I dont know how much different stock suspension actually is or if there might be something wrong.
Any bump you wouldnt feel in the VS you certainly feel it in the skyline, sometimes i wonder if theres even air in my tires (ive checked).
2. Low down power - Its so dead off the line, i hate having such a gutless car before boost. When its on boost its fine but when driving in general traffic i feel like i have to floor it for it to take off decently. Considering majority of my driving is on/off like that and usually at lower speeds (as its a daily driver more than anything else) it just doesnt seem to suit me.
And the cop attraction is pretty bad but that is also to be expected especially when I'm on my P's still for a few months.
Ive had a few fun ones like being told i cant drive my car because its a turbo (i live in victoria) and numerous (random license checks)
Now I know all the points are obvious and expected when I bought the car but I was seeing if other people don't seem to have these issues as bad as I do.
Ive considered even selling it and buying something like an Xr6 Turbo (a bit more practical) or if still wanted a skyline then a r32 gtr for the low down power problem.
Any advice?
