  1. hey mate. Just wanted to say great piece of work. Good info etc Finally got around to installing my PFC. Bloody S14 and their required wiring changes haha. Gets tuned next week hoorah!
  2. great thread. great pics. great stories. read it front to back. I can't wait to get back there (seriously considered moving there) NO autobachs pics? Here's some of mine, even though they're crap. AUTOBACHS IS HEAVEN these are the only ones I could really get before getting asked not to take photos. Prolly worried we'll see how much we get ripped off over here haha. (Nismo diff oil there = 28 bucks a litre... here.. you'll pay 80 +)
  3. well I work at inghams processing plant in cleveland (SEQ). there's a VERY nice looking 32 gtr (to my knowledge it had driver's side damage until a few weeks ago?) and it was under a cover. these days I see it, it's not covered and it's god damn hot. I am yet to get out of my car and look at it closely as I think it may come across as suss. but I admire it every time I come to work (I'm PM shift, annexe). If anyone knows who owns this, or the owner reads this. feel free to PM me or msn me : [email protected] I'm buying a gtr late this year or early next year and would love to chat about 32 GTR's as I hate not knowing things thanks.
  4. This question goes out to those 32 GTR owners who have experienced both a normal GTR and a V Spec GTR. (prefer it if you got to push both cars) Is it worth spending the extra cash and getting a V Spec model? The car will be daily driven (about a tank of fuel a week at the most) but the car will also be modified to suit circuit racing ( QR Sprints as well as some possible hill climb events and other various track days). Looking to upgrade power to about 300AWKW. I am aware that the V Spec's don't offer anything extra in the GO GO department (not like an N1 model might) but in terms of stopping and turning... is it worth it? Or would I be better off getting a GTR, upgrading the suspension and brakes and possibly the attessa if I can (I will be fitting an attessa controller anyway). Thanks guys.
  5. I am buying the GTR for a daily driver. It will probably see a week or more out of a tank of fuel (current tank last almost 2 weeks) as I live about 4mins drive to work (from stop to stop) and I don't tend to do much extra driving (work 6 days a week, 3pm to midnight or later, like to spend sunday's at home). However, I plan to participate in the Queensland Raceway Sprints and some other track days every now and then when time / money permits. Earn 1k a week after tax. Wanted a V Spec simply because I thought it would be better for track days. (and so I can go "yer it's a v spec " )
  6. ALL GTR'S ARE EXPENSIVE TO FIX. you should know that by now. as for the age. I'm getting a 94 model because like you I was slightly concerned with that. But seriously, anything old can be upgraded or replaced. If the interior gets tired, re trim it. If the body is in bad nic, re do it. Everything comes down to money.
  7. or get an attessa controller bluprint advantages the 32 has over the 33. stock, the 32 beats the 33 performance wise. obviously the 33 has slightly more responsive handling etc due to steering upgrades etc. but the 33 interior is a bit, disappointing really. I have been looking at both recently and read many reviews. They say out of all 3 gtr's, the 32 is the most chuckable, and it's also the most fun to drive out of all 3. Match that with good prices, great performance, the best looks IMO (34's rank second just because they're so aggressive but I think they are too big) and the ability to pop the fuse (if you want) then you have a great car. Attessa controllers to disable the front drive on 33's and 34's CAN be expensive, but I would view it as an investment to greater handling at the same time as you could then tweak the 4WD better and create a better handling car for road / circuit use. GO THE 32 I am.
  8. group buy - we can all chip in. and maybe if we got 365 of us to chip in. we could each drive the car for one day a year
  9. i am completely with stink. I'm looking to import late this year (perhaps it can be my xmas present to myself ). And so far I think that I will most likely get the importers to find a car for me over in japan and ship it over vs picking one from a yard. They have a 32 GTR V spec coming in late this month and i'm going for a look at that. Might see if I can take it for a little drive (they're in an industrial estate) to see if I actually like the way a 32 drives ( as if I won't) haha. Importing is a major risk. But I don't recommend buying privately. Buying from a yard means higher prices alot of the time.
  10. THANKYOU. and yes, what were you doing in the 32? haha. thanks for clearing that up though mate
  11. riiiiiiiiiiiiight.... that page tells me that the v spec weighs 20kg more, has 17" wheels, has a bigger turning circle, grew 1.5cm in exterior height and somehow lost a metre of interior length lol
  12. hmm yes and I went in there and there seemed to be alot of dead links. someone must be able to just tell me the obvious difference.
  13. Please inform me of the differences between a normal 32 GTR and the V Spec Models AFAIK - the V spec (from memory, which is bad) had something slightly different concerning the sump perhaps and maybe the diffs? Victory Spec is all I remember Thanks for the info guys. I'm looking at importing a 93-94 GTR and have considered getting a V Spec simply because I know there is less of them and therefore the resale may not be so shithouse. (not that I plan to sell).
  14. I ended up just going through the same grommet that carries the bonnet release cable. Had to stab a little out to make it a slightly more comfy fit ran it behind the accelerator then forwards under the dash to the other side of the car and to the back (PVC PIPING COMES IN HANDY WHEN GETTING FROM CABIN TO BOOT). it all runs OK.
  15. looks to me like someone was doing skids and his tyre decided to get revenge on his car.
