Good morning! thanks fella's, jesus, I kept dreaming of the GTR lastnight, it seams I have reverted back to being in my teens, I am obsessed, & like I said before, it's a piece of crap at the moment. Anyway, i'll check out Hills Motorsports today & the rest later on. @Paul, I wont be selling the commodore because my wife is friggen obsessed with it, not for long though, she has 2 points left on her licence. @Chris, Thanks mate, i'll give your name a work out with those guys at Hills Motorsport this morning. @topher, she is high, but I recon I am higher on her at the moment, I just can't believe how much fun turbo cars can be. Here are some daylight photos of her, I have even included some of the commy as well, shit I just swore again.

Hey you goen mate, it's pretty much stock other than an apexi exhaust, apexi boost controller, apexi air pod intakes, but like I said, I can't see how they have any performance enhancement capability, i went through 3 types of cold air intakes on the commodore & 3 times on the dyno for the official figures, all were real cold air intakes, we even tilted the radiator back to get as much cold air in as possible, Denis

Thanks Ken, nice to meet you, I will be visiting them tomorrow, I can't wait to start tinkering & learning what can & can't be done to the RB26.......... ONLY ONE SLEEP! Denis

Hey, what a friggen unbelievable car you have there, how the hell do you manage to part with it, I have only owned the r32 now for a day & a half & am already in love with it, & it is in crap condish too. No worries on the photo's, i'll take some tomorrow during the day, but here are some that i just took now, note: it's night time 10:00pm now. I just wanted to show you the state of this poor car, the bloke gutter ground each & every wheel, even the drivers side, I may get some money for them from my local metal recyclers. hey, & by the way, I may spot you one of these days, I live in Bella Vista. Just another thing, I have been told by many that the original GTR air intakes were better than any aftermarket intakes, sorry but I can't call them "cold" air intakes, as they don't suck cold air, or at least i can't see how they do. Denis

Thanks Terry, I sure will help out once I learn a bit about the skylines, I know alot about the new gen4 & ls3 Chev engines, but know little at the moment about the RB26, but I am learning as we speak. Thanks for the links, I'll check em out. Denis

Hi, just though I better say hello to all here, I am from Sydney & have just purchased my first turbo charged car, I am 35yo (I know, I know, I am going through a mid life crisis), anyway, I just purchased a rough as guts gunmetal grey (1994) GTR R32, a little worse for wear, but I will be spending some money on it to get it looking smik again. As a teenager, I loved these cars, but who could afford one then in 1990's, I have also got a 2008 VE SSV that I could not leave alone, I did the cam, exhaust, computer, CA intake, clutch & valve springs to produce on the dyno 332rwkw (449rwhp), the people that did the work say it should do somewhere in the 11's, who knows, havent had it at the creek yet. Back to the Skyline, I saw it in the papers & thought, man I still really like the looks of the original Godzila, so i rang the bloke up & asked him about it, I told him I had VE commodore with 332rwkw, he said the Skyline would beat it, I said I don't believe him, anyway, I went & had a look at it, it was really in bad nick, but anyway I took it for a drive, (remember! I have never driven an turbo charged car), it felt like riding a YZ 250 2 stroke trail bike with power band, I just fell in love with the turbo kicking in at around 3500 revs, what fun it was, it was more fun than driving the commy, I am not sure still weather the GTR would beat the SS, but it certainly would come close, needles to say, I bought it on the spot & am now facinated in Skylines, I have caught the disease & I want to fix the beast up, I like cars to be original, so i will be leaving the exterior factory, other than some nice rims, any Ideas on rim size? as I have no idea what fits & what dosent, my commy has 22's, I was told that 20's look good on the R32's. Anyway, thanks for letting me swear here (V8, commodore) & I would love to here some suggestions on wheel size, engine upgrades & how/where I can get interior bits & pieces to replace worn out & tired parts. The seats are good, other than the drivers seat which is ripped & I want a replacement one, the leather boots around the gear stick & handbreak are also in need of replacing. I would like to spend around $10,000 on the engine, where in Sydney would i go get some more horse power or rebuild done, who is the Gurru of the RB26, thanks to you all for your suggestions in advance.
