Alright, I'm curious to see how a stock R32 reacts to sliding so I'll gradually add mods as needed. This is how I think my priority list should look. I don't plan on buying everything at once or back-to-back so I'll see what the car tells me and upgrade as when I need to. 1) LSD - I'll probably get a 2-way diff as I'll use the GTS-T on the street and welds aren't daily driver friendly. 2) Sways- Adjustable only. I think Whiteline is the only company that makes adjustable sways for the Skyline. 3) Tie Rods - I'll be driving a '89 GTS-T so I'll probably buy whole replacement rods as opposed to just the spacers. 4) Harness (with stock seats) - Cassbo's suggestion. I'll try that first. 5)Clutch- A durable clutch 6) E-Brake- A durability to the E-brake (or upgrade) 7) Tires/Wheels- Brand New sticky tires up front and decent brand new tires for the rear. Extra wheels (maybe). 8) HICAS/ABS- Remove HICAS and/or ABS. I have my eyes on these: http://www.splparts.com/chassis-Z32.html#SPLHCKZ32 9) Suspension- Coilovers and supporting suspension parts. 10)Engine- PS cooler and more HP.

So far so good. How much power you going for in the engine?

Sorry, didn't notice your question.... I didn't get an email notification. Actually, I've since decided to get the Z bumper. As a matter of fact, I'll grab the whole Z-tune set minus the sideskirts. I'm even looking at a CF trunk and spoiler.

subscribed. What do you recommend for a 89 RB26? I want a min of 500whp.

subscribed for later purchase. (^_^)

Where can someone purchase a good OUTDOOR car cover?

Sold it?

PM-R33, any updates? I'm still debating if I should get a V spec or V spec II R34. I heard that the ALSD is terrible for road racing though.

I misunderstood your post. Thanks for the info

Yo, man. Ever wonder why I bumped a 6 month thread? Perhaps, SAU search didn't find @#$% and Google told me to come here. Do you have links to those 'many' threads? Regards, Bigalow

I apologize for thread jacking. It it possible to fit a R32 GTR front to a R32 GTS-T (hood, bumper, and air splitter)?

^ ^ Thanks, bud. I've read the advertisements but how much difference does the Ztune bumper make? Honestly, I feel that the stock bumper with a few fabricated sheets (to channel the air) would be as good and whole lot cheaper. The Ztune hood is CF and that's fine but I prefer the hood with the NACA ducts. Probably the only Ztune parts I would buy are the fenders. As a matter of fact, my setup would almost be like that white 34-R above minus the Ztune bumper.

I'm sorry for this stupid question but whats the difference between stock R34 front bumper and ZTune? Google shows that they look identical.

In it for the updates

This topic is epic but I gotta go. I'll save this for later. sub'd.

In for the updates. BTW N1GTR, you do realize that only grandmother's use Unix?

Cool, Im in but give me 24 hours per my flight time

I see, thanks. I think I have to look at this situation in terms of spring rates first and catelog parts second.

Thanks. My buddy bought some Konis for his Civic and they were defective from the factory. I hope that was just an isolated incidence.

People say to stay away from jap dampers? That because those people race their GTR? I'll probably just grip the 32-R on the track initially to get a feel for the handling but I doubt I'll do much driving and/or racing in 2-3 years. I'm looking at this package from Nismo: http://www.rhdjapan.com/nismo-s-tune-suspension-system-stabilizer-set-bnr32-bcnr33-bnr34-56105 I think it fits my cateria of subtley changes from stock yet good handling. I'll look into blind_elk's advice a little more but, like I said, I don't like using lowering springs... but I've never owned a GTR so who am I to dispute ya'll advice? BTW, this is going to be an R32.4 that I'll take back to the states with me. Hence, comfort instead of stiffness. http://cali34.blogspot.com/ It'll planning on buying a silvia or GTS-T that I can mess around with and keep the GTR relatively clean.

BTW, thanks, I didn't know that. Do you think a 255/40 all around is better?

Thanks. LOL, I know I can't expect BMW-type comfort but the main reason why I say 'comfort' is because of my Z33. All the bushings in that car have been replaced with solid bushing and the coilovers are Tein monoflex which are stiff. That car is great on the track but poop on the street. I want aftermarket parts that will feel 'stock' as much as possible. What do you think about a coilover setup? Shocks and lowering springs are fine but I want the flexibility of changing ride height, etc in the future. I'm looking at the basic tein coilovers. Basically, I'm looking for racing parts that will afford me the opporunity to mess wtih my ride height as well as keeping the ride quality as stock as possible. Of course, bud. I'll more than likely track it a few times just to check it's handling dynamics but, In all honestly, I've been turned off about racing the GTR. I'll treat more as a daily and/or touring instead.

Initially I decided to buy a R32 GTR for racing purposes but after spending a few weeks on this site and reading a plethora of 'track builds,' I decided not to track my future 32-R. Basically too many problems with reliability and I plan on having the car for a very long time. So now my intention for my future GTR is more for comfort, touring and perhaps a little showing off during meets. I want the GTR to be lowered but not crazy lowered. I'm just trying to eliminate space with the tire. I'll probably be running 18" LMGT4s with a 235/35 255/35 tire setup. I would like to increase comfort as opposed to a stiff racing setup. I'm using monoflexs on a Z33 and I love them but a good track car is a terrible street car. My overall goal is to have the ride as comfortable as possible with aftermarket coilovers. I'm not a fan of lowering springs so I'll probably not go that route. Also, I have my eye on the Nismo suspension kit as I noticed that all the parts use rubber instead of solid steal bushings. Any suggestion on components to accomplish my goal?

I'm not sure if that was directed towards me but I'm still very undecided on what to get. I was thinking about the Scion FR-S but Subbie's version, the BRZ, has been anounced. The BRZ > FR-S IMO... but honestly, who knows what set of keys will fall in my lap in the fututre.
