Item:17 x 8 rims and tyres, 35 offset Age: 18 months Condition:Rims, very good (a few stone chips,but never been offroad or damaged) tyres 50%. Dunlop M1, 235s Price:$1000 To Fit:R32 GTR (maybe GTS? not sure on that) Location:Warrandyte Victoria Contact:Drew 0419 502920 or drew@stomp.com.au Comments:These tyres have been used on about 8 tarmac rally stages (all in the wet except for 1) Rims undamaged, would be good for a spare set of track rims for someone and will get another 1 or 2 track days out of the tyres.

Yeah, he wasnt thrilled, we passed him twice in the first two stages of the first day before we all got reseeded, he was good about it and moved over though.......a few of our vids are on http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=89GTR

Thanks, there are a few vids on our Youtube page too......http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=89GTR

Not as much fun as a targa style event like Rally Tas becasue you are on the same bit of road, but fun none the less. Mt Buller is a pretty challenging piece of road (especially the last event!) and the Lake Mountain course really suits a GTR with higher average speeds. The car is set up to Tarmac Rally Specs, we have had the full 'end of event' scrutineering a couple of times and they are on the lookout (or maybe surpirsed an 89 GTR is up the front of the field!), so it is not worth trying to sneak big mods through.

I was running 17 x 9 til the end of 07, although now I need to got o 17 x8 's so we will run them this year. I ran 17 x 8's in the wet and the dry in 07 and to be honest there wasnt no change in our speed. Yep, stanard air box.

Our 89 GTR Tarmac Rally spec, the last event was the illfated Mt Buller Nov 07 where we finished 11th outright, also got a 3rd outright at Lake Mountain last year and fastest outright stage time. Off to Rally Tas next month. A pic of our car slipping past a WRX at Buller Jan 07. Our car with me and the co driver/financial controller/brains of the operation

I certainly agree with everything Allan says, and can confirm the conditions on the first two days were the worst we have ever run in. There were about 20 cars binned in the first two stages. It was a very tough event, in a number of ways. Without wanting to second guess the outcome of the investigation, I wouldnt put myself or anyone I loved into a car without a roof and full cage in one of these events.

Nah, dont think so...............here are a few shots of the cage install.......a mission to say the least.

I have updated our Youtube page with a stage run from last weekend. Apologies for the quality, it looks much better on the plasma at home I can assure you. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=89GTR

Thanks Guys for your kind comments. The lil GTR ran well and we even took a stage win off Jim Richards in Stage 2 which is one to go to the 'pool room'. If anyone wants to know about our Tarmac experiences I am happy to help where I can as the learning curve has been pretty steep. Cheers, Drew

R32 GTR Front Seats no tears, holes or wear marks. Great condition. $600. PM or email to drew@stomp.com.au

Nice to meet you to Andrew. It was the first time I had got the car out on a track after putting it together, it has been a bit of a mission. It is an R32 GTR I imported last year, I plan on doing tarmac rally stuff and a few track days, so it has been tuned conservatively to keep it all together. Apart from a decent cage and seats, it runs 6 pot AP's on the front and RE55's. I am off to the Maserati day at Winton this weekend get some more time behind the wheel on the track. Georgie (my wife) got in a few laps, I need to be careful though because we used to run a WRX and she got too close for comfort to my times........not sure how I would handle her going faster than me!

Please email me if you have a standard airbox for an R32 GTR, Melbourne area. drew@stomp.com.au
