  6. Hi guys, Not sure if its known but if you visit www.dukevideo.com you can download the above titles for 4 british pounds or buy the DVD for 12.00 pounds, i got free shipping to australia on the DVDs
  7. You guessed it – baby on the way................ I’m the original owner of this black 1992 GTR since it arrived at Turismo Motorsports in Adelaide back in the day. I bought this in 2001 and have owned it for the past 13 years and have rebuild most of the running gear in that time. It is in very good condition for a model this age. The motor has since been rebuilt with forged CP pistons, ARP rod and stud bolts, R33 crank (new), oil restrictors in the head, Mines rocker cover baffles, tomei sump baffle kit, N1 oil and water pumps, sard 700cc injectors, trust heavy duty timing belt, power fc & boost controller, Z32 afms, nismo fuel pump, tomei dump and front pipes, trust 517z turbos, Blitz 100mm intercooler, bigger radiator (can’t remember exact size) and oil cooler kit in the front bumper and Duncan’s attessa torque controller. As well as fitted with Tomei Poncams, Tomei adjustable cam wheels also fitted at the time of rebuild. I have driven less than 10 000km since the rebuild. Also has lightened flywheel and heavy duty clutch, hi flow exhaust (can’t remember exact model) – very legal/quiet but unrestricted. All work done by Boostworz and all of the above would be able to be verified by Shaun. R33 Brembo brakes all round, Bilstein shockers, King springs and braided lines fitted by Manta Racing Panasonic MP3 player head unit installed with a double sub woofer in the boot – came from Japan like that! Wheels are RAYS GRAM LIGHTS 17x9 +22, with new Federal tyres, 255,40x17 all round Car has been dynoed at just under 330kW on 98 octane, clean, well maintained there is literally nothing to spend, just drive and enjoy, never raced, dragged or even driven in anger. Currently only listed here, hopefully someone on SAU will pick this up. Any questions and dyno can be sent to anyone interested - please ask here or PM me for my phone number, car can be viewed by appointment at Crafers, Thanks Jason

  10. Hi All, Been writing this one out for a while now that I have internet back , I can start pasting all my crap down Names Jake. Some of you may have seen me attend most of the Jdm + antilag cruises before my engine went pewpew, Or just generally driving around SoR , Used to have a 33gtst as a 2nd year sparky, sold that in my 4th year and bought my 1993 R32 GTR I'm now 2 years into being a tradesmen and wouldnt trade it for anything else. When I got it we found the entire cooling system was gone to shit the previous owner did not take any care of it whatsoever not naming any names off here, The radiator was 90% clogged, the coolant in the reservoir was all muddy after a 10-15 minute drive the oil temperature would sit anywhere to 100-115 and would usually result in boiling coolant, I got it checked out and also found the coolant lines to both turbos were 100% blocked as well as most of the cooling channels in the block tried flushing and just about everything else we could think of. We did our best with it and gave it a little detune down to 360hp at all 4's for the time being, while also replacing all the hoses and main coolant line, new radiator etc. The oil temperature still rose to about 100-110 after a 20 minute drive, We only delayed the inevitable however it wasn't doing to bad could only use it for sprints to the shops and cruises and meets that were nearby. I've made alot of tough decisions,But I decided to get an entire new engine built from top to bottom with no cheap corner cutting anywhere, Convert to a big tough single and add in even more mods to make it an absolute street monster, I wan't to make this car live up to its name The True Godzilla . Everything had to be absolutely perfect as im a paranoid bastard aswell ,My engine has just been sent over which was finished up by Mark Jacobsen at Godzilla Motorsports over in QLD. Engine specs are as follows, CP Forged pistons, H beam forged Tomei Rods, Jun Oil pump, ARP stud kits with main stud caps, Crank collar, R32 ati Harmonic Balancer, 7.5Ltr Custom sump , Acl race bearings, Head running Stage 3 Maximum Race Porting, Machine to fit Hks 272 10.2mm Lift cams, 1mm oversize intake+ exhaust Super tech titanium valves, Bronze guides , Dual springs with titanium retainers Cometic Head gasket 6boost manifold 50mm Turbosmart Progate Garret dual bb Gtx3582r Vipec Ecu Aircon Deletion Just going to paste down the progress over the months so bare with me if the timing seems odd The engine started getting built in November 2012 and to this day the build continues. Engine was delivered in June. Was a very long wait indeed! Engine build Pics. Engine Finished, Crated and getting ready for posting. Engine Arrived nice and tightly packed. Up on the stand, Pewpew shiny cam gears. This is the old engine in the car, Just got fitted up so all the welding could be done for the pipework while theres an RB in the car, So after the bay goes for a respray all the piping is already made up so the new paintwork wont get scratched etc. New Engine on stand with bolt ons and Gtx fitted. Engine Bay freshly resprayed

  13. I have a 1993 Nissan Skyline GTR R32 up for sale or swap. I'm over the car, it's my second one and I want to buy a series 5 fc Rx7 as I've always wanted one. Or something newer and more comfortable. Car was also originally bought from another member here about 4-5 months back now? -Built 2.7L motor, sleeved to accommodate 88mm CP pistons -HKS Step 2 rods and bearings -ARP headstuds -HKS Camgears -GREDDY staggered 262/272 camshafts -N1 oil pump -R34 gtr crankshaft -Custom 8L baffled sump -PAR straight cut gearbox 1st-3rd -GATES Timing belt and accessory belts all round -Brand new century battery 1 week old -Custom oil catch can -750cc injectors -New spark plugs bcpr6es-11 gapped to 0.8mm -twin entry fuel rail -Sard fuel pressure regulator -Oil cooler -Hks mushroom pods -Z32 afm -Oil filter relocation kit -3inch turbo back exhaust -Aftermarket aluminium radiator -Aftermarker front mount intercooler -Bosch 044 external fuel pump and surge tank -Nismo shift knob -Autometer boost, oil temp and oil pressure gauges -greddy profec spec 2 boost controller -Apexi power fc ecu with hand controller -Tein adjustable coilovers -Rear diff bushings have been changed -Hicas disabled electronically -Rebuilt r33 n1 turbos The car used to make 340awkw but atm is running 252.8awkw on Incar's dyno on 14psi, it's got potential for alot more but turbo seals are on its way out so it's on a conservative tune. Plan was to throw on a gtx3582r and push over 400awkw but over it and want to trial out something I've always wanted before I buy an r34 gtr. I have also a spare power fc d-Jetro with map sensors and loom that was bought for the single conversion but not used. Also forgot to mention it's got a brand new bm57 Bmc in it as I was going to throw on evo brembos in preparation for the power it was going to make. The body's fair for its age and the interior is pretty immac if you consider its only got a tiny bubble compared to my previous gtr. If the new owner wants to go down the same route and get the brembos, i can get them off my mate for you for $700 front and rear, and $1100 for d-jetro with brand new hand controller never used with map sensors and wiring harness. It's got almost full year rego, 10 months from today pretty much and looking for a swap for a clean series 5 fc Rx7 with cash my way and I know what they are worth or $22000 Ono for my gtr and for what it's got its a very fair asking price and I'm also nego. Oh forgot to add, there's an entire folder with dyno sheets and receipts for all the work done to the car. Car can be arranged to be viewed at Anytime during the week as I also currently left my job last Saturday. Located in Fairfield, contact number 0422 one two six 939. Strictly no tyre kickers or joy riders, test drives only when deposits taken otherwise ill take you for a spin thats IF you seem like a genuine buyer. Im still on the rocks in regards to selling it since theres not many series 5 rx7 on the current market i like so dont bother trying to low ball me im not in a rush. Ill consider fair negotiations with genuine buyers.
  14. Up for sale or swaps is my R34 GT-T. Looking for a reliable daily with cash my way, or a R32 GTR for swaps. Will consider other turbo manual jap imports with cash my way or direct swap depending on offer. Link to my ad is below. http://www.gumtree.com.au/m-my-ad.html?adId=1055617191
  15. For Sale: RB26 R34 GTR Parts For Sale 1) R34 GTR RB26 Factory Injectors x 6 with approximately 60,000km - $200 (free express postage anywhere in Australia) 2) Top Feed Injector Extensions Short to Full Length (11mm) - $55 (free express postage anywhere in Australia)
  16. I purchased this car on 1/8/2008 with 32500km on the clock, was told by my mechanic that the car is likely actually 132,500km based upon wear and tear. The White Nismo Odometer currently reads 85,500km. Selling becuase even though I love it I dont get to drive it as much as it deserves and its time for someone else to cherish this car. My boys have loved it with their two child seats in the rear, wanting me to make the woosh louder than the daddy's music but with a receeding hairline and doubling chins its time to let this boy racer be loved by another. This car drives well and comes on boost early. It talks to you about the road and gives you the real driving feel when hooking into a corner. Chirping second and running out of road is a frequesnt occurance. Will come with VIC Number plate GZLGTR.

  17. Been on the forum a long time, but have never posted - sorry ☹️. So my apologise if as a first post this is frowned upon. My days of Godzilla ownership here in the UK are coming to end for now due to the need to buy property. I've been an active Member of the GTR Owners Club since about 2014 which I now help run based here in the UK. I appreciate that importing an R32 from Japan is a lot closer for you guys, but was told by friend at MeisterR to make sure I post here & a certain American Club/Forum as well to fellow Skyline, Stagea & GT-R owners who may be able to give this a good home. It is advertised on Pistonheads, but under the forum rules I am posting direct here with no links to the advert. However this is an actual cut & paste so bear in mind it is aimed at UK buyers. Obviously happy to deal with your import agent etc. if anyone is interested. Series One 1990 Nissan R32 GT-R. Veilside Evolution III-R. £32,950 I have owned this car since 2009 and I never honestly thought the day would come where I was actually putting it up for sale. This was the car that I was going to be buried in, then in the afterlife become the unstoppable team as Satan’s new wheelman. However due to the need for property, on the mortal plane that is. The sale of my Godzilla has come about at the cost of many drafts, tonnes of emotion and a virtual rain forest of word documents over biblical number of days and nights. So firstly lets do the spec list: * CORBEAU Sportline RS1 Driver / Passenger Seats. * DENSO High Atomised Top Feed Fuel Injectors. * DO LUCK Rear tension Cage & Rear Tension Bar. * DRIFTWORKS HICAS Eliminator & Polybush Kit. * EPR RACING Carbon Fibre Z-TUNE style bonnet. * EPR RACING Radiator cap with inbuilt pressure dial. * GREDDY Competition Stage 4 Six-Pad Ceramic. * GREDDY Clutch & Hard Pipe Kit. * GTC Carbon Wing. * HISPEC Six Pot Baking System with Braided lines. * HKS 2530 Turbos x2. * HKS Forged Pistons. * HKS Cams. * LINK G4+ with Wideband sensor. * MEISTER_R ZETA-R Coil-Overs. * MEISTER_R Tension Rods. * MEISTER_R Front & Rear Camber Arms. * MINES Downpipes. * MINES Turbo Elbows. * NZEFI Crank Angle Trigger Kit - replacing CAS. * PANASPORT G7 - C5C Three Piece Alloys. * RK TUNING Forged Engine Block / Baffled Sump. * ROCKFORD FOSGATE - Audio System * ROBSON Leather Interior - Made in Japan. * SAMCO Full Under Bonnet Hose Kit. * SPLITFIRE Coil Packs. * SWAVE & SUMMIT Front & Rear Strut Braces. * TOMEI Valve Springs. * TOP SECRET Baffled Catch Can. * TRUST GREDDY AIRINX Twin Intake Filter Kit. * UNKNOWN Alloy Radiator! * UNKNOWN Intercooler! * VERNIER Cam Pulleys. * WALBRO 450 Fuel Pump & Fuel Pressure Regulator (I many have missed some bits). I’ve always been very picky / choosey who deals with my Skylines & this car has been no exception. Everything is there to improve on the factory parts or to improve the vehicles response or performance. There are major performance brands invested too, with some of the parts now rarer than rocking horse poo. The car was imported from Japan into the UK in late 2008 / early 2009 with the Veilside EIII-R kit already fitted. However the two front wings were in a terrible state so some pattern copies went on, not that you’d know it! The important bits of the car such as the chassis, strut tops, underside were all spot on and have been maintained. According to the GTR Registry website, the VIN number states this is a late 1990 Series One R32 GT-R that was originally in the KH2 Gun Grey Metallic colour. In Japan this car was resprayed in some sort of Emerald Green colour as you can see a couple of patches under the bonnet still. Once in the UK it was resprayed blue, but a number of years later it was found the car was sprayed in ‘patches’ even though you couldn’t see it until placed under certain lighting. The car was then resprayed completely in the blue colour that you now see before you which sits somewhere between ‘BMW Estorial Blue’ and ‘Mazda Starry Blue’ However the colour being a one off has its own official name and paint code that will come with the car. Since the start of my ownership, this car has never once wanted for anything that it needed. Whether it be the finest oils, the best fluids, new seals, upgraded parts or a just a quick wash. It has been treated well in things such as always warmed up, cooled down, no launches & never ‘EVER’ partaken in that pathetic practice of pops & bangs. As a true Skyline & GT-R enthusiast - who also happens to be part of the team running the official GTR Owners Club - I’m sure you get the idea that it’s been treated well. The car was undersealed by Valet magic in November 2014, but it has spent its winters - also when not in use - locked in a lovely secure indoor environment all snuggly and warm. Did I mention dry too as I also used a ‘Carcoon’ during winter or when it came home wet. If you don’t know what a Carcoon is then GOOGLE is your friend. If it did venture out in winter & there was salt on the roads (such as driving to & from Autosport International), then it was jet-washed, underside cleaned etc. for any potential winter road crap & then stored again. The sale of this R32 does also include a couple of crates of spares & bits. Anything from NISMO strut braces, to brand new space saver wheels, spare PANASPORT wheel caps & other stuff I keep finding! If you’re the lucky new owner then you won’t fit this all in the R32, so make sure you factor this in on collection. You can also keep the crates! The car was last fully serviced in April 2020 with a full check over at MnM Engineering based in Strood, Kent, who have been looking after this car full time since 2014. It is also being booked in for another service, check over & MOT in the middle of May 2021 before, during or after the time you’re reading this. It was also in 2014 when MnM Engineering removed the original RB26DETT engine & replaced with fully forged & rebuilt RB26DETT sourced from RK Tuning. Pre-MnM Engineering days, a company called I.A Motorsport looked after the car, but it also went to RK Tuning with Ron’s fine touch many times too. This is well-known car in the Skyline & GT-R community & has been featured in various ‘media’ over the many years of my ownership. The car has attended - either for display or demonstration - places such as Autosport International, Brooklands, Goodwood, Coventry Motofest & Japfest to skim the iceberg. There are too many local or minor shows to mention as well as a couple of charity days, Hillclimbs & sprint events too. Mileage wise, which has been verified on MOT checker. The mileage shown is actually in "KILOMETERS" & not in miles: • January 2009 - MOT - 75850 kilometers. • April 2010 - MOT - 83.376 kilometers. • April 2011 - MOT - 89.709 kilometers. • April 2012 - MOT - 92.677 kilometers. • May 2013 - MOT - 94.709 kilometers. • April 2014 - MOT - 98.042 kilometers - new engine went in from May. • April 2015 - MOT - 101.334 kilometers. • May 2016 - MOT - 105.735 kilometers. • June 2017 - MOT - 108.266 kilometers. • June 2018 - MOT - 110.406 kilometers. • May 2019 - MOT - 122.484 kilometers. Mileage is what I would call long road mileage, I’m sure there is a better term somewhere. What this means is mileage was gained on road trips or to & from events on fast roads with constant speeds. It’s never been a pop to the shops car, or just short, quick, start, stop journeys. The car was mapped on Shell V-Power 99RON, which has always been the main choice of go-go juice for this R32. It has also used Momentum 99RON from Tesco & a couple of times on BP 95RON. When 95RON has gone in it was fed octane booster (that I carry in the boot just in case) & driven sedately off boost as much as possible until more V-Power or Momentum made a return of more than half a tank. It’s even had some 102 stuff in as well. So … bad points … • This is a 31 year old car. Whilst it is in excellent condition, having been well looked after, maintained etc. it is not showroom standard. There are imperfections which we owners always see & pick out even if you don’t. This car is used, so there are stone chips, interior has some wear & other minor signs of being used! • The dashboard is in "KILOMETERS" which includes the speed when your driving. I never got any conversion done. It is 'NOT' in miles as already stated. However your friendly MOT man has always put this is miles on the MOT database! • This is definitely a ‘drivers car’, which means if you like one finger on the steering wheel at speed in your Mercedes or similar, this may not be the car for you. Due to its wide nature, including the tyres it can ‘tram’ on motorways. Especially in the left lane where the HGV’s churn a path in the tarmac. High speed in these areas is not recommended as I have been thrown out into the middle lane or beyond in the early days! • There is paint protection film on some areas of the car & it’s probably getting near the time where it could do with some new stuff, but it’s done its job. • Despite its sterling record of being stored & parked indoors when not in use, there is one winter that makes me shudder when it went to Protuner in Coventry for some upgrades back in November 2018 until March 2019. It wasn’t the worst winter on record thankfully & I did go up to check on the car regularly. But in the months of work it was there, unfortunately small areas of ‘rust bubbling’ have appeared along the top of the windscreen & the rear screen on the roof by the by the seals. I have shown these in the photos. • Being a 1990 car it is fully U.S of A legal & I am happy to take serious interest from abroad. However you will be arranging your own transportation & shipping from the UK. I will though for a petrol, lunch & return fee be happy to drop the car to your U.K. agent or port. So to conclude: • I am only interested in serious genuine buyers. Due to my work / life / family balance if a potential buyer is coming to see the car, it’s a day of my life quite simply. So in the nicest possible sense I have ‘zero’ tolerance for cockwombles, dreamers or as the saying goes ‘test pilots’. I am not in any rush to sell. • Thank you for any potential part exchange offers, however due to stated reason of sale, I am not interested - thank you. • “What’s your best price mate” will be met anything sarcastic I can think of at the time. Or ‘the one that it is advertised at’ but you obviously aren’t that interested. Interested parties ask the right questions, want to see the car & haggle. Especially as the price does say ‘o.n.o’ which if you’re still scratching your head means watch some episodes of Gas Monkey! Thank you for reading.
  18. As a previous owner of a tuned Champion Blue R32 GTR, I had the pleasure of reviewing a similar car last week here in Sydney. A very original R32 Silver JDM import with a few V-spec bits but pretty much standard. Many of you will be fully across this, but I thought you all might be enjoy our assessment and real drive, especially those considering buying one. You can let us know what you think in the comments (or of any glaring inaccuracies!).
