Hey there, just joined the forum and also just got me a 91 r32 GTR, I'm kinda familiar with the car, didn't see or talk of many growing up. But I'll just get strait to the point, I've got this great car and i want to throw some money in it. So far its stock I've got a basic understanding of modding a car but i figured because there's so many people doing it on here maybe you could point me in the right direction. Any help is appreciated thanks.

Up for grabs is my pride and joy. One of the very clean and original R33 GTR in the country. Owned by an Automotive Engineering and an avid car enthusiast. This example come with the rare and desirable midnight purple exterior metallic paint. I have upgraded the front spoiler to the Series 3 one. The exterior side skirts came in with the car from japan (unsure of brand). It has a full HKS exhaust system and rare three spoke advan wheels. The low mileage RB26 twin turbo engine is in perfect condition with no leaks or additional noises. The interior is immaculate for its age with the original recaros, no tears or scuffs. When the car came in from Japan, the speedometer was not working, therefore I had to change the cluster. Hence the mileage now shows 106xxx from the car the cluster came with. I have the compliance papers showing the original mileage of 88xxx km. I also have the HKS air intake system, which I will provide with the car. Swapped to OEM intake during RWC and never changed back. The car is garaged and washed and waxed every weekend. Looking for a lucky new owner. The only reason for selling this is that I will be leaving Australia as I will be graduating from the University of Melbourne with my Masters Degree in Engineering Management.

For Sale: I have up for sale a Trust TD05 top mount twin turbo setup for an RB26. Setup includes turbos, manifolds, pipes, wastegate, and piping to intercooler. The turbos have only just been reconditioned and havent even been boosted above wastegate pressure due to the car is still on its run in tune. Reason for selling is ive only just aquired the car and im going to a single turbo setup. looking for $3000 for everything. Please get in contact me for any further questions on 0437025089. cheers Luke

What turbos am i running?? Hi All, So i am trying to figure out what turbos i have before considering a turbo upgrade for my 1995 R33 GTR. I am not sure whether they are stock or are already upgraded and if so what would be the limits of them as a pair. both turbos generally look the same although some of the information on the tags are different. The details given in the tag for each turbo are as listed below. Turbo 1 - 'Honeywell Garrett' P/N: 707160/5007s S/N: NG 0122J Turbo 2 - 'Garret Allied Signal' MH 0412J 14411 - AA403 707160-7 If someone could clarify what exactly i am running, that would be great as i am new to the turbo world lol. P.s From the research i have done, i think they are GT2860R's... not sure if these are stockies? Cheers

Ben - 1990 R32 GTR Alright, here we go. For those who don't know me I recently posted my introduction in the Newbies thread, so won't get into that here. In early August I picked up my 1990 R32 GTR after lots of searching and researching, admittedly it wasn't the perfect example of what I was looking for and I did kind of jump into the purchase a little bit. When purchasing the car I was never naive as to think it would all be smooth sailing with 0 problems. Boy was I completely unprepared for what happened next. On the freeway on the way home, a slight squeaking noise could be heard from the engine under boost, so figured it was a boost leak, got her home and realised just how done the stock inter cooler piping was (unfortunately no pics as it was) so the first thing to do was replace the piping. I decided on Greddy hard piping to ensure reliability. After having the stock piping pop off completely on the passenger side and the car losing all power, I did not want that happening again. I picked up the piping kit second hand in very good condition (could use a polish which I will get around to). Please excuse the snap chat photo (car is in shop and only photo I have at the moment) After fixing this issue, the car ran fine for a month or so until one morning it didn't start. Managed to narrow the issue down to a fuel problem as it was ticking over and sparking, pulled out the fuel filter and found out that it was almost 100% blocked. Happy days as this was only a cheap fix and did it the same day. Again unfortunately no pictures as I never thought about doing a build thread but will be sure to document my work a lot more from this point on. After daily driving my car for a while all was looking well. That was until my friend accidentally reversed into my car ON MY BIRTHDAY at 4am after what was admittedly a very big night at Marquee in The Star casino. He called me straight after it happened and I was thankful for his honesty, we got it all sorted thru insurance pronto. As you can see the whole grille snapped out of the front bar. Cracked the whole bar in numerous places The blinker was hanging out by it's wiring, so a temporary patch job was needed as all the clips snapped in the accident. After a bit of back and forth from the smash repairer, he decided he couldn't find another carbon fibre bonnet and said he was just going to put a stock bonnet on instead. No he wasn't not on my watch. So I called up my insurance and they decided to pay me out to source my own bonnet! What a blessing in disguise. I ended up getting Carbon Plus down in Victoria to fabricate a brand new DMAX Style bonnet for me which looks like this: Now whilst I don't NEED the vented hood because I don't have a top mount, I decided I just love the look of these bonnets on the GTR. There was a 6-8 week waiting time on this as it has to be made, and at this point in time I am still waiting for it (don't think it will be done before the new year). After this I drove the car for a little while but as of about 2 weeks ago, I was going thru a tunnel and couldn't help myself so put my foot down only to have instant karma of a backfire and no boost after the tunnel. Every time I tried to hit boost, there was a faint rattling sound within the turbo and I wasn't spinning the wheels at all within the turbos. I did a bit of research and figured out it was probably the ceramic exhaust wheel that had snapped off. A few days later I had it towed to Hornsby Automotive to Lenny who has done good work on a bunch of my friends cars. After a bit of back and forth he confirmed that it was indeed the exhaust wheel that had snapped off, he gave me a few options to which I decided to go with Garrett GT2860 -5 turbos keeping the low mount twin setup. The owner previous to me only had it tuned to ~207awkw on 10psi safe tune for whatever reason (either the intercooler piping or the turbos on their way out). The old (unbroken) turbo which will probably end up as a paperweight The new turbo (please excuse the generic internet photo as I didn't get any of the actual turbos before installation). Whilst the car was there I decided to get it completely look at and serviced, he ended up replacing the spark plugs with platinum ones, rather than the $8 ones the d***head before me had chucked in for the sale. The more I found out about this car the more I started to hold a grudge against the guy who sold it to me Although it is my fault at the end of the day. After going over the car, the shop calls me in and decided to show me the sump plug which is completely stripped and held in with tape apparently. This really ticked me off as if that had fallen out you can say goodbye RB. I ended up having that replaced and a few other bits and pieces like hose clamps etc. As of at this very moment, the car is done in the shop and booked in for a tune tomorrow 10/11/16 at MRC in Castle Hill which I am super excited about. My guy reckons he will have the car back Friday night, hopefully ready to be picked up sometime on Monday. Plenty more updates to come and after reading a few build threads on here (namely RBN1) I want to focus on cleaning up the interior and bits and pieces once I have her back. Below is a complete list of mods the car currently has: Bosch 800cc Injectors Garrett GT2860 -5 Turbos Walbro 450 Fuel pump HKS Cam Gear Apexi Twin Filters Exedy cushion button clutch JJR cat back exhaust and front pipe (high on my to-do list) Apexi Power FC and hand controller GFB Boost Tee Bc Racing Coilovers Hard Race Collars Hard Race tension / caster rod set Rays gram lights 57 pro (18x9+20) Carbon Fibre Bonnet Rocket Dancer boot wing Momo Style steering wheel (need to change) AWD / RWD Cabin switch 5% Tint (waaaay too dark, going to be changed ASAP) Lastly, Can anyone tell me everywhere that I should be checking for rust, I want to go over the whole car completely and rectify any rust spots that I may find. Hopefully there isn't too much Here is a few more pics of how she sat pre being reversed into Updates should be coming within the next week or so, interested to see what kind of power she will be putting out.

Oil in intake Currently running R34 N1 turbos AA403, noticed some oil in the intake, though I have already installed a nismo catch can. More than likely the front seals I just ordered some .8mm restrictors. But whats the chances of there being oil in my intercooler and it's blowing back into my intake via the bov recirculation?
