Hey,

Just wonder how many other r32 GTR owners reguarily do 6500rpm+ launches, second gearies ect in their GTR?

mines got a twin plate and oil cooler ect, when i drive it like that it feels fine, as if it can handle being driven like that (plus its fun), where as in my other cars driving them in this manner felt like it was going to break stuff

the only thing i havent been game to try is 4wd doughies

so does every baby them around or what?

hahah i think the launches are hardest on the clutch... doesn't do much to the engine. tracking it puts the engine through its paces more, and there is no way you are going to make an engine work as hard on the street as you would on the track :)

i'm not sure what 'second gearies' are?

4wd doughies.. haha i tried that on a wet skidpan, just sits there and pivots, kinda fun.

i'm not sure what 'second gearies' are?

when you get the wheels to chirp for a second or 2 when you change from first to second going flat out

i find that it can still bog down sometimes around 6000rpm, but anywhere above seems to be the sweet spot for launches in my car, no bog down, lays a bit of rubber for about 5m or so too. i wouldnt try it too often if you dont have a very strong clutch. ive done about 30 so far without any problems

also i "hear" that gtr's can rip pretty nice burnout in rwd (with no use of the brakes)

Got a triple plate in mine and it's still great launch after launch.

Did a 4 wheel doughnut burnount once and it is pretty specy. All everyone sees at night is lots of white smoke coming off all the wheels and headlights going round and round!!

    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though
