New Baby

[gtrtech]

Hello to all,

After much talk I finally bought myself a turbo, well 2 actually!

Bought our new baby home yesterday.

It's a baby for sure, because it's going to cost me a small fortune (repairs and parts for compliance) before I even get to play with it (just like a baby).

It'll probably crap itself while I'm holding it (just like a baby).

Fluids all over the floor, do the wrong thing as it gets older, tantrums, etc (just like a baby)

But its mine and I LOVE IT (just like a baby)

Cheers

Thanks to all.

Took it out for a spin again yesterday, before the temp. rego permit ran out.

Something very weird going on, tramlines like a bitch with the 18' and jap spec susp (rock hard), then the back to kicks out. Very exciting at 80kmh +

Back wants to steer car.

Assuming it's a combo of the above and radius bushes on front being shagged.

Planning on doing these as well as the rear subframe bushes.

Does the HICAS not like big ass wheels and super stiff susp?

Not something that happened on test drives (of course), but was always it bit flighty on our fabulous SA roads system due to susp.

Any advice welcomed on this one

Cheers

Congrats on the new addition to the family!!! I recently bought a 'new baby' as well and with the 33 GTR wheels, 255/45R17s and track spec suspension it tramlines a fair bit. Never had the back try to steer the car though - apart from when I wanted it too...........

Excellant choice on car go the red emblem

my GTR tramlined heaps too with 265/35/18 all round its the toe thats probably out also if its lowered the negative camber is probably like 3 degrees which causes massive tram lining. I put in a camber kit and adjustable radious rods and steering is awsome

I was actually looking at an R31 Coupe to start off wth, yours looks bloody nice.

It was a simple decision in the end. I really like R31's, but I've ALWAYS wanted a GT-R.

That, as well as the fact it was a pretty good deal I got on the GT-R was enough to sway me.

Thanks to everyone for their support and help. Hopefully I'll be on the road soon.

Cheers

Where did you pick your GTR up from? Looks in good nick.

The car was a private sale.

Looks can be deceiving. It's a 100,000+ km plus car with a paint job. Interior is not too bad, drivers seat bolsters are trashed. It's got some rust as well. It was an R grade auction car, interior is only C grade. I knew all of this before purchase and the seller didn't try and hide anything. Makes a pleasant change from some stuff I'd looked at.

But it's a GT-R And it's now parked in my garage

Cheers
