R32 GTR is a very expensive daily driver. I've used one for almost three years probably covering more kms than you will. You must understand that since the car has so many extra working parts the maintenence is going to be multiplied. eg: 2 Diff's, 2 turbos + transfer case

So what maintenance have you done on the turbos, on the front diff on the transfer case? I have had my Gt-R for almost three years now. Haven't had to touch any of them.

Cost per km figure for a GT-R would be about 50% greater than that for a Commode/Foulcan - in fuel, tyres, brakes etc etc. That is about how my R32 works out relative to my AU Foulcan. You just need to cost it in before deciding.

This is all very interesting. Seems a few people use theirs as daily drivers and dont have a much of a problem if any doing so.

I just dont want it to work out like my rotor. Spending more time off the road than on the road (in typical rotor style) with a thirst for $$$$ being thrown at it, and not just in the way of fuel bills.

Thanks for the help so far everybody. Seems my purchase of what ever car i decide has been hurried up. So if its GTR i decide, ill be hassling you alot more!

cheers

    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
    • Hi all, I thought I'd put one of these references in here before but it seems I haven't - not sure how many people are actually using this place still but I feel like there are guys lurking about who might find this reference useful or interesting.  A lot of the time people don't catch key details or even fully understand how compressor maps work - or don't even look at them and just go from heresay about deciding how different turbos may compare, but I've been putting together this table over the years as a quick reference to get a gauge of how certain compressors compare to cut down the time that can be wasted looking around aimlessly. * This relates purely to compressor flow, so won't necessarily reflect the outright capabilities of these turbos as the power potential also comes down to the turbine side.  If you understand this, you should be able to use this 😃 * The inducer and exducer size listed are the mm of just the compressor wheel * The values under the "psi" headings are "lb/min airflow" and reflect the maximum airflow that compressor supports before it's efficiency dips under 65%, or it reaches it's maximum speed - whichever comes first. Any questions, or requests for other turbos which the compressor map is available for then let me know 🙂
    • And what you pay for a pack of 8 bolts and nuts at Bunnings, will land me 200 of the same nuts and bolts from a fastener shop.   M12 * 1.25 IS a standard. It's not like ordering M12x1.25 and hoping the thread pitch is right. Unlike ordering an ounce, will get you 4 different amounts depending on which ounce someone takes it to be. Your issue is a supply issue.
