Hey,

Good to find some fellow enthuisiests, hello to everyone. Im new to SAU but not to skylines, have two R31s but am now the proud owner of my first R32 GTR.

Dont know if any of you know the previous owner, Ron Libbis? It was his personal GTR, not one of the hundreds he imports as a hoby, so its immaculate.

I cant get over that I now own a GTR and a very nice one at that :yucky: Im stoked!

Cheers!

I got the first sentence but im not sure what you were trying to say in the rest of your post sorry.

Cool, another burgendy out there. They call the colour by a few different names dont they, Ive heard "wine red" and "burgendy" and just then of you, "pearl red".

I love the look of the original bars but I love this one just as much, oh and its a tommy kiara front bar. Thing I love about this car is I dont have to do anything to it, my modding and fixing days are saved for the 31s :pirate:

jaw drops... oh my god thaT thing is beautiful... good luck with it...what mods?

In terms of engine mods its not far off from standard but setup very nicely with R34 N1 turbos pushing out 270kw at all 4 wheels. I wont say much more than that for now, but shes pretty darn quick....

Cheers!

I'm intrigued with the white engine bay?

Was the car originally pearl red from factory?

the paint is immaculate. i'd say respray at some time for sure, just because of the engine bay paint...

i'd find it hard to believe that the engine bay hasn't been resprayed at some time. there is no way white paint in the engine bay can look that good after so many years....

the external paint could be standard though, it just needs to be well looked after.

The car was originally gun metal grey, and the proof is the rear strut towers as the only part not repsrayed. It was resprayed pearl red with the white engine bay (im guessing to make the engine parts stand out) by the last owner in Japan before Ron imported it.

Cheers!

Oh and I took the liberty of providing the evidence of my owning the car as I know there are a lot of f**kwits out there with a twisted sense of humour pretending to own awsome cars.

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
