Hi All

I'm a fanatic, a devoted rev head and I realised on of my many dreams recently.

I just bought a R32 GTR on the weekend, wanted to say hi and i'm chuffed (albeit also in DEBT for a very long time). 93 model, excellent condition and they still make new cars look old and boring (as far as i'm concerned) and well really to get the same value and calibre of sports/racing car brand new you're looking at a minimum of $60,000.

It has to be said, i'm excited - big kev style (bless his soul....not really)

and skylines Rock! - Particuarly GTR's

Can't wait to take it to the track (eventually after debts have eased), the only place to truly test this cars performance.

lol head shots were the plenty on sunday, must have been the in thing to get hit there.

Nice 32 you have there, word of advise change the oil pump drive if it has not been done already.

Are you going to bring the car on Thursday to K's???

Welcome to the forums, congrats on one of the best(and worst due to the money you'll spend) cars to buy for its price tag.

Julian, I have met you a couple of times, you work with Ian - my guardian?

Also you're R32 is brilliant, saw it at summernats on the dyno which was great! and also at the shannons car show. Very very nice car!

Do you know where i might be able to get my hands on a 4.5inch silencer/restrictor?

Ian mentioned you might have an exhaust that i may be able to borrow, perhaps? mine is too loud. I can rent and/or pay deposit.

      Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.

      I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?

      More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.

      I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.

      Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
