and its not as tough as all the others

Hey hang on, the first car on the list here is a non-turb GTS!

There seems to be a lot more Targa cars around here than I first thought. There's only a hand full here in NZ. Mind you, none of you have any gravel pics yet. The last gravel sprint I was at had two Skylines competing...and more in the build!

well I can't find the gravel pics of my GTR - yet, but there's one in my avatar. They're only from an autocross though. Here's a couple from a tarmac rally last year. Photos thanks to www.suddenlysideways.com

My previous car - a Datsun 1200 coupe with 146rwbhp L18 built to Improved Production rules. having some fun at Morgan Park:

I swapped the GTR a couple of weeks ago for a mates 3J log booked Datsun 1200 coupe (plus some cash). Very similar to the 1200 coupe I built myself before the GTR came along, only with twice the horsepower thanks to the CA18DET... no pics of that yet

ok, I will throw up my nugget.

R32 GTR. run in club sprints and state sprints. had a few good results.

a few specs:

running ohlins (nismo) all alloy shocks with remote canisters and seperate bump and rebound adjustment

all adjustable arms (except LCAs)

big swaybars

cusco 8 point cage

~270rwkw

heaps of other gear. cobra evolution seat, lots of defi gauges, 34 GTR brembos a few sets of rims (33 GTR and enkei NT03 atm). lots of time and money spent on suspension work and set-up, and stuff like big oil cooler etc. way to much to add up.

Ah haa! That's what I want to see, using all the road and then some! Good to see you guys aren't scared to use the GTR for what it was built for, too many posers over here :rolleyes:

Here is my old loyal steed. Dont have many pics because it isnt really a thing if beauty, but here is

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
