Man the Supra is such a nice car - anyone whos driven it will agree, but yeah its got nothing on the GTR :D

my current tally is 1 broken, 1 not broken. can add one sold to that. and one stolen. nasty. but un-like some who shall not be named, mine don't stay broken for long... :ermm:

5 weeks down on my Skyline and the only "off roading" it has done was through some road works making it nice and dirty :rofl:

My Skyline was off the road from a week in between I paid the deposit and paid for the rest of the car, needed complaince, blue slip, rego ect...

But none of these count now do they :ermm:

R32 Broken engine, Broken turbo, Broken Clutch, failed fuel pump, failed center bearing, broken coolant line to turbo

R33 Broken suspension, Broken Clutch, Broken Engine

Wooo its been a good year for me lol

Mines got a blown turbo, Faulty turbo after not even 3 months being in the car... compressor seal shit itself ramming wheel into housing...

Im hoping that the highflower of the turbo gets back to me quickly as its just sitting in the driveway collecting dust...

Stagea FTW!!!!111!!!!11ty!!!

Mine's been off the road for a few days here and there because I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT ANYWHERE!!!

So far so good, the only thing that's happened is when I blew the turbo not long after I bought it, which is closing in on 2yrs ago now.

Hoping to have some things done to it this week, so it'll likely be off the road and NOT at home for maybe a few days.

Lots of broken 'lines. I guess they're getting on in years, and this year has just been unlucky. I'm sure there are more of you out there :(

Another reason why someone should buy mine.... she's a very happy sort and gives me nothing but good times

I LOVE THIS CAR!

Mine's been perfect so far this year........damn i love my car, very reliable.

Having just said that, I'm sure something is going bang tomorrow.

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
