Hi all,

well ive had her now for a bit over a week, and ive finally got around to taking some happy snaps. so here you go

Quick run down on the car,

1990 R32 GTR

Twin N1 turbos (1.3 bar), Apexi power FC, Greddy Profec Boost controller, ARC intercooler, Nismo fuel pump and reg, Cam gears, Apexi filters, Trust exhaust, Tein Super Street coil overs, Cusco front and rear strut braces, P1 Buddy Club 17's.

I think that about it... But all this equates to about 280kw at all fours, and a truckload of fun!!! Cant wait for the first trackday!

Please feel free to comment...

P.S. Sorry for the poor quality pics, (moblie phone used...)

fantastically modified in tough black!

btw mate i would really put in an oil cooler before you take a track day on, if you watch this best motoring dvd called gtr: the prodigy, a stock r32 gtr goes out on the track and the oil temperature climbs very high by like the second lap so id hate to see anything bad happen to yours as its got significanty more power.

yeah ive actually got that dvd, thats what got me thinking about it.

if the oil temp can climb that quick in a stock gtr at tsukuba (prolli 10 degrees air temp or less), imagine what would happen to one with 280kw at a track day that might be 30 od degrees.

thanks mate.

The engine is still r32, with r34 covers.

brakes are standard, unfortunatley. but upgrade is on the way!

i would like to get my hands on a set of semi slicks for the track, but need to save my pennies for a while.

cheers.

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
