thanx for all the great positive comments! :( cheers everyone.

its a 92 model

the work im getting done is from potek, they seem pretty good.

1 little problem im noticeing atm is according the the power fc controller the air temp readin gets up to 40 - 50 degress and the water temp gets up to 70.

is this too high????

should i get the pods boxed up to keep them cooler cos after driving it i touch feel them and there warm!

my mate just sold his evo 9 for a black fd rx7...looks mean, but the evo was a much better car. the rx7 is stupidly tiny inside!!!

good to hear your going to protek.. dom & joe do some good work and have had some very quick gtrs come out of there..

congrats on the buy :)

awesome car. great buy. id change the turbos pretty soon if they're still stock. GT-SS are awesome. i got mine when i was on my 1st rebuild. great responsiveness and power. a little too small for the 2.8 now though. i really need to look at selling them :D and getting some bigger 1s. Perfect turbos for the RB26

what type of price would u wana get for ure gt-ss????

and dom at protek looks after the car very well, they seem like a good bunch of guys there.

ans is there a bolt on, or something to that effect for coolin, like a box and some sort of better cool air intake, or best to custom make??

ive always wanted to find the car that i would be able to call 'the one'

gone through a few cars on the way, so heres the pics to show the journey.

from a nice cool prelude back in the days, loved the interior and dash of this car.

to the first turbo...mitsu cordia.

was heaps of fun, but the torque steer was to toooo much! had 2 of those,

the silver one way modified nicely and loved it, but not the one, put the greatest sound system in it but got over that very quick

then skylines...r32 i belive is always the only skyline ive ever wanted.

gtst was ok but didnt really have the 'it factor.

so i decided i NEEDEd to buy an R32 gtr and im in love with the beast!!!!

i keep it put away in the garage and is purely a weekender because the feeling of coming home on friday and opening up the garage, taking the covers off and taking it out is unbelivable.

now i just look for excuses to drive it on the weekends lol

its very very clean, reasonable stock, tuned and dyno'd when i got it at 202kw at the 4.

running 13psi very safe tune but still fun for the road.

great fine white example of a 32gtr i think...and SUPER happy with the purchase.

....on order a set of 18x9.5 gtr face white advan tc2. fingers crossed they look good.

white rims on white car, still unsure. heres hoping! :P

ANY CRUISES IN VIC IM IN! and looking forward to it

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
