Yeah, its a minter and fairly rare so it'll be staying as is. Does around 30km per month. GTR's are so cheap to run lol.

Geezuz!

Take it out for a drive will ya! ;)

That's like a short drive to the shops and back once per week of the month (4 weeks)...

I guess it being an ADM GTR it has a decent value to it.

Sure, thats every 2 years or so. The car did get driven a fair bit when i was in Darwin but now its pretty much a shed car. Ive put around 2000ks in two years. It will be doing a lot less now.

it's a car that cost about half of what the gtr did 20 years ago, or in perspective, the new gtr costs about the same as what the r32 did (once you take into account inflation, etc), so the sti wrx is about 1/3 the cost, has 2 less cylinders and 100cc smaller engine, and is designed to be something, that when modified, doesn't need to put out 1000hp, but only needs about 350 to 400hp with a buttload of traction and short gear ratios. different horses for different courses.

Yeah this i understand,but i have found so often that WRX drivers are ex-nissan owners that complain about not getting traction etc, so ideally they wanted 1000hp, but when they figured out they couldnt get the power to the ground (or thats its really hard to drive) they traded for less power..This is the gayness..

RBNT man i thought i was slack 6000km in 3 years, but you win..At least your car will be appreciating but.If not now eventually..There will be a boom period like the GTHOs in 20-30 years, if you can wait that long you will cash in fo' shizz

My car is exactly the same as that albeit with 20k more on the clock. Full books, original leather folder, owners manual, alf barbagallo's business card.

It was only on their lot for 3 weeks.

From memory, Wheels Magazine tested back in '91 or '92 it was 4.7 secs, ADM R32 GTR.

I have seen time vary from 4.7 - 5.3 secs.

Depending on the driver I guess...

Yes i know the GTR does im asking about the 2011 STI wrx

They say it will be slightly faster then the hatch back version because it is lighter, but did not give an exact time measurement.

So what ever time the hatch back does, knock off afew micro secs I guess...

Somewhere slower than an R1 and faster than an Aurion.

Like it makes a toss of difference anyway. Surely there are more important ways to determine a car's performance potential than a single figure (which conveniently happens to be the GTR's strong point)

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yucky. Things haven't gotten any better though. Now you have Emerson and Honeywell pushing these massive DCS/Scada things with proprietary hardware. They're not a PLC, they're not a computer, they're a...distibuted PLCish/DCSish monster of thing, that only they can program because they make the barriers to entry for anyone else so fricking high. And their developers are all located in the third/developing world (and India, in case anyone does not include that place in that category) and there are terrible failings of the ESl variety, of the care and common sense variety, and f**king forget about Functional Safety. Not a one of them has any idea what it means to comply with an IEC 615xx series standard.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      All of the ECU grounds are to the chassis, the IGN grounds are to the cylinder head and i believe all the OEM body harness are left in original locations, im trying to work out if i can tell if the sensor voltage itself is losing any power to it from the very low ECU voltage. But yeah a manual pressure gauge will help in picking which path to actually chase. Also please dont bully my wiring plan i never designed it to be universally understood hopefully it still can make sense to you, im a wiring virgin.  1 thing i have just noticed the pressure sensor in question relays both pressure and temperature, the temperature reading holds nice and steady despite the low ecu voltage but the pressure reading is the one that jumps around alot so maybe it is really a pressure issue? wiring plan.xlsx

      RB25DET Solid lifter conversion

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers

      Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
