Maybe look at an Aus delivered R32?

Cost a bit more though, but you'll prob have a better chance of it being unmodified and in decent condition.

regardless of what i bought i'de probably bring it mostly to stock. bar an exhaust for some noise.

finding a straight one is hard..

ive seen a few in the FS section, ones fkn amazing! but not ready just yet.

Good luck fitting your audio gear into the back of a GT-R :whistling:

True that.

That one thing I love about my Stag. I was able to used the storage departments in the back and do a stealth install of my 4 channel and mono amplifier.

lol nah im looking for an already built motor.. if theres other bits on it, it will go back to Twin turbo and as stock looking as possible..

or evo. nah i dont know anything about them so wont touch anything but maybe an exhaust

I call bullshit.

Plenty of bolt ons for Evos. Only a matter of time...

Only looking at 32s? Not 33s or 34s?

nah, im not much of a fan of the 33 GTR and the 34r is well out of my price range.

32 i wanted since i looked for my first car. but for obvious reasons did not get one.

i know there are plenty of bolts ons for evo, but i dont think i wanna start a learning curve again with another engine. an exhaust and a tune i'd be happy. those things are zippy anyway.

Aaron, go the Evo. You'll enjoy the nimbleness (is that a word?) over the GTR and they are more practical (some might even say more reliable).

Damn easy to make power with them too.

+ 1 on the Evo......8 or 9 is the go!

yeh, by the time my car sells the 8 would have come down in price.

i am leaning towards the evo just because of the 4 door.

was looking at this.(which i doubt would still be for sale when i buy but dream) and they look schmick!

I had that model Evo before my Stag. It was the most reliable car I've ever had. I loved that car, a little razor on wheels. One thing I will say is that in some ways they are too easy to drive, 70/80 degree bends at 100kph don't seem too much of a problem.

I had an ecu tune, exhaust, fuel pump and a boost controller (only with another .2bar) and I was making 225awkw and 550 nm torque. Mid 12 sec 0-400 - The mods cost me about 3k, being an MR version a lot of the internals are up spec and if you so wished could really boost the hell out of them. I had a very conservative tune.

yeh thats what i was told. especially the mr GSRs are meant to be capable of 250+kw (e85 would be my choice lol)

buy an evo, it appears you cant drive anyway and they have plenty of computers on board to keep you on the road and do the driving for you :P

uncalled for you smelly prick lol

    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
    • Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg    
    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.
