If anyone genuinely is interested in buyer an R, please dont hesitate to contact me as a new beast is on the way from sushiland. Willing to sell if the right buyer and price is offered.

whats the right price, i have someone with cash looking for a gtr

Cash mmmmmm I love cash hahaha........ I wouldnt accept anything less than 40,000 cash for it as it is. I just spent 8 grand on extra parts not shown on car (brembos, drag cooler, defi gauges etc etc etc, two tone bmw leather etc.

Sorry mate I was only playing with Wreckedhead, didn't mean to offend every R32 driver on the forum

LOL, none taken. I was being serious, it really is the sleekest shaped car I've ever owned. Whether it's boxy to others or not doesn't worry me! Once again, none taken.

Anyway, on the go or show front, the motor comes out tonight. Hopefully 350 at the rears once we finish. :wassup:

will post pics of the new 20in wheels. looks crazy for anyone looking to buy wheels, 20s are your best choice.

Yeah, fully :uhh:

I dont understand how people cant see the appeal of 20's.

Shit ride quality, totally impractical, hellishly expensive rubber.................but the chicks dig it right?

I hope you got a free Tempe Tyres sticker with your new wheel hotness!

What sort of slicks, semi slicks, drag radials or drag cross-plys can you get for 20inch rims? Apart from being able to run massive brakes that would have the power to rip your face off, I don't get it if the tyres can't keep up with the brakes?

Did you change the ring and pinion to compensate for the larger rolling diameter? I know you've posted about being relatively fast around a track and at the drags - have the larger rims changed the suspension settings much?

Yeah I'm stupid and don't get alot of things ><

suspension was adjustable, didnt change the ride hight at all, feels exactly the same as 18s. i got nittos tyres on the wheels now, some cross drag radial. they are actually a very good tyre. i didnt change any rings or pinions to compensate for the larger diameter, the speedo is still the same.

but as you must know doughboy the wheels are just for show, at the drags ill have a set of 17 or 16in slicks .

Obviously you have a lot experiance with 20in wheels blitz, "Shit ride quality" ( dont think so its as shit as an 18in wheel) "totally impractical"( not really how practical are 18s or 19s. same shit really)"hellishly expensive rubber" ( its the same as any 18 or 19 in rubber) so i think you got a few things wrong, and for the chicks part, your 100percent right.

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know.

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      By DanielStone · Posted

      Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
