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.

      Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.

      So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.

      I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
