Wantgtr - Now Have One! Bnr32

[WantGTR]

Hi All,

Long time lurker and occasional poster - so ive been out of cars for a few years and did the whole grown up thing, got married, became a home owner and now starting a family. The 32 GTR has been one of those cars that I have had plastered on my wall as a kid and always dreamed about. its finally at the point where its old enough that it is easy to afford. Sure there are newer and faster cars but this has always been my favorite.

I havent done much since i bought it apart from a good service. im really just tiding it up for the interim and have some plans later down the track.

Car is relatively standard, basic bolt ons but stock ecu and injectors. Have raced it at wsid and got a baseline, 12.5 @ 111mph. Thought it would be quicker although the clutch didnt like launches over 5k. this resulted in a pretty ordinary 1.9 60ft. Consdering the mph there isnt much more i can shave off the time but i will return after more engine mods.

i missed the fight on the weekend and hand polished the twin turbo pipe. half way through i was wondering what i got myself into but now i want to polish everything!!

interior needs some work. chasing down bits as we speak.

for some reason the carpet was all cut up when i bought the car. i took a punt and bought black carpet. i think i like it. i might have to make the boot trims black now.

Anyway, might catch some of you around. definitely some nice rides here!

Looks like a pretty clean example, good to see theres still a few left.

Curious as to where you got the carpet from? My boot carpet has also been hacked up. I look forward to seeing what you have planned for it!

It does.look good. It must be ok if you have already taken it to wsid and you didn't spin a bearing.

Anyway congrats and enjoy the passion and working on it.

Congrats on the purchase mate, car looks great.

Not to mention a very nice wheel and colour combination.

Hopefully will see more of yourself and the car at some upcoming events and meets

i couldnt bring myself to pay the prices a wrecker was asking for a rag with 20 years worth of stains. considering i spend enough time there, i found Bunnings carries automotive/marine carpet. its not the thickest of stuff but it cost me about $25 and it was easy to cut to size. im happy with the way it looks!

haha yeah no 2nd/3rd gear burn outs being awd. i figure it could take a few gears at redline though. if it couldnt motor would be on the way out anyway haha. some of my runs were pretty close together. im guessing due to the excessive heat/use my clutch didnt like 6500rpm launches. runs were mostly consistent all night though. will go back out when i make more power!!

It came from a good home and it's gone to one too. everything is always for sale by the way.... and your brother was a tough man to bargain with!

beautiful car.

They are in fact work vsxx in 18x10. The offset would be in the 20s somewhere at a guess. The stickers have worn off lol

[cav33r]

[WantGTR]

i need a hardpipe kit. good choice with the black joiners, looks like its supposed to be there.

[WantGTR]

The blue joiners just looked out of place in the bay. Also looking to do the intake pipes as well.
