R32 GTR?

R32 GTR?

Hi all, I was an active member here 10 years ago, had an R32 GTR, loved that car, did basic bolt on mods, made 300awkw, best car I've ever owned! Got a good offer on it so let it go, i know the new owner, he took it straight to CRD and threw 20k at it. Got a proper built motor now, anyway, I've been cruising around in a supercharged LS3 R8, it goes well with bucket loads of torque in the lower rev range but doesn't have that same 'rush' you get from a well tuned GTR ?

So ive been trolling car sales looking st what's around and keeping an eye on prices. Ideally I'd like to get back into a 32, I liked the GUN metal grey one in ACT but it's sold. 

Anyway I'll be keeping an eye on the for sale section on here!

Good luck with your search. Prices have gone crazy and finding a nice clean rust free 32 is getting more difficult by the day.

Thanks short circuit, I'm going to the GTR festival tomorrow going to have a look around and will make a decision if I'm going to 100% commit to this. I just got access to my old account and going through the threads I forgot how often I was fixing things on the car.
But still for me it's the best drivers car I have driven and I really miss it. A couple of mates also just got back into GTR's one bought a 32 and the other got a 34, now I want back the in. If I go ahead my budget will be 35-40k so should be able to pick up a reasonable 32 for that money.
There was one on Carsales, a grey 32 that was built by racepace, but it's sold, that's what I want, hopefully next time something pops up I'll be in a position to buy.

Well, I found a car and brought it home last week. I think it's the best purchase I have ever made, I absolutely love this thing. It's a 1992 R32 GTR which has had a 26/30 conversion and was built with quality parts, the car has been put together exceptionally well and drives like a dream, and to top this off I have almost enough spares to build another car. I have been putting together a list of what I intend to do which is why I started this thread, it's not really a build though more a 'adding my personal touch' to the car. It started today with a thorougher clean, wash and hit with polish, I was going to also wax but I'm not quite happy yet so will add another couple of coats to really smooth off the finish before I wax it.
It did though come up a treat and looks magnificent. I'll add my list later in the thread as I'm going to go and stare at it now [emoji16]

Evo seats in a GTR??

Looks nice man.

Evo brakes are popular in GTR's why not try seats! Lol

That colour is definitely the best on an R32, by far.. ideally the colour I want to get. That didn't take you long at all, no messing around!

Congrats.

Once I had the $$ it was full steam ahead, couldn't stand the empty space in my life and garage [emoji16]
I kept a diary of all the cars I enquired/looked at, it's actually quite a long list. But couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Congrats with Purchase. Never seen Evo seats in a GTR before but why not.
