A few on SAU know I bought this GTR32 in late 2004 and it's hardly been on the road due to a fair few events I would have rather done without.

Last weekend I pretty much finished and driving her was a real pleasure. Only a few more very minor things I want to do.

My GTR feels very strong and I'm excited and proud. So I'd like to share a picture or two I took off my phone on the weekend.

Oh and a shameless plug for the Paint shop - Rate highly :thumbsup:

Looking awesome Richard! Can't wait to see her driving around!!!

Was good enough just being at CRD and seeing your face light up when you heard her start for the first time in a long time :thumbsup:

Thanks Kat - yeah I was very excited the day it cranked over. It was good to share the experience. I Looked like this all that weekend :D

Ta Andrew - No dyno yet.

Running the build in. 1000kms down and 2000kms to go. Trip to Shep should get it up there and then back to Jim at CRD for the Performance tune.

She's limited down to about a 3rd of RPM/Boost :(

Expecting 300 - 340 awks on the -7's

I'd put my hand up but I'm not really that good, but on the other hand I probably wouldn't say no if you offered it, that's after getting out of a car that has 160rwkw and getting into a car that's expecting 300 - 340 awks lol

Currently only running low boost. 275kw at all four on 16psi.

Finally got around to ditching my ugly body kit and got a respray. I also got new wheels and got the high boost tuned.

Low boost is 18 PSI. I make 320kw @all4 on Pump fuel. High boost is 32 Psi and I make 380kw @all4 on VP MS- 109.

    • Welcome Leigh. While it's possible someone knows something about your car, there are so many in the country, it's likely they won't. Either way, I hope you enjoy it and find the knowledge you seek here.
    • Welcome!  Pics of GU and 370z? It's amazing how side tracked we can get with life.
    • G'day. More deets on your patrol? Unless, it's in a d22?
    • So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?      
    • Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.
