Hey all, I joined the GTR club today with a 1993 R32 GTR, Gunmetal Grey......Bought my first car over 2.0L and first car with 2 turbo's let alone 1 turbo :headspin:, these things fracking boot like nothin' else, 80 in second, WOW!

massive upgrade from my 1.8L non-turbo TX3 :kick: , I am lovin' this thing :wassup:

Will post pics tomorrow, too dark to take any at the mo...

[PHATR32]

hey man, welcome to the club!

i had a laser too but it was slightly modded

[Topaz]

heres a few pics that my mate took last night under Whitfords City in Perth's North...pretty low quality camera tho

[geno8r]

80 in second, WOW!

Really... They dont do 100km/h in 2nd? Rev it more man!?

I know the r33 gtst's do 100km/h @ 7000rpm.

Dads Euro accord is not bad, 120km/h @ 7000rpm

I wish 1st gear was more like 75km/h rather than 50km/h in the r33. I find 1st isnt very good for booting coz its just wheel spin, although if I was 4wd like ur GTR 'u basted lol' I spose 50km/h is fine.

nah welcome to the BNR32 club

[Tommyk]

Welcome

In the 33, you can do up to 75km/hr in 1st, aroudn 120km/hr in 2nd and something like 180-190km/hr in 3rd, although ive never really been that fast

Yeah... if rev limiter was removed....

[PSI_GTSII]

Mines 'totally standard' bar a cat back 3" exhaust and pods and i'm pleasantly suprized at how well it goes in a straight line, should hold its own against most factory cars.

Certainly a big jump from your previous Lazer

But dont get to excited as there not that fast, and theres still plenty of cars out there that will smoke you (and Me!)

And IMHO its not a good look getting smoked in a GTR as generally people expect them to be quick and win...be selective who you race

[PSI_GTSII]

Until of course you have 250rwKW+ then theres only a small percentage of vehicles that will beat you

[gtrken]

Aim to achieve about 450rwhp which can be done with a turbo/injectors/afm/powerFC/exhaust/cams combination.

It is reliable on a good, stock internalled, engine and won't destroy the gearbox/clutch/drivetrain.

Then there wont be too many cars on the road that will smoke it :)

Cheers

Ken

[Topaz]

yeah, I'm guessing some R8 commodores and TE/TS50 Falcons would beat it

but I am not that confident in changing gear fast yet ....feels a bit bumpy in the change too

I rekon the fun thing is letting little excels, lancers and lasers beat you ...and you in the GTR easing up to the speed limit

Exactly my plan

no factory standard R8 or falcon should come close, especially from standing start!

remove the boost restrictor and retune the stock ecu and not much will come close :crazy:
