Welcome!! :)

Yes insurance sucks for 18/19 y/o....

1900 per year for me..

$1,900 is cheap, are you crazy? I'm 21 with a pretty clean driving history, and for me to insure the GTR fully comprehensive was $3,500 with Just car or $3,800 with Shannon's. Famous said it wouldn't be more than $3,000. Pfft! It's BS I tell ya!

By the way Kylie, it may be a good idea to put aside enough money for an engine rebuild before you start spending money on mods. I speak from experience....

hey how are u all goin?? my names kylie im 18 years of age.....and im a childcare worker!

5months ago i bought a R32 GTR 1989:) its all stock atm but when the money starts rolling in again it wil b getting work done to it! i would like to keep it as orginal as possible thought:P~

anyway im new to this site and thought i would say hello:)

hope to see u all around:):)

ill get a pic of my car up there very soon:)

Hi there!

Well done on the new aquisition, the R32 GTR is a great car (I'm sure I don't need to tell you tho').

If you haven't had the advice already, I suggest that you leave the boost at factory until you are ready for a turbo upgrade/rebuild, the ceramic rear wheels let go pretty easy especially on the older GTR's. Mine let go at 11psi just due to old age. Keep the power levels down below 400rwhp once you do mod it or you will find the old grandad of a motor will die very quickly, leaving you with a rebuild bill of greater than $7k (stock). Having money in the bank for a car of this age is probably smarter than modding it to begin with as well (I'd put away about $5k as an emergency fund) and allow around $2k or so per year purely for mechanical up keep.

There are plenty of great people on these forums if you ever need advice or more often than not sympathy when your car breaks down. lets face it that's performance car ownership.

have fun!

Nice work on the GTR, although they can be pretty pricey if something lets go inside the engine. GTR's are getting cheaper and cheaper nowdays and still look agressive in standard form. Nice work on the insurance that is very cheap. I still havent found a quote under $3k although mine is not exactly stock standard. meh.

cruise... mmm must see if we can organise something soon. keep your eyes looking at the events section and you will know when something going on.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
