T's R32 GTR

[Alt_F4]

Took the old girl for a decent drive up the coast this arvo and took some happy snaps with the iphone, thought it was as good a reason to throw up a showcase as any.
I've had the car 6 years or so, a 1992 R32 GTR imported fresh from Japan, brought over with nothing more than catback, rims, pods and 80thou on the clock.

Here it is when I first got it... this is also one of the last times Sebs car was seen with rego... yes it's been that long seb... hurry the fuck up with rego already



Anyway... I enjoyed it like that for some time, daily driven +400km a week, probably put 70K on the odo in the last few years.

Then about a year ago had a small accident, I didn't need the car for work any more, so it became a catalyst to take the car off the road and do more on the car.
Replacing bits here and there, completely removing others gets us to today

Goes pretty well, but I have some poncams to go in and looking to change to a midsized single turbo and MAP based ecu early next year.
If all goes well there's hopefully a decent brake upgrade on the horizon after that, but one thing at a time for now...

So clean!

What's your opinion on the hsd's?

[Damo 69]

Looks very nice buddy

[Gr3mlin]

Nothing can beat a clean GTR!

[Alt_F4]

So clean!

What's your opinion on the hsd's?

Cheers! The HSDs I've found pretty good for street, firm but not jarring.
But anything was better than the ageing ohlin/eibach combo I had before.

[Lonewolf]

the LMGT's are soooo much better than previous wheel choices.
Makes good power for simple mods too, OEM looks FTW

[RH8 GTR]

Very clean 32 mate! Looks great with LMGT's on it

Keen to see what you decide to do with it!

[Marti]

Soooo clean, awsome gtr

[Gleeso]

"Nismo style CF Intercooler Duct", not genuine but still a very cool item, and not really heard of.

Always been a fan of the LMGT4's and just simple 5 spoke rims in general, and yours is a fine acception.

"Nismo style CF Intercooler Duct", not genuine but still a very cool item, and not really heard of.

Have only ever seen one genuine one come up for sale on a UK forum, pretty damn rare.
Here's a pic from when I first fitted it up



Good to see everyone else is a fan of the LMs too

[ClevoCapri]

So tidy!
Awsome car mate.

[winstor]

Nice rims!

[180SXTCY]

super tidy r32 mate nice

[Alt_F4]

Had the 32R booked in with OCDetailing today for an enthusiast package and ADZ has done a fantastic job with the car.

Have promised to get some decent photos of the car over the weekend, but in the meantime here's some quick phone pics.

[ADZ]

Very welcome! Was an absolute pleasure to work on!

*First time I've ever been able to polish a car whilst standing in a spa

[180SXTCY]

looks awesome!

one of the straighter 32's getting aroud

[4A10SHN]

Very clean! Love the 32's

[31-EVO]

Now that's how a gtr 32 should look. Love it man

[Alt_F4]

32R's tail shaft has started making a bit of noise.
In keeping with the "if it dies, replace it with something better" theme of modifying, I've got a CF one piece shaft on the way

[NoOg_sTaR]

I like how your signiture means nothing.

[ChrisGTR]

Do you know much about those carbon one piece tailshafts?
I've heard that replacing the standard two piece tailshaft with a one piece can cause vibrations through the car??
Would be interested to see how it goes for you. Keep us posted on what you think.
Cheers

[Alt_F4]

Have had my eye on one piece tailshaft for a few years, have researched the possible pros & cons.
I have read NVH is less of a problem with CF shafts, as they tend to absorb some of the vibration etc compared to a steel/ali/ChMo one.
Will find out if works out trouble free soon enough

[Damo 69]

I like how your signiture means nothing.

hey if the lip service keeps his missus at bay, fair play

[Alt_F4]

Soooo I bought more stuff...

Trust Intake piping


Nismo LSD Pro diff + reinforced bushes


Do-Luck beefed up ignition harness

[SimonR32]

You're doing a great job selling it haha

How much was that Do-luck harness? Mine is fine but I'll eventually have to replace it.

I also like your shaft
