theyre the most fun thing ever around the bends, mine had blistiens adjustables and 265 rubber all round, it hung onto anything.... The thing that made me sell mine was that feeling of clicking top gear and blazing a whole street in a 20 year old bommadore, nothing beats it.

these things need simple mods ... some n1 turbos, fuel pump, power fc and the power will be more than sufficient for the street... one of the best street cars

Yeah they are a nice car , I m in two minds on what to do. 2minds? no ur not u big fat liar! you're greedy... u want power.. and lots of it !! lol just chuck a powerfc in it.. bigger injectors.. gt35/40 (boltons etc), see what can be done with the std motor for now? thats if its got low enough kms and is in perfect nick. coz 99% of R32 GTRs have less than perfect motors as every owner has redlined the f*ck outta it.....

We got no change out of 14k for the rebuild + clutch etc.... costly pieces of shiit those rb26s Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

the thing i like about 32 GTR's is u can keep em fairly stockish, light mods and the power is still awesome for the mods uve done while retaining drivabilty and good handling. I remember on one of the ones i owned all i did was, catback exhaust, boost restrictor removed and HD clutch and i ran 12.6 gotta love that.

I'm just waiting for a neat white one in brisbane...been looking for about 4 months now... I think there just isn't much of a market for them anymore now with the p plate laws etc... It wasn't that people didn't like the car, we only had 3 people come and look the whole time it was for sale, one was a **** talking 25 year old that turned up in a sigma with 3 mates, another one was an old guy that said it wouldn't be reliable enough even though it had a brand new engine and the third guy came with cash and left with the car. Neat ones are hard to come by, plenty of them are thrashed out **** boxes with bent rails, rattly motors and noisy gearboxes, I took my time with buying that one, looked at atleast 10 of them.

yeah i saw you'd said that on your ad, it's a shame I never got in touch with you about that car, like i said...i don't really know why i didn't. i picked up a calais turbo for my brother from sydney a few months ago and it was a ****in terrible experience so kinda off the interstate thing haha had a look at a white one in west end but the dude wouldn't let me get the rails checked out...dodge. gonna have a look at another one this weekend hopefully, he's asking a bit more but it's got a lot of stuff, plates UR NEXT, it's on carsales. so hard to be confident buying one, i'm scared haha take it easy. j
