Finally Got My R32 GTR!!!
I finally got my R32!!! Motorex got her legalized in late January, and XS Engineering has had her till yesterday, doing some pretty nice mods on her. They squeezed 508.6 whp out of her. I'm pretty excited to actually have her in my garage!
Just wanted to share...

Nice!
What did XS do to the car? What mods does she have? Is it what you expected?

Re: Finally Got My R32 GTR!!!
Nice, but how about an engine pic?
I want to see what 500whp looks like, especialy sine its well over 650 at the crank. Must be fun getting it to the road through those tyres as well, and out of curiosity, what Gearbox or gear set did you use?

Thanks for the compliments, guys!
Iviadrft: Got the car from Motorex. Paid $31,000 for her. SkylineUSA: Mods include... Garrett GT2530 Turbos 750cc low-impediance injectors Apex Camshafts Dyno Tuned Apexi Power FC XS Intercooler Blitz SBCI-D 3 Boost Controller XS Blow-off valve Apexi Fuel Pump OS Giken Twin-Plate Clutch Koyo Race Radiator Apexi Intake HKS Exhaust, Downpipe On the way, a set of JIC FLTA2 coilovers. Wheels and tires to be upgraded as soon as I know what wheels I want. And yeah, she's exactly what I expected! It's a real thrill to drive at low speeds, but when I really open it up...it's indescribable! Moppie: I don't have any engine pics right now. Frankly, it's quite dirty under hood right now and I want to clean it up before showing it off. The gearbox is completely stock, and the wheels and tires are on the top of the list for future modifications. I broke all four wheels loose in second gear earlier today. I was impressed, and disturbed at the same time. Plan on getting some BFGoodrich G-Force KD's soon. Also, I figured 508 at the wheels translated closer to 580 at the crank? Again, thanks for the compliments people! I'm planning on repainting her sometime in the near future (stock paint is in pretty bad condition) So when I do, and get the engine bay cleaned up, I'll post some more pics. Thanks!

Re: Finally Got My R32 GTR!!!
You would be losing about 25-30%, with that much hp, and the heat it would generate in the driveline, 30% is probobly the most likely number.
Thats 700+ at the crank (so yes I was wrong).

Well, Moppie, if you put it THAT way....I'm not going to argue! 700 does sound a lot more impressive than 580.
 Really though, I've never been good at doing drivetrain-loss conversions. That's why I just posted her wheel hp. By the way, thanks for the offer of picture hosting, my3rdskyline. I get her shined up and re-painted, I may take you up on that. I just threw these up real quick because I was excited, and eager to share. Thanks again!

I've always like the blue, also a rare colour.
Too bad it is de-badged! Something like that would lead me to suspect it was an accident car repainted. I hope not such a nice example from the pictures. What year 92?

Hey Razor, how're ya doing?
I don't think it was an accident car. The frame is straight, and I don't see any areas where the paint may have been redone. I say this because, though it really doesn't look like it in the pictures, there is a HORRIBLE amount of swirl marks in the paint, all over. I didn't care too much when I bought the car, though, since I got it for a good price and was planning on a fresh paint job anyway. New paint, maybe something a little nice with the interior...don't want a show car, but I would like a real head turner. And yeah, she's a 92.

Oh yeah, I've got a full set of badges on order, so she'll be re-badged sometime in the near future.

 Too bad i can't see a clearer shot of the front mount though. What dimension did the use to fit behind the mesh?

Nice power numbers. That should be good for some mid-low 11s.
Very nice list of parts. I will be going with the same set-up, except I will be using the GT-SS turbos, and some HKS 264/9.1 cams. I have a Blue one just like that as well. Its a very nice color. What size cams did they use? Duration and lift?
