Reliability of R-32 GT-R

[Robb]

Here is a tip for USA Skyline owners...
I had my flywheel altered so I can use Nissan 300 twin turbo Z clutches.
No down time for clutch jobs.
Any good machine shop can do it.

Let me know if you need more info on this, I would be glad to help.

Hey that would be cool considering the OS Giken and HKS clutches run for 1500 to 2000 just for a freakin clutch!! Please give me the details!

Thanks!

Cole, you have IMO, the nicest R32 skyline I've seen here in the States. The old-school Volks are what completes it. I was at Motorex a year ago when I saw your car in person. I ended up buying a Supra instead of the Skyline, due to the parts availability issues, but I still plan to have an R32 Skyline GT-R parked next to it someday (hopefully next year) I think the R32 has the most aggressive lines from the factory of all the Skyline GT-Rs and says "muscle car" more than the others. I'd leave it stock (appearance- wise), but that's just me. Regardless, I just wanted to give you props on your tight-a$$ ride.

[Robb]

please forgive any spelling errors.

The 300Z has a larger diamater clutch disc then the GTR. That was a suprise to me considering the power output of a GTR compaired to a 300Z.

The center shaft in the tranny is the same on both cars so once the machine shop redrills the clutch cover holes the 300Z clutch just bolts right on. The machine shop redrilled the flywheel and filled in the old holes.

So now I run a 300Z clutch.

My friend is building my web site for me. Check it out. I am having him change it soon, but it will do for now.

I have allot of pictures to put on there to show me building my motor.

Thank you very much Medici. I love the stock lines a lot but i am partial to standing out of the crowd. Im not saying ill rice it out at all, but just enhance the greatness of the gtr. Thats why my first choice is the www.do-luck.com T2 kit. Its suttle enough to not be ricey but aggressive enough to stand out. I also really enjoy the volks but alas they are the incorrect offset so they are using adapters to work. Which is why i want to change to something with a lip and a mean offset.

That sounds great! I would love to put on an ACT clutch and pressure plate. I loved it in my GSX. Your site has the most extensive display of skylines ive ever seen! I even saw my car hehe! Anyway i had a question about a few pics i saw. One was of what looked like a headlight kit that made it a four individual lights in a slick bezel. I really liked how it would transform the front end! Any idea on how to get ahold of one? Also you wouldnt happen to know a price on the clearcorners i saw pictured would ya? Thanks for any help Robb.

Here a pic of my GSX when i used to drive it on the street (its an auto-x only car now) So you can see how i like to stand a bit.... hehe

[MrSky]

Heres what i did to it... poor baby!

[MrSky]

LOL i just noticed it said racerETTE on the picture! HA! Ummm go racer chicks?! hehe

[Robb]

the clear corners cost around $280! I like them alot but I will not pay that much for them. I tried a set of clear GTS corners but they are to short becouse the GTR has wider fenders.

Those headlight kits are from Australia I think. Sorry I do not know who makes them.

I have thousands of Skyline pix. When my site is updated it will have a better format and more pics. I hope to someday have people send me there stats on the cars so I can add it to there pictures. I hope you do not mind your car being on my site.

Talk to ya more later,
Robb

PS, the DO_LUCK kit is a great choice. I was thinking af replacing my VEILSIDE front bumper for the DO-Luck one.

[Robb]

PS....

It looks like you already have clear corners.(?) What kind are they?
And your GSX looks awsome.
Later,

[MrSky]

Thanks a lot for the help Robb

Man the gts are to short?! I was going to try those next. Dam! 280 is high but motorex wanted 400! So its seems resonable i guess. The ones on my car were made by a friend at www.clearcorners.com There much better than the stock orange but still nothing compared to the aftermarket ones. I also am having him do some wicked sick taillight tricks with LED's also. Heres what it will mostly look like...

[Robb]

That looks cool.
Can you post a close up of your clear corners? I might be interested to get a set if the quality is there. What do you think?

Also I have 2 R32 GTS front clips in stock. Check and see if you need any odds and ends. I am selling them as motor swaps so any parts that are not needed for a swap I can sell separately. Like trim peices.

I used to race SCCA solo 2 series. What class are you running in?

[MrSky]

I would love to take a pic for ya but alas the car is still at motorex. I think the clears are decent but i would rather pay the 280 for factory looking ones. Hey hey about you get me a pair of clears and ill sell you these for 80? Let me know.

about auto-x my eclipse engine is being rebuilt so i havent raced in a while, like 3 months. But yes im in solo2 also!

ill post a pic as soon as i get the car back.

[Robb]

If you get a set of clears, I may want to buy your old ones. When you get a chance send me a picture of them.

Hopefully we can meet up some day with our cars and chat.
Talk to ya later,

[R34 GT-R SKYLINE]

WOW !!!!!! MrSky those tail lights look sweet! I wonder what the people you leave in the dust on the track will think of them?!

[MrSky]

Ya definately robb i will let you know. Did you know where they sell them for 280?

I really enjoy hanging out with other skyline owners so we'll have to meet one day!

Thanks R34! Heres a link to the guy that is doing the lights for me. they dont look as fantastic as his but still very very sweet!
