Red Stuff pads are superb, low dust and very good braking
4 Wheel alignment I had done on our car at J Day Engineering, very good service highly recommended.
Thanks for the recommendation, I finally got the wheel alignment done today at J Day Engineering. As you say they offer a great service and are a nice friendly bunch of people. I took the stock specs along incase they didn't have it on the Hunter system. They don't as it happens. Toe angles required very minor adjustment front and back. Front camber and caster isn't adjustable as stock but they were both ok being close to the extremes of the stock settings. Rear camber was adjusted as it was running slightly too much negative camber so it's now at the max of the stock settings.

I haven't had a chance to see what difference it's made yet as the weather was appalling so I was driving very gently.

Try RH Specialist Insurance. I had my 93 "K" Reg Import Eunos Roadster insured for £195 fully comp, that included breakdown cover! It was a classic car policy limited to 6k a year

Thanks for that. That's one more name on the list to phone come renewal time.


A bit late notice but I'm off to my first show this Sunday (June 30th):

http://www.yeovilclassics.co.uk/index.html

In aid of a good cause so hopefully it will be a good turnout.

Hi guys. Nice ride firstly and funny enough I was rim shopping when I came across this forum. I imported a R32 Gtr 2 years ago in exactly the same color. It came with Yokohama Advans and I recently fitted R33 Gtr wheels t mine. My wheels were done over in titanium silver and really looks the part but not in as nice condition as yours to be fare.

It's been a while since I've posted, I've been extremely busy. Done a couple of shows now which have been good fun.

A great way to do the Air Day. No hassle with parking and about 100 yards from the display line. biggrin


I'm going to be at "Classics at the Castle" in Sherborne tomorrow as part of the Classic and Sportscar tour organised on here. Should be a good day out.

I have a similar car to this. 1991 Gunmetal Grey R32 GTR. Only mods are nismo gearnob, nismo floormats, some ghetto exhaust, Nismo air filter element and Nismo S-tune coilovers (although it's on it's standard suspension in the photo). Have owned it since 2011 and love it to bits smile Gets track use about once a year and has done a hill climb.

The real R32, so glad to see these things being posted here, not a load of Golfs.

As lovely as your car is, and as much as I do love the R32, I don't think the R33 wheels suit it at all.

See, i would completely disagree.... i think they give the car just a little bit more visual drama without looking blingy or being to big. In fact i would go as far as saying they suit the car perfectly.

A small very update. I've started a new job and I've been really busy over the last couple of months so no recent pictures. I'm still on the look out for a set of original wheels in mint condition.

It passed its MOT a couple of weeks ago, again with no advisories. Result!

The insurance this year now I'm 25 was £480. Even more of a result!!!
