As the title asks, how many GTi-R owners use the scoobynet forums

WizzBang

Almost, managed to find a good westie before I could find a good GTi-R, so I got one of them instead.

I am.Had it nearly 3 years now,lots of mods.

Another GtiR owner here, currently running 276bhp @ 0.95 bar with slipping clutch at Powerstation the other day. A lot of people diss them, usually cause they have't driven a correctly setup one with the correct mods. I have nothing but praise for them, except for the gearboxes!

My Dad has one.

Wizzbang - you didn't sell a red one a while ago did you?

Yes Rich I did, is your dad still happy with it. I got bored without one and had to buy another which Ive just got.

Mine just made 333bhp and 290lb/ft on 16.5psi.Just need an oil cooler now as I've done the suspension and brakes and a bit to the engine.

me :) Standard engine wise, running 0.65bar - wheels and suspension soon to be changed tho ;)

Memski-what suspension are you going for?Can't reccomend highly enough the powerstation bumpsteer kit with or without other mods.

So what's the deal with GTiR OC then?

Cos I've found it's non-existent compared to the RSOC and SIDC. I know the numbers are less, but I want to get involved with a club.

Try 200plus club-loads of gtir owners in that and lots of evnts organised throughout the year,first show at Donny tomorrow.

The main gtiroc is based on yahoo groups (emails) and is mainly a technical resource from other owners (it is VERY helpful 'cause there aint that many owners out there with experience with a car this complicated) with seperate groups for meets etc.

Rich, has your dad done anything to the R at all or had it on a RR ??

WizzBang

He took some of the stereo out cos it's not really his cup of tea, and is looking at some gauges for the car.

What about your new one? Spec etc?

91 H Black, 16" BK wheels/Falkens, Mongoose exhaust, Pipercross airfilter, 1 Bar boost, HKS BOV, HKS AFR, Height adjustable suspension, Cusco front and rear strut Braces, Adjustable top mounts, Skyline R33 frontmount intercooler, HKS plugs, Short shift kit, Whitew side repeaters. Proven 280BHP - 260Lb/Ft

Think thats about it (only had it a week)

WizzBang

Oh and its quicker than the red one

REGARDS EVO400 aka dggtir300 .
p.s. have full engine for sale SR 20 DET £1000 ono complete

You're clutch will definitely go then at 1 bar.Sounds like a good suspension setup planned.I went for the adj konis(I do 50/50 country and dual carriageway)with whiteline kit,bumpsteer kit and strut braces with several polybushes.Best results got from bumpsteer kit though.Car is like a go-kart now-I'd imagine yours to be even more so when finished.

I've got a 92 black'un.315bhp kosei seneka rg's.a lot more bits,but cant be arsed typing

I wanted the Whiteline handling kit on too, but finances won't allow :( So you noticed more of a difference with the bumpsteer kit? Cool, made the right choice :D

Will probably have to get the standard clutch replaced soon anyhow so might still go for the 1bar upgrade if I can avoid going on boost :o seems to slip on 4krpms as power comes on then grips and pulls you away.
*makes mental note "Leave lead boots at home"*

What Powerstation's bump steer kit consist of then? How much? And can you fit it before fitting the whiteline kit?

Rose jointed track rod ends which are raised(I think)and a few bolts.Not much really but it's not what you get it's what it does.

Neil,

Yeah, my Dad absolutely loves it!!!!!

And don't worry, he takes good care of it. With my brother and myself both owning cossies, he's been taught how to look after a turbocharged car!

Not a slow one either is it?!!!!!

Hey Skid, got my Tein ha coilovers soon to be fitted, alongside 17 Oz superleggeras (couldnt get hold of 16s :(), and I'm due to go to Powerstation in a couple of weeks to have the topmounts set up, and the bumpsteer kit added (and maybe even a bit of 1bar fun and frollicks whilst I'm there - or maybe not... my clutch slips even on standard boost :o)

Heres a pic of my Teins: http://www.btinternet.com/~whiskyowns/DSCF0178.JPG
