Going for a Daihatsu Cuore with an Aisin AMR500 supercharger bolted on it lol...give me a couple of months and i'll post it up

Just make sure you have some containers handy to store the screws and clips...it's a pain when you loose them, but yes, it's not that bad, make sure you take your time with it, otherwise, you'll end up loosing pieces and breaking something....never a good feeling lol (I've done this way too many times)

So much love for Edward Lee lol, just spent a good solid hour doing some Edward lee readings...his business is not well liked at all lol...especially those supra owners...they were pissed lol

Just had it checked, it was the air compressor Now does, anyone know where i can find brand new air compressors for an r32 gtr? and if they're exactly the same as the normal r32 gts-t?

I was under the assumption that it was, however, since i haven't had the time to pull it out, i've decided to just take it to another airconditioning place to sort it out As for the AC clutch, it does engage, the whole system is working fine, just not producing cold air lol thanks for the reply mate, I'm having it checked out today, so i'll repost when (hopefully), it gets fixed, hopefully this post will help someone later in the track

Should also Add "Meek automotive," they're also an Evo specialist workshop, located in Sydney

How are your door seals and weather strips? If they're in good condition, i'll take both sides

I'm sure her r34 sedan automatic was supercharged and is now destroying commodores from the lights with her excessive 300kw motor lol

lol, it's not actually listed as a genuine but a clone, but could be right 50k does seem steep, however, it's hard to price a hakosuka clone as there's literally a hand full in Australia Now this interests me lol, since i can't read Japanese, i'm guessing, but is that 268 million yen? If so, i'm guessing that's under 30k for a hakosuka clone?

Interesting posts, I suppose this is one of those topics we should be re-hashing in say 20 years time? lol

Hi everyone, I've been gazing upon this on ebay, and was wondering why nobody has fronted the cash on such a nice Hakosuka? Is it possibly because they're asking too much? Has the car got some dodgy history? Is the importer not reputable? I'm just interested to know, as Japanese cult classics are starting to rise in promience, both here and overseas and simply why this particular Hakosuka has not been snapped up by a keen skyline enthusiast? (here's the link for those of you who haven't seen it on ebay): http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1972-Nissan-Skyline-Hakosuka-2000GT-Red-M-Coupe-/280854798483?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item4164402093 Anyway, thoughts?

the aircon was recently serviced and also re-gassed, so i'm assuming it's not that The compressor does engaged and works fine, what i'm finding is that once the aircon is on, it just blows ambient air, which rises stays at a constant warm heat. It was working perfectly fine prior to my blend door servo motor dying I had an airconditioning place remove the motor and "apparently lock it" in the cold position, which doesn't seem to be the case as for the heater tap? sorry, you may have to explain this one too me sorry lol, not good with aircon

Is that cold as in "Cold" aircon? or just ambient cold air?

whatever happened to this p-plate dreamer? lol No supercharger lol

Lol, i've actually zip tied the blend door to cold already, but i'm still get warm air thanks mate, and i hate to sound like noob, but where is that located lol... i'm just being wary to tread carefully, i've had enough mishaps lately lol

Hi everyone, My blend door servo is still giving me head aches, so instead of trying to sort that out for the 3rd time, I wanted to know if anyone knew how to jimmy the aircon to just produce cold air? I remember reading on a past thread that someone managed to do so by taking out a heater hose or something in the engine bay or possibly re-directing one to just allow cold air to flow? (can't find the thread anymore ) Anyway, if anyone knows anything about how to do it or know's a link of how to do so, that's be great as i'm tired of hot air right now lol thanks meta

Pm sent

Hey everyone, Searching for a front left hand guard for my 1989 r32 gtr as some drunken "un-insured" dick reversed into it. If you have one lying around, PM your price, I'm preferrably after a gun-metal grey one, however, happy to take any colour as long as it's in decent condition and doesn't require major repairs. Anyway, if you have one, feel free to PM or email me with a picture of the guard at: [email protected] or alternatively, message me with a pic on: 0411842942 thanks Meta

you'll still drive it in 40+ degree heat with no aircon lol

I agree with you here, however, instead of just a built motor, i'd be consider other aspects awell, too many people just rebuild a motor for horsepower, throw some rims on and lower it on coilovers, and then leave the rest, it's all well and good claiming to have plus 300kw, but considering even an r33 gtr is on average 15 years old, i'd be looking for a owner who's actually spent the money and time restoring the car's dynamics as in suspension bushings, upgrading the brakes for the power, etc If you look for a car with this mindset, at least you'll be getting a car that genuinely had performance in mind as opposed to a dyno-queen/ drag strip car

hey mate, have you still got your door seals?

have you still got the door seals/rubbers? and window moulds? for drivers and passengers doors?

I don't disagree with the v8 claim, but to say that will ring true in say the next few generations is a statement to be seen? Considering the carby v8's of yester-year are dying out with our parents/ grand-parents generations, perhaps the rise of japanese imports will take their place? do you feel there'll be a strong allegiance to v8's in this generation and the next? or will it be imports and turbo charged variants like the xr6 turbos?

that may be true, but then, consider how many american muscle cars, v8's and high performance european cars roam the streets, it's not about fuel costs, but the enthusiasts value and enjoyment of a car. To most, petrol costs, are just another expense of owning a nice car. It'll be interesting to see if anyone actually does this later on in life, as so many r32 GTR's have been modified beyond the orignal standards, i.e changing the twins to a single and so forth, considering the costs involved and how japanese imports are viewed as performance cars today, i wonder if our generation will view them with the same perception as our previous generations and restore them to that detail? It may take some time to get rid of the whole "it's just an import or another skyline stigma?" the phase 3 is a little different than the r32 skyline, it was exclusively produced for the australian market and for the Touring car championship of the day. Unfortunately, being a mass produced car, the GTR might be tougher to transcend to that level, i can see it being worth perhaps...$50k - 70k in the future, say a couple of decades lol

at the end of the day, they're doing good for the import/ modifying community at large, I honestly enjoy their youtube vids, although some of you may not like them, that's fair enough, but on a reasonable level, they've put time and effort into every project they've gone with and have done so with their own money and/or a little from others, for these guys, it's not profit but for the enjoyment of modifying cars
