definitely worth finding all the options and pricing before i spent the money! i am getting a leak down test done in the next week to check on the engine health before i even think about buying something

yeah currently making just over 210kw but was looking at stepping up to a bigger turbo/more power but with similar response. i had heard the hypergear high flows where laggier than the TD05 18g kandos?

Looking into getting a kando turbo and recall int he past the internal gates where prone to spiking. I have heard recently that the issue has been resolved. is this true? or am i better off spending the extra on an external gate setup

the fab work looks awesome mate

The headroom wasnt ever an issue for me haha im not that tall . the extra leg room between the wheel on the other hand is fantastic

yeah they were up in the SA for sale thread a while ago. They are heaps comfy and hold me in very well even though they are reclinables. Genuine stuff is so expensive, can't imagine buying the new A side effect with them on the super low bride rails is my shoulder now sits below the window line haha... makes traffic driving a bit more challenging

Brides and nardi in. next up for interior is fix broken trims, gauges, and a better gear knob. safe to say decent seats really transform the driving experience for the better

Re registered the 32 and after a few grumbles from not being driven for over 2 months (still started regularly) we got it to start. New plugs and a set of Splitfires in and it ran well. Immediately went for a test drive. after only driving the 3cyl power house that is my daily this was a bit of a difference! During its time off the road i purchases a pair of genuine Bride seats + a nardi. will post pictures of these at some point soon

did you grab the RE01s new or that used set i saw up? either way how do they perform/ road noise? also size?

yeah currently the rear end resembles a cleanish drift car...and the front end is fresh 2 pac paint also the colour match isn't perfect haha. just eats at me. so now the next question is keep it blue or full colour swap? if i kept the blue i want a similar colour but more metallic. for any colour i don't want custom i want a factory colour so it easy to get more of if need be

cant wait to see what results this yeilds!

yeah the front end is mint thanks to Pearl Factory sadly the rear of the car has seen several track days and 2.5 years of daily life (carpark dings etc). thinking of putting mine in the shed to fix the rest of the body work up to be as clean as the front end...but still undecided

Thanks man! always nice to hear feedback on the car

Cheers mate. i got a photo of you taking a photo of our cars Currently im on the fence about what do to body wise to my car. rego runs out soon and im toying with the idea of fixing the dents and other damage and giving it a full repsray. but not sure if its worth doing...?

Some photos from All Japan Day 2015. all photo credit to the photographers getting it ready. i also got a daily Hopefully now that i have a daily i can focus more time and attention on the 32 for mods, without the rush to get it back on the road to drive to work

ended up with 25mm. 20mm would have been what i was after but this is what came up effective front wheel size is now 17x9 -3 haha Probably can drop back to 20mm once i adjust some camber out of the front end

With the front end components painted had having had time for the paint to harden up a bit it was finally time to fit up the front end. went to the car wash and gave it a quick spray off. Fitted the grill + some bolt on spacers to fill out the guards

Spotted an S14 steering rack with new ends and boots for cheap. seeing as there was 20 degrees play in the wheel before anything happened . i also had a mild power steering leak. Rack boots were gone and the ends were fairly flogged. After some research i was lead to believe that an S14 rack was a direct bolt up to my R32's (SPOILER: it wasnt) and should be a 2hr tops job. It took me about an hour to get the old rack out and the new one in. there was just a slight issue with the power steering line fitment... DAY 2 of a 2 hour job As it turned out the power steering lines on a factory NON HICAS 32 are very different to the lines on a HICAS model. NON HICAS both lines for the rack run in front of the cross member. HICAS has one line in front and one behind. luckily the seller of the S14 rack also had a set of Hicas lines and i was able to get the rack and lines in place with some mild modification. Also tried to fit up a clock spring so I'd have a horn. notice the issue? so far not everything was coming up Milhouse. not at all. Went back to the rack and tried to adjust it to close enough before driving to the wheel aligners and i ran out of thread on the tierods before the wheels were remotely straight. (previous owner had extended LCA's and changed tie rods to suit.) I sourced a set of correct length ones and while under the car i noticed this had happened. Day 3 of the 2 hour job I replaced the slave, got the wheel alignment done and took it for a well deserved drive.

R32 Skyline GTS-T Wide Vented Front gaurds +30mm (same size as R32 GTR guards) fits 17x9 -5 245/40/17 without rubbing $100ono pickup from AUSJAP during business hours 4 Westport Road, Edinburgh North SA 5113 0416580223

Likewise interested to hear results. Looks pretty good for a non professional "fun/experimental project"

Last BSMC we did a few spray outs with the paint and had to keep taking it back to the paint supplier as the match wasnt close enough. after the third time going back to the painter the spray out finally looked pretty close. Front end parts with paint Rust spot on roof repaired and bogged

same here! genuine knob or copy? eitherway where did you get it? sick of having a black metal gear knob in the summer

As its a street car i figured it was time to do some cosmetic mods. Waaaay back in mid 2013 id picked up a set GTR guards needing minor repair. i stripped 90% of the paint off them and then they sat in the shed until December 2015. Since buying the GTR bar id planned on matching the paint as it wad close but by no means a match. while i as at it i kept an eye out for a bonnet and grille. I found a bonnet from AUSJAP. had several dents and dings in it but the price reflected it ($250). I tried to find someone with a ute or simialr to help me pick it up but to no avail. Here is how i got it home. Safe to say i got a few looks ont he drive home. Started to strip back the paint around the dents so that i could hammer/bog where needed to get it back into shape. uncovered holds that show it previously had an N1 lip. . My plan for the front end was to do as much prep as possible and supply anything needed before giving it to a professionally painted. i spent a few days getting it as close as possible but some of the crease dents proved extremely difficult for me (first time doing any real panel beating) So i sent it off to Pearl Factory to finish the prep work. Shortly after this was the result. Meanwhile i was busy working on the front bumper. i managed to source another bumper so that my car did not have to be off the road for any length of time. as a bonus this bar did not have any cracks in it to deal with . The hardest part was inside the vents I Pulled the guards out of the shed and test fitted them up to the car. looked mint good fitment and no ugly vents thought to myself why not roll them when they do't have any paint on them bad idea. note to self Alloy is very soft. to get the wheels to fit up right i borrowed some spacers from mates. finally effective wheel size to get them to fit.... this si with a 245/40 as well at this point i sold the guards i had had for over a year and set on the hunt for another pair of un modified ones...

Cheers man, amazing what a few weekend work can achieve!

Went to another track day and shredded tyres. then the next one came around i decided to save some money and not enter. Instead i went along with a mate and filmed the day. First video i have ever filmed/edited of cars.
