Oosh

But by the sounds of it you CAN help me! So who's good in Melb, south-east preferably... Cheers.

Bump

Edit: Raistlin, I'm sorry for the thread hijack by the way... Actually the Radar units use a CONSTANT WAVE, therefore they constantly emit detectable energy, the majority of it is concentrated in the main lobe which faces from the front of unit. Most are slant-radar and go ~20 degrees from parallel to the road. So you're most likely to detect them as you approach head-on, however, traffic radar is not mil-spec kit so they emit a fair amount of energy in to their side-lobes too, which makes them detectable from behind. Image of radar lobes here, not sure what it's from but you can get the idea, imagine the 0C point facing out from the front of the camera car angled in to the road. Laser, or LIDAR, which is the hand-helds the cops use is only on when they hold the trigger down. So you get far less warning when they target you. They typically have to hold it on you for 3 secs so if the laser warning goes off you've gotta hit the skids QUICK before they get a good reading.

The only thing that can warn you of fixed camera, apart from the signs, is something like road angel which stores their GPS co-ords. Fixed units DO NOT transmit any Radar/Lidar energy to detect they use sensors in the road.

Bump. Will consider offers on manifolds seperately but anyone after the lot will get preference. Also the car had done 178K at the time of the engine's removal.

If they're hear in Oz, preferably Melb, I'll take them. If not in Melb what's the postage?

oops wrong window... post deleted

Am about to sell off the exhaust manifold, so anyone after the "package", get in quick... Just ripped this RB20DET out of the R32 i bought, the engine compression tested OK (~150 PSI all round) but, had what sounded like big-end noise from cylinder 1. Now MINUS Exhaust Manifold (and two snapped studs) - Open to offers. What you get: Block, Head, Internals, Exhaust Manifold, Inlet Manifold, etc. All bolted together in one piece. What you DON'T get: Exhaust Manifold. Sump, Loom, ANY Sensors, ANY Pulleys, Water Pump, Coil-Packs, Spark plugs, Injectors, fuel rail... If you're not sure if a bit is/isn't included please ask. Located in PARKDALE. MELB PICKUP ONLY! And NO you can't have pictures, there's nothing to see!

Something to go on the back of my R32, it needs to be 3" inlet, nothing too loud or massive a tip (i can do without the attention), straight thru, etc. etc.

I've seen several so-called heat-proof paints flake away quite easily too, and your cooler piping ends up full of slightly oil residue anyway, so i can only see it worthwhile painting the outside... RowdyR32's old setup, before he put a RB26 in, looped in front of the radiator but that was the pipe feeding the intercooler NOT returning from it. Sure the intercooler has to sink a bit more heat but a 600x300x76 is pretty huge for a RB20, if you're not going too extreme, and the pipes just before the manifold barely got warm.

If you're willing to seperate I'm just looking for a rear muffler, dents don't bother me but, pics would be appreciated. Cheers.

Because I'm a tight-arse, but if i can't find what i'm looking for 2nd hand then, i guess i'll loosen my sphincter

As an interim i put the spare muffler, which came with the car, on and the difference is amazing. But, with how small the tip is there's no question it's robbing power, it's kind of made me lean towards a better rear muffler first up. So now to find a decent second hand muffler, off to the trading forums...

Seems MUCH better at startup now, but i think i'll give the coil-packs a clean too...

What's the exhaust setup, in case you DO decide to let it go, in particular the dump pipe... Cheers.

Just did the same, immediately better on idle, but the car wasn't 100% cold so the real test will be when i get home and start her up tonight! Will keep you all posted... oh i apparently have newish Denso pump (haven't checked) so hopefully running it 100% wont kill it.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=56650 I THINK this answers your question...

Interested in front and back seats if it's the later model black interior (and all in good nick). Ball park figure of what you'd take for them would be appreciated. Cheers. Edit: Also the driver's side electrics switch array (window/mirror/lock switches) provided none of them are "sticky". Edit 2: Don't need teh switches, A. I have a sedan, B. I think i fixed mine last night...

Location in Melb?

I have the full article too, and the claimed results do seem a little fanciful, but it certainly was interesting. And please, i don't need to be told "don't believe everything you read", i brought this up for discussion for much that reason. Also Gav, your post makes a lot of sense, comparing surface area of the manifol to that of an intercooler (which induces more turbulance too), i can't see these things having 1% of the effectiveness of a good cooler.

Look that might be teh case, but the car came with 3" system, so i'll stick with it. Hmm so we have a couple of schools of thought: 1. Use a high-quality rear muffler... 2. Replace resonator with a centre muffler... Note to whoever was talking about gas following least resitance, while that may be the case, sound propogation is a different beast. They ARE linked, but note same, also gas doesn't all shoot thru the centre it will some will make it thru the perferations and it to the surrounding cavity. Maybe i'll try number 2 first, then try a better rear muffler...

Was trolling around Autospeed, came across this, http://autospeed.com/cms/article.html?&A=0401, and was wondering: a. Are these are available for RB engines? b. If so, has anyone used one? c. If not, would people be interested in them? Plus any general comment/opinions on the idea. P.S. You don't need the full article to get the gist.

Okay, just got a R32 GTST-type M 4-door, loving it to bits, sounds great when you put the hammer down but... ...on longer drives the exhaust drone drives me nuts! The engine/turbo are stock (for the moment), the exhaust system is: stock dump -> 3" front pipe -> 3" CAT -> smallish resonator -> 5" cannon (3" inlet with 4" tip) I definately want something quieter, however in the medium-term i'll be going a 2530 turbo upgrade, so i'm willing to sacrifice some flow but not too much. I'm basically after some advice on good resonators, should i replace the small one or just add another one, i believe there is room? Also what about other mufflers, cannons' are a little showy (read "cop-bait") for me, i like twin outlets for some reason... I'm looking to get away with less $500 all up, so please don't suggest anything Titanium, big-name-brand, etc. Cheers!

Fibreglass is significantly heavier and less durable than the plastic genuine items.

Since the R32 GTR was sold in Australia, albeit in very limited numbers, there is already an English workshop manual for them. My guess is Nissan Australia WOULD have problems with someone reproducing and distributing/selling that particular one, however, it IS out there in PDF if you know where to look. Edit: Spelling.
