  1. Get some good adjustable castor rods. Here's the stockers with offset pins and new bushes installed. And some aftermarket one's, work pretty well.
  2. Best time for the 32, 11.4.
  3. Thanks for the info! Cheers, well better than a spun bearing lol. Got the damn circlip off the clutch fork pin!. What a pain, and I ended up modifying screwdrivers to help get it off. Looked different to the GT-T split pin? arrangement. Unbolted the left hand drive shaft, and pushed the RHS drive shaft out of the diff. Unbolted front prop shaft at the front diff. Also unbolted the aircon and power steering pump from the engine to avoid disconnecting lines. Wish I had a hoist!
  4. Well stock they are kinda like a R33GTS-T with a highflow turbo, and after 5000rpm it's flat. Plenty of torque around 3-4000rpm though. So you weren't missing much! Took the front pipe(s) off this arvo, not standard as it is big, equal length design too. Now I'm going to source a service manual, as I haven't taken a pull type gearbox off before, only push types.
  5. V nice. Love what you've done! a great all round package! I never bothered respraying my 32, maybe I should have!
  6. Thanks Steve! Ha ha, Chris, too late. I just started pulling it apart! I'll be dropping some stuff off to get ceramicoated though! Owned it 2.5 weeks and this is what happens! I didn't want to chance the engine as it has a bit of bearing rumble before it gets oil pressure, so it's coming out. And the ceramic turbs are banned. Taking the engine out to do the work. Crank will get checked and balanced if all good. Some more pics: Garrett 2860-9's (GTSS) Radiator had some trash in front of it! Piping is a bit oily from pcv pipes Getting used to living under these things! This was over two years ago, same shed!

    Hello

    Welcome to the forums! Good luck with your beast!
  8. Ah okay, I didn't know as I just re-used my r32 transfercase as I knew it was tight!.
  9. Welcome to the forums!
  10. Aquired this beast the other week (wanted to get one for ages) and I'm pretty happy with it overall, except at the moment a renault clio sport will stay on my ass at full throttle up to an 80km speed limit lol. Plans are to make a street legal GTR that puts out 300-330AWKW and look the goods in my eyes. It already had bigger brakes, ADR approved braided lines, 100mm frontmount intercooler, PFC, aftermarket exhaust that needs to be changed for something better, extreme HD clutch, optima battery, nismo dash. Everything else is stock. First thing I did was remove the apexi pod filters and adapters, then source a stock airbox and snorkel assy and fit that along with a high flow panel filter. This now makes it legal in NSW on that aspect. Then got some neat white slimline plates to replace the crappy yellow ones. A front bracket will be made up soon. All fluids will be replaced too. Fitted some Rota 18x9.5 +12 offset wheels I had in the shed with 265 35 rubber. Keeping the stock wheels. Here it is before I got it. Previous owner kept the GDZILLA plates. Here's some pics of it now. Have some new Garrett 2860-9's ready to fit to replace the stockers. Stockers are running at 1.2bar, no boost controller. Alpine gear will go in soon too, using optical fibre link instead of RCA's, and some dyna mat. Also may change the big end bearings for ACL race series as it's a little noisy for my liking before it gets oil pressure on start, and change the balancer for a Ross tuffbond....and the rest lol.
  11. Check if the roof has any ripples, crumpled etc (roof is structural). Then check and measure the rear cradle mount points to the front mount points on front crossmember. If the roof is good, and the measurements aren't out by more than a couple of mm ( I doubt it) then it would be repairable. Also the boot floor would need to be bashed out too. Even then like the guys said, all the parts, paint and labour will be $$$$. Looks like it may be worth repairing? Good luck with your decision.
  12. No probs Kelvin, good luck, and supercheap sell spring compressors too unless your mates have some!
  13. Brand new from nissan, one lower lip cost me $470, then a mate scraped it on a driveway a week later!
  14. You can use the r33 transfer case, just pull out the speed sensor and put in the cable drive unit in. Also you may need to switch the front input snout cover to change from push type to pull type clutch as used in the R33GTRs.
  15. Boostin imports, but I'm sure you can get a good deal at CGC too. Basically any Garrett dealer, but shop around! I might be using stock actuators, but may go the reinforced HKS style one's. My R32 had R33N1's, then HKS2530's, so now I chose the -9's for the 34 to have the feeling of the N1's with almost the oomph of the 2530's for the street.
  16. Lol, mine are in my loungeroom! so I can't say how they go yet. I'll let you know though
  17. Change tha damn gasket Floyd!! It sounds like the manifold to turbo gasket has blown out a part of the gasket. Replace with a new genuine nissan one and it'll be sweet!
  18. Got a set of R32 GTR stock springs and shocks, straight bolt into GTS-4. In good nick, $100?
  19. sure doesn't look like one, unless the guards were swapped for GTS-T one's, bonnet was swapped, front bar was swapped for GTS-T also and grill.
  20. Spotted Sloane's silver GTR in the 'car park' today!
  21. Spotted a black stagea with a white R34 GTR front conversion on floodway rd Windsor, flashed lights at me. Nice looking car!
  22. 32 one was too shallow too! The 34 one is a nice twin jobbie! sorry.
  23. Doesn't take much to get 180-200 at the wheels!
  24. Yep, bye bye ceramic turbine wheel! Hopefully the bores are not damaged from ceramic dust. I've seen first hand what can happen to the bores. I've got some new 2860-9's to replace the stockers on mine. Not gonna take any chances! Good luck!
  25. I like this one! And it's for sale! Interior shot off the forums:
