  1. Hi there,

    I am looking to go from the MAC electric boost control solenoid to stock boost solenoid. I managed to find an stock boost solenoid. All the guide says now to go from Stock to aftermarket electric & couldn't find anything that goes vice versa. sorry if this has been asked million times :( ... can I just remove the MAC & connect the 2 hoses in with the power connector ? Thanks!

    My speedo decided to shit itself like an hour before I was due to take the car for a roadworthy. Lost that spring in the rush and ended up ripping a spring out of a lighter in my panic and just making it work. Only needed it to last an hour or so, but fast forward a few years later and it's still working, so I haven't touched it. bahaha

    Ha ha ha.. That I could give a try.. So the spring is the culprit? U got a sample pic of the light u used.. I could try it out.. Thanks

    Did you have no H3C plug on your headlight sub harness ? On the projector headlights you need this. Plugged into H4 main loom then splits to the H3 high beam and H3C low beam. Still available, about $40. You can then get rid of the ghetto headlight wiring.

    Speedo, I'll have to look into it.

    You Sir are a legend.. ?

    No it didn't have a harness for H3C. 

    This is exactly what I need... Thanks mate.. The high beam hasn't work since I got the car. My e this will fix it... 

    Please do. ?

    Ok the R32 projector headlights low beams are H3C on series 1 and H1 in series 2 - both are H3 on high beam. The H1 low beam adaptor is infact a separate part - 26067-52F00. It is discontinued but is in stock from Terrafirma and eBay.

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-Skyline-R32-GTR-GTST-GTS4-Head-Light-Connector-Assembly-26067-52F00-/123562676564

    Problem is that if you have an early series 1 light that has the low beam projector H3C bulb originally, I don't think the H1 adaptor fits or clips in into the original H3C bulb retaining part on the light, even though the H1 bulb does locate. I have both here, I'll have to check.

    Thank you for help Mate...mine is a series 1. managed to get around it. Cut off the HID Connection and I will manually wire the H3C. Put it to test, works fine.. And the H3C sits perfectly in the projector. Just need to do the proper wiring.

    Now I am working on the speedometer.. It doesnt work.. The dash seems fine.. However the below plastic piece doesn't have a spring at the end to connect to the speedo cable.. The last image with the spring is from Google search. Any Idea where I can find one?

    Did you ring them?

     

    Ya, they were friendly. If I have coilovers I have to get an engineer certificate and get vehicle modification inspection done. I might as well put a stock suspension and get ID Check done. Don't mind leaving the stock in. Any idea where I can get one? 

    As the vehicle has been previously registered I may have to get an exemption of compliance or check with the previous state where it was registered and get that info. Not bad

    Been there, done that, as I said elsewhere/before. Engine conversion required full inspection. The blokes who do it are not silly, and they know the tricks, and they know the rules, and they will only be a little bit flexible on some of them.

    I've seen dipshits go back 3 times.

    Engine & most stuffs are stock & matches the PPSR :) .. only the Coilover is aftermarket..

    1988 cars and some very early 1989 brought in under 15 year old rule before axed did not get compliance plates. Only vin. 

    What year is it ?

    Yaaa.. thats what I have gathers so far... this is a 1989 car & compliance in PPSR shows 1989 was the year of compliance.

    if it gets called in for an actual roadworthy inspection after the ID check (which I would expect!), then;

    Horn, demisters (front and rear), all lights everywhere - must be working.

    Seatbelts must not be frayed.

    ECU must be stock.

    Numberplates must not me bent, cut or otherwise modified (and this probably won't be an issue on an unreg car!)

    Seat foam must not be collapsing and dandruffing the floor.\

    >100mm ground clearance everywhere.

    Must be above minimum eyebrow height at all 4 corners.

    Brake performance will be tested on their brake tester rig.

    Steering mods (ie HICAS lock bar) will be looked at. And failed, if present.

    Probably more.

     

    U reckon ? 

    I will get it close to stock as much as possible. don't want to get defected later on for something minor, being these cars are cop magnets..lol

    Ring the place that does the inspections.

     

    Metropolitan Adelaide

    Metropolitan vehicle identity assessment station
    7 Naweena Road
    Regency Park SA 5010

    Phone 8400 8777

    Open 8.00 am to 4.30 pm Monday to Friday. No appointment needed.

     

     

    Doesn't mater where it was previously registered. These are the guys that will make or break your day.  It has to go through there.

    Coilovers won't work with them, but you may as well ask yourself.

     

    Will give them a call. Thanks Mate!.. 

    The mechanic said Its cheaper for me to get the coilovers adjusted to legal limit and get an engineer certified. Rather than changing it to stock. I don't mind both.

    Definitely need id check. They aren't the same guys that do the full inspections, but they won't let obvious modifications through, can't have loud exhaust etc.

    Ring them and ask re missing plate. Is it an import?

    Okie. it got coilovers, turbo gauge & got few chassis rail bend due to forklift..exhaust it not loud, apart from that its all good. 

    I was told it was on storage for few years here in aus. probably grey import 30 years back, maybe has taken part in 1990 bathurst :D lol..

    ring who ? it was previously registered in NSW though.

  11. Hi everyone, I have purchased a R32 GTR that was unregistered. the previous owner said it was registered in NSW 6-7 years ago. Did a PPSR check and it came clean, the date of compliance was more than 30 years ago, last registered state was NSW & currently unregistered.. I could only find the VIN number inside the bonnet, which match the chassis & engine number, couldn't find the Compliance plate anywhere but the PPSR check says its compliant. I was told by my mates that I need to get an ID check done to get it registered in SA. any help is highly appreciated. 

    Thanks!

    Yuh, but spending $100k on fixing/playing with a GTR <> it being either worth $100k or selling for $100k. Arguably, if you spent $100k all up and then sold it for that, you would be in the very extreme minority of people ever to come close to recouping what was spent on the car. Only those cars that have super appreciated (old Ferraris, GTHOs, etc) would have stood much chance in the past.

    Regardless, I still think that if/when R32 GTRs are selling for that much money again, it will be almost exclusively to Americans and we will never see that car again.

    true... looking at the current ausi market, people are quite desperate to get their hands on an GTR. as R34 has gone above 100k easy. & R33 does not have any significant history & looks wise not the best. people are opting for R32. I had a seller advertised one for 57K in VIC & we agreed for 55K, he came back next day saying his partner doesnt agree on the price and increased it to 67K. I see cars close to 100K on carsales.

    Depends on how damaged they are. My bro-in-law has a performance workshop where they have done many minor repairs, pulling out some dents and reshaping a bit. But if they are pounded, then you will need a decent chassis/crash repair place.

    I can point you to either, in the northern 'burbs. My favourite crash repairer has actually recently been doing exactly this to an R32 GTR that had been treated really badly.

    It seems quite bend and pushed inside all though the rail. not broken. someone quoted me 1K for it. how-much should it cost worse case scenario ?

    Won't happen in a good way. Any GTR that sells for that much in AU will be leaving our shores.

    u reckon. I am just getting started.. just finished rebuilding the engine, new racing clutch, new hoses & turbo pipes redone.. engine side all done.. next have to fix the freaking chassis rail damages done due to forklifts... by the time I am done.. gonna be expensive..
