  1. Stereo and climate control dash surround $20 Manual gear suround with gear boot $20 photos? do you have a stock RB20 crossover pipe?
  2. R32 gts4-r is running great with gt-r frontbar and grill finally finding their way on the front.. waiting on an oil cooler, clutch slave and master and a brake master (urgh) before i'd call it 100% . R32 gts-t got dynod at 128 RWKW, not bad for a stocky RB20 .
  3. R32s are awesome, of course you are protective ^_^. Sounds like the transfer case, may need some more fluid. Get your mechanic to check it out (common problem in R32 GT-Rs I believe). When it gets very low it will make a sloshing sound so I don't think yours is serious if much more than normal so don't stress. The other possibility is the clutch engagement but without being more specific on the sound I would be inclined to think the first is what you are hearing. As opposed to Walbro, Nismo, stock fuel pumps the 044 doesn't keep fuel pressure when car is switched off (I forget the exact reason). With that pump all you need to do is let the fuel line prime for 1-2 seconds before you crank the engine. You'll learn to hear the sound when the fuel reaches the fuel rail.
  4. Are all these people saying they have done that, run their engine after dropping whatever in? Jesus :S.
  5. So 330mm and a padded centre. Thanks guys. Ya this is my fiance's car not mine . Quick release is a possibility I will consider. The car is staying strictly legal as it gets driven a lot and she's a worry wart about such things too .
  6. Do you have resistor pack with coilpacks? If yes i'll grab the coilpacks.
  7. What options are there for steering wheels in R32s that are legal? My fiance is very short.. and I am quite tall and with the stock steering wheel in a position that is comfortable for her to drive, I can't physically get into the car ^_^. The simplest solution that doesn't involve moving the steering wheel up and down constantly is to simply get a smaller diameter one. However I am led to believe that any steering wheel with exposed metal that is less than a certain diameter is not roadworthy and can be defected. Thoughts?
  8. - RB20 or 25 crossover pipe w/bov mount $10 I'll take this. Assuming mount is still factory?
  9. Stock crossover pipe with factory BOV mount?
  10. Fuel pump. Walbro can be had for 155 delivered.
  11. Nobody?
  12. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_VG_engine Lachlanw: note in that list the VG30DET Most of these turbos are way too old now to be really seriously worth considering without a rebuild. In which case aren't you better off with a Ball bearing turbo?
  13. - Rb20 crossover pipe w/bov mount $10 still available?
  14. You don't think the reason why the majority of really fast drag cars are auto might be somehow related to this . I just got my auto GTS-t dynod and my first question was why does the power shoot up so fast then level out then start looking like a manual. Torque Converter. Auto's are much faster off the line.
  15. The question is.. is there any functional difference between the two? as in running a GTS-4 master but a GT-R slave would leave the clutch engagement at the wrong spot? Or is it simply a difference in the mounts? I'm certain the GT-R and GTS-4 masters have different ratios.
  16. Apparently the GT-R reo is different to the gts-t . 0432 948 508
  17. Also spotted this car numerous times! Great looking machine.
  18. Silver 4-door at mobil service station on springvale road early yesterday morning . Wanted to say hi but was already late for work ^_^. Yellow 34 with plates I couldn't read going around the super round about at Flemington rd meets Elizabeth
  19. Case in point I completely disagree with Ash on that one rofl. http://reg.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/climate/chan.../timeseries.cgi Pretty hard to say with certainty looking at that.. that the globe is currently cooling. Although you might have a tiny bit of evidence to suggest it may not be warming as quickly.
  20. Jeez i'm getting sick of eating all this popcorn lawl. Just to put a small point in here. It is certainly 'common' knowledge that what nismoid is referring to re: the pointlessness of trying to do it legally. I have several _real_ friends who have attempted the engineer option and have then been defected for those very items. It definitely does happen in Victoria (I don't know about NSW) and has been happening for longer than 6 years. The police are, to the best of my knowledge, very aware of this. One particular member of the force being well known by almost all imported car owners in Victoria, for his brag (and it's accurate) that he can defect any car he wants to. I have also heard from a variety of sources (professional and amateur) exactly what nismoid is refering to re: ADR, that the process is nigh on impossible to complete in Victoria regardless of what the documents say. I also want to agree that the enthusiasts who remain interested in 'imported' cars in the LONG TERM have simply taken the approach of making modifications to the car in a manor which is low key. Victorian police have been known to say things such as 'oh good you have made an effort to do things properly'. Practical personal experience. I have never been defected even though I drive a car with several 'illegal' modifications and have been pulled over numerous times. That isn't to say i'm not prepared in the future to clear a defect if one does get issued... essentially this is the way we play in Victoria for right or wrong. You can try and fight it, and many people have.. and I personally wish you support and the best of luck. Everyone I know who took that path went on to other things soon after . This isn't to say I agree with Nismoid's arguments in their entirety but that I completely agree with the spirit of message he is trying to provide to someone asking a fairly simple and blunt question about _avoiding_ future defects.
