  1. not sure about the rear seats but R33 GTR front seats will fit in an R32. Not sure about cluster.
  2. I don't think so because it does it even when the car hasn't been left for very long. For example, the day I bought the car it started fine driving it home then I stopped and got petrol and it took a few goes to start it again.. Most of the time I just "blip" the throttle as soon as I finish cranking the engine to make sure it starts fine. If I dont give it any gas it will either 1) Revs climb to 200-300 then loses revs and engine stalls 2) Starts fine on its own 3) Car splutters at very low rpm (around 100rpm) trying to keep running but sounding like it will stall at any minute (I end up hitting the throttle to bump the revs up and then its fine and idles normally)
  3. hey Gordon, what do you mean "R32 GTS-T clutch slave cylinder in GC (with temporary actuator pin.. suit replace for leaking one) - $20" ?? thanks
  4. blind_elk- Is this engine running aftermarket ECU? (if its making power, then it probably is). No, still running factory ECU. What is the fuel pressure while cranking? Fuel pressure (according to gauge on regulator) while cranking is 60psi (which is what it is when its at idle). Pressure drops back to zero if engine doesnt kick over. Does the water temp sensor for the ECU work? Not sure how to check this?? I ran a check on the ECU and it came up with 55 (all clear). Does the AAC valve work properly? Not sure, will look into it. Does the Cold Start Air valve (under the inlet plenum) work properly? Will look into this also. BH_SLO32- It's got a 550hp walbro fuel pump. Thanks for the replies.
  5. hey guys, I've just bought an R32 GTS-T and it's got a starting problem. The guy I bought it off told me that sometimes on cold mornings when you first start the car it sometimes takes a couple of tries to start it. He said it was because of the aftermarket cams not always being in the right position or something to kick over and it takes a couple of goes before they are in the right position? Now I dont think he's lying to me because I know him and he was honest with me about eveything else about the car, but it could be that he is wrong or mislead. It started fine driving it home from his place after I bought it and has done so on a few other occasions but most of the time it wont start first try (and not just cold starts) and so now I just give it a bit of gas when I kick it over to "blip" the revs up and it will then hold idle and be fine. What happens most of the time is you kick it over and the revs start to climb like it would normally but then the engine dies at around 200-300rpm.. but if you give it some throttle it is fine. A mate of mine said it could be my starter motor?? I really have no idea, especially about the whole cams thing so I wanted to get some info from you guys. The car has a bigger fuel pump (I dont try starting it till it finishes priming itself), an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and possibly bigger injectors (previous owner believed this and my mates say it would have to for the power its making). Not sure what other info is relevant, could it be something to do with the battery, I'm not sure how hold it is and havent had it tested? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm hoping it's not anything major!!
  6. thanks for the reply, turned out to be nothing! Not sure about the lack of heat shields, bought it like that.
  7. hey guys, chasing some factory floor mats for an R32 GTST (2 door if it matters). thanks.
  8. Hey guys, I'm after a steering wheel spacer for my R32 GTST. It's currently fitted with an autotechnica wheel if that matters. Let me know what you got (size, price, brand etc) thanks.
  9. is that red a factory colour? what do you mean by 'soon up for sale', when?
  10. hey all, looking at buying a 180sx with an rb20det, tacho moves but is inaccurate (was going past redline when it would've only been around 6k) didnt take any notice of speedo but i think he said it's inaccurate too. Just wondering if anyone here knows how hard it is to get it to work properly? My mate put an rb20det in his 180sx ages ago and apparently it was going to be a bit of a mish to get the tacho/speedo to work properly?? Is there a simple way to get it to work properly? The car I'm looking at has an R32 gearbox as well. Also the odometer doesn't work at all.. not sure if this is from when they did the conversion or not.. This problem is one of the reasons my mates think i shouldnt buy the car so I thought i'd try and find out if it's as hard to fix as they say.. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
  11. yea of course you can do it but you'll probably need S2 bonnet, front bar and maybe guards as well.. do a search its probably been covered before.
  12. Hey everyone, sold my car so getting rid of the stock cat-back exhaust. Came off my NA 1993 R33 GTS-4, done around 90,000kms. As you can see it looks pretty ugly, might be good for clearing defects or something? Stock exhaust is extremely quiet!! $60ono, pick-up only.. Can take more pics if you want.
  13. Hey Col, thanks for the reply. I didn't get to see your post before I went up but as it turned out the seller works in an industrial estate and there are a heap of mechanics in the same street as him. Took it to a place called RJB Auto's and they said they'd have a quick look at it and put it up on the hoist and had a good look under it and were very thorough. This was just before 5pm on a friday afternoon too! Was very happy with their service! Good blokes! Oh yeh, and they didnt even charge me anything! Where is your mate based? If I ever look at another car in brisbane i might get his number off you. Cheers.
  14. hey everyone! might be going up to Lawnton to check out a WRX tomorrow (Friday), just wondering if anyone knows some good places near there where I could get the car checked out before i bought it? any help would be greatly appreicated! cheers! EDIT: Sorry, just used my brain and looked up yellowpages.com.au so got a list of some places in Lawnton I could take it to.. still any input would be appreciated! Thanks.
  15. where abouts in nsw are you? why are you selling if you've only just imported it? how roomy is it for a tall driver compared to your r32 gtr? thanks.
  16. What year model is it? Thats a CA18 model front isnt it?
  17. I didnt see them show the silver AE86 drifting into the pit entry, that was awesome!
  18. Skyline 1 - Gate 0 Sucks about the damage to your car though..
  19. PM sent!
  20. I had my car checked out today before my mate bought it and the mechanic was saying how well built the car was, especially the suspension design and how superior it was to any of the commodores up to the latest model and even the SS models! I don't think he'd looked under a skyline before and he was an old bloke so probably seen a lot of cars in his time and he was definately impressed with the quality of the skyline!
