  1. have you bent that LHS chassis rail?

    Is the front cross member damaged, often with an impact like that you strech the bolt holes for the lower control arm.

    I hope your handy with the 9 inch grider and the mig...

    look on the bright side, as part of the repair job, you can ditch the factory (and bent) IC and put a front mount in :(

    If you can do the repairs yoursell it would cost around $1000, but more like $3000 if a crash shop did all the work.

  2. Is it possible to use the R34 GTR coils on an R32 GTR?

    I know they are different and the 32 ones use an igniter module and the 34 ones have inbuilt igniters, but are they interchangeable?

    Has anyone done this?

    The plan is to buy a set of splitfire coils so I dont need the 15 year old igniter anymore.

    Cheers,

    Mick

  3. John is a nice guy BUT.......

    he has heaps of timewasters taking up his days and doesnt want to deal with tyre kickers.

    If you like a car on his website, ring him, organise a time to look a the car, take a $500 cash deposit.

    Inspect the car very well and if you like it, give him the deposit. Dont bother trying to haggle, the prices are firm.

    I bought a 32 from him about 6 weeks ago and everything was good, I replaced the front discs and upper control arm bushes then got through regency first time :angry::(:):)

  4. Funny you should mention that.....

    I'm in the middle of a conversion right now

    Costs are

    Gearbox $500 -700

    Flywheel $100 -150

    Clutch $ 200 and up

    Clutch Pedal $20

    Hydraulics $80

    Spigot bush $7

    Interior bits $30

    Tailshaft $100-150

    so approx $1500 plus labour,

    If you could get a drive in drive out for under $2k, you'd be laughing.

    and the auto stuff you pull out is worthless, I want $50 for the lot... trans, tailshaft, shifter etc, but nobody wants it.

  5. I had a similar problem in a commodore a few years back. The head was corroded between a water gallery and oil gallery.

    Since the cooling system runs at 13psi max, and oil pressure is more like 40 psi, the radiator fills with oil, but the engine still runs good with no water in the oil.

    So I'm saying head problem...

  6. r32 gtr would be an easy upgrade, straight bolt off, bolt on. all you need is the discs and calipers. I've got some in my shed you can have a look at, quite a bit chunkier than the ones you've got now. I dont want to sell mine, but you can have a look to get an idea how they differ.

    Oh, and to make the job all that cheaper, I have a mate that would be interested in your current set up.

  7. You'll get a turbo 32 for around 10k auto or 11k manual...

    should be able to get a non-turb one for $8k.

    Yahoo motorsports has a non-turb manual 32 for $6k. by the time you add compliance and rego it'd be on the road for about $7200
