As the title says, I'm after a front bumper for an R32 GT-R Skyline in reasonable condition ( don't care about scratches, chips or or scuff marks ). Would very much like one in factory nissan black so I can just fit it without paint. Bumper must have the lower lip attatched and would prefer Sydney sale so I can veiw before purchase. Cheers

Fast31. The simple answer is......so it will last ! Roy, I hear what you're saying and I've had that argument with myself a hundred times but considering what I use this car for ( primarily track days ) I don't want to go through this down time again and at least I'll know what my engine is likely to do whereas a 2nd hand engine is only as good as the last person who neglected or thrashed the arse out of it. I guess the methodology is that a better than stock engine will give the same power with less stress than a stocker.

Joel, Yes I'm going to get the head fully serviced, match ported and some minor port polishing. If I do bring the CR up to around 9.1:1 I'll only be running around 16psi boost. I should still get 200rwkw and that's all I need. ( I must be getting old to say sh!t like that ). Excuse my ignorance but VRS Kit ?? Where does one get one of these to suit an RB20DET ? ( assuming that I'm going to need one ). If I knew exactly what was invloved in building it into a stroker I probably would but all my engine building knowledge and experience is back in the days when I used to play with my BDA Cosworth Escort. God, I am old!

Guys, try the old screwdriver test. What you do is get a long/large screwdriver, with the engine running, CAREFULLY place the blade of the screwdriver against various parts of the engine or on the components bolted to the engine and then place your ear against the butt end of the screwdriver and listen for excessive noises. If you're unsure how loud the noise should be check the same spot on a mates car. Good way to isolate a noise to a certain area. JUST BE CAREFULL !!!

Ah Joel, If only I had the money....... I'm just going to fix up the bottom end, put a set of forgies in, get the sump baffled, get the head serviced and some mild porting including match porting the manifolds to the head. Can't afford to go the stroker and play with cams ect So is the CR 8.5:1 for sure ?? Will help to know this when I go for a head gasket. Not sure if I want to raise the CR slightly and use less boost or continue with 18psi and keep the CR lower or standard.

Fast31, Thanks for the feedback. So far so good with my current direction. Skyrine-Dave, Track work ! Did it at Eastern Creek either through turn 1 at over 200kph or under brakes leading into turn 2. Not sure which and I guess it doesn't matter. I'm only putting out around 200rwkw.

Hi all, As you've probably guessed by the title, my car had a heart attack ( oil surge = main bearings go knock, knock ). Anyway, I have a couple of questions for you all that I hope you can help me with. PLEASE keep the answers kinda serious because I need good info quickly. 1. Has anyone used "Pro Flow" located out west of Sydney to build their engine, head work etc ?? Opinions please because I'm considering using their services. 2. Forged Pistons. Looking at "Arias" pistons. Opinions please ? 3. Sump Baffles/Anti-Surge trap doors etc. Best option, who, where, how much etc please ? 4. Anything you think might be relevant while engine is out ? Thanx

WHITE 32, Yes thanks, still after them. Just never got a message that you'd responded. Just tried to PM you but your mailbox is full. Give me a call if you want and I'll give you the details. Scott 0414-862-626 Thanks.

Almost certain it's the 91 model. In the Gibson / NISSAN Motorsport livery.

Mase, another option is to grab an HKS actuator to suit an RB25 Turbo. They don't allow the wastegate to open until 0.9bar. Purchased from BD4's in Sydney I think I paid about $125 new.

I'm not really sure what they're worth but I know if any of my mayes got a pair ( they import cars ) they'd cost me a case If they're in very good condition I'll give ya $100 for the pair delivered. How's that ?

It's a Biante Classic but I'm thinking maybe it is a 1:18 scale ?!? It's about 7inches long ( about 25cm ).

Very Cool. What sort of money would you be looking for ? Scott.

Thanks everyone but it's now SOLD !

Interested in front bumper if still available. pics to: [email protected] Thanks.

P.S. I'm sorry I didn't call those of you that gave me your phone numbers but I wrote them down and left the on my desk by accident. I will do my best to call you today.

OK, Contestant number 1 failed to call last night so it's still up for grabs. Here's what I'm planning on doing. This Saturday morning ( Sat 13/9 ) I'll be at Auburn McDonalds from 11:00 to about 11:45am with the boost controller so if you would like to buy it just be there with the money and it's yours. For those of you who gave me your phone number, I'll call to make sure you know about this. If there's more than one of you there, the best offer gets it. Scott. bump

GOT EM. Very cool indeed ! Sterling effort P1E. Thanks. ( Thinking about another one )

WHITE R32, I don't have a pic of them but I know what they look like It's not really even fair to call them mud flaps considering they're so little. I'm guessing we're talking about the same ones. They're quite small and mould to the rear gaurds bolting up with the two 10mm screws on the rear of the gaurd. Do you have a pic of your ones ?

ImPrOvIsE and GunMetal33, Sorry, but at the moment I'm only looking for Sydney buyers ( and I've got 5 lined up ). Thanks anyways.

RbHed, It's a twin solenoid unit 100%. However, I've got a line-up of people who I'm trying to arrange to meet to show them this unit and they all seem very keen so I'm expecting that it'll be sold tonight or by the end of this weekend. ( The only reason I can foresee this not selling is if people want to haggle on the price ). Like I said, at $250 it's not gonna last. If you want to put your name down for me to contact you please PM me your contact details ( mobile preferable ). I'll contact all those who've enquired either way.

As the title says, I'm after a pair of those little factory fitment rear mud flaps that come out on the R32 GTS-T's. I would prefer black ones if available. Send me a PM if you've got a pair. Cheers Scott.

Hoping to get mine soon also. If I don't get them by this weekend I'll have to resort to "Doing Laundry"

RedLineGTR, That's the one ! Has a silver blade style push switch on each side and a dial on each side that detent's in when not in use and the green Blitz logo in the middle with the lights to tell you if you're on high or low boost. Feeldg, sorry, I'm not getting the best results from this phone camera. I'll try to send it directly from my mobile.

Actually neither ! I've just had another look at the control unit and it's called a Twin Solenoid Boost Controller ( not Dual ) Sorry about that. I can send you a pic if you like. I had no idea there were so many of these things !
