Do you have any pictures of the R33 GTR wing? What part is damaged - the blade or the uprights?

Clinton and I will be there - this was a great cruise last year.

We put a RB25 into our R32 by using RB20 brackets with RB30 (VL) mounts - it bolted straight in no problems.

Where is the fuel leaking from? Is it the end section that the fuel cap screws into or is it the hose that connects the fuel tank to the cap? I have all of these parts so I may be able to help you out.

I have a pair of genuine Nissan ones that are in very good condition that you can have for $100 - refer attached pictures. Please PM me if you are interested.

I will take the Nismo fuel cap - please PM me your payment details and contact information. If you will be a texi tomorrow I will pick it up from you then.

Something else to think about is that the GTS-T is 4.3 and the GTR is 4.1 - what affect will the ratio change make to your car? Another option is a GTS4 diff - this uses the GTR housing drive shafts etc with a 4.3 ratio but a viscous instead of mechanical LSD. All of the suspension arms are interchangeable between GTR and GTS-T with the exception of the ball joint that attaches to the GTR alloy upright. The other difference is the oil seal on the GTR drive shaft is different to the GTS-T one which requires the GTR housing to be machined to fit GTS-T drive shafts oil seal. Bottom line question - what is wrong with your current GTS-T diff and rear end? If it has not broken why change it and increase your unsprung weight? We have spent the last 6 months playing with this exact issue with our R32 that is running a RB25de from a R33. We have settled for GTS-T cradle and diff, GTR uprights with GTS-T hubs and drive shafts. Net result will be minimum unsprung weight and overall weight and with the power that we will have we should not break anything.

That is one serious bit of kit. It will be good to see some pictures of the car once it has been fully assembled. How quick are these compared to Neil's car?

R33 GTR rims make good track rims - strong and light. Just pick up another set and then use the best 4 for street use and any with gutter rash for the track.

Normally when your headlights are on the air con and other dash lights are dimmed automatically. Could it be that when they complienced your car they changed the headlights and the dash now thinks the lights are on all of the time and have the dim setting as a result. How you fix this is another question - just another option to investigate.

I have a set for sale here in the Gong for $60 that are silver. One is in good condition but the other has been over a gutter and will require a fiberglass repair. Please contact by PM for details.

I have a set in good condition that you can have for $100. I can provide pictures of them on the car if you like.

I am aware of another Silva rally car that is being build buy a local SAU member in Wollongong "yld34t". Toby has a background in rallying Datsun 1600's and it is a natural progression to a Silvia with a SR20DET with their recent admission to the regs. Parts are readily available and the SR20 will provide plenty of performance. One of the challenges is that rally tyres only come in up to 15 diamater and although wheels are available fitting Skyline four spot front brakes inside these small rims will not be easy.

We have been playing with this mod in a R32 for some time (months) without success while we have been trying to understand the problem. With a R32 the GTR drive shaft is different to a GTS-T and GTS and has a oil seal pressed into the upright where the GTS-T and GTS simply run a thing that looks like two disks in the same place as where the oil seal fits into the upright. We are now heading down the path of having the GTR upright machined to replicate the GTS-T one and hope that solves the issue.

On myR33 GTR I could buy three of the front boots from my local Auto 1 store as generic boots and had to get the last one from Nissan. = 3 reasonably priced boots and 1 expensive one. You should be able to at least get 3 generic boots to fit your R32 - good luck

It is amusing when I am in my GTR as cops seem to be attaracted to it for some reason, often chucking a U turn to follow me. They then follow me for a while as they are probably running some checks on the car. Then they pull up beside the car and when they see an old dude with a grey beard driving it they just leave me alone and drive away. Some times it is good to be old!

That is correct - the drivers door controls the car where the passengers door is a stand alone unit.

Complete car sold to me - track car here we come.

Checked out the car today and picked up some parts. As per the pictures it is in good condition with a lot of good parts available. Call 0400 944 944 to speak to the owner - nice guy to deal with.

You have PM.

I have been around that track in a go kart and that was great fun so it would be unreal as a drift track. Wish I lived a bit closer to be able to attend.

You have PM re Hyper Rev Mags

I recently had a guy from Novis remove all of the fixed glass from a R33 shell. The side windows are glued in the same way as a windscreen with a few plastic lugs in the window that locate it in the shell. New rear side windows cost more than $500 each from Nissan and good second hand ones are hard to come by. They must be removed correctly to be able to be used again. Check with some of the wreckers on the forum to see if they have any - and I would have it professionally fitted to ensure that it does not leak in the future.

I would be concerned that an oil catch can could not cope with that level of pressure. Have you thought of using a "in line" water filter to catch the oil? It would be designed to do this job and cope with the pressure, they are quite small and come with a button to release the water.

I will take the Yokohama Advan A048 off your hands. I also live in the Gong and I will give you a call tonight to arrange pickup.
