I've read the thread your talking about Andy....My thoughts....until I actually see with my own eye's a VQ35 powered M35 Stagea drive past me with NSW registered plates I would not even consider the option....and even then I would probably try to stop the guy and chat about it. I am not saying that the VQ35 powered cars are not a good thing either. IMO this whole debate on compliance is a load of bullshit. Why can a 350Z, V35, Maxima and even the Pathfinder get compliance but the VQ35 Stagea cannot. I watch shitbox mitsashitty's and falcodores blowing smoke like there is no tomorrow driving though Sydney eveyday and there no complaints. Then on the other side I see a Toyota Prius that is firstly no where near as safe and by the end of it's life cycle produces more of a carbon footprint....WTF. Bureaucratic bullshit. P.S. Sorry I have this shits that CRUD has just sent me a letter saying here's $900 for doing f**k all. Don't get me wrong the $900 is great, but does it really stimulate the economy???? Or is the whole country just about to fall over again?

if you want to keep your speedo reading 40's

looks like a dolphin grill

About 5 to 8 working days. Turbo only takes 3-4 days.....the modified bits take a bit longer. I am also still waiting for my final invoice on this to confirm all pricing.

nup....cannot help you....never seen it before.

yeh the motor will be fine.....I am not really doing anything but giving it a good tune....except for the 18PSI tune....but then again I may not have to use 18PSI if the guy that built my turbo is right. as for the tranny....I am going to up the pressure hopefully so it simulates a shift kit.....mind you I think the gearbox may have already reprogrammed itself as it shifts at the blink of an eye when you get into it now.....even bounces it of the rev limiter once in between first and second so theres no drop in power....sounds awesome to. Have you sorted out wheels for your car yet? Was thinking about what would suit Gold the other day and came across a Gold AR-X at a circuit in Japan with 19" dark satin gold finished wheels looked hot.....similar in color to the wheel below. If you are changing wheels and you are going to upgrade your brakes make sure you check you have enough clearance. If your local I don't mind stepping out and trying it on my car for you.

I'll be glad to do the shakedown while you losing the kg's to fit in the seat....lol

nup wont be done until July sorry...blew my budget on the turbo and a couple of other small problems....I can tell you what I am after though. Standard kw's is about 140-145 at the wheels.....standard boost is 15PSI. Currently without a tune and the standard boost setting I reckon its about 170kw's at the wheels....but this is all happening at above 5,000rpm. 10PSI - 170kw's - 180kw's at the wheels 15PSI - 210kw's - 220kw's at the wheels 18PSI - 240kw's - at the wheels PS. These figures will be with the Haltec

mate...this is gold....the only other reason I am visiting Motorsport on SAU at the moment is this thread. Setup is awesome so far....keep it up. P.S. Something about the R32 's still stir's the blood.....doesn't matter how many R33's, R34's I see...the R32 is still the shit.

yup...original equipment.

hmmmmm!! food for thought!

cool

then there was this shot...some guy in W.A. I think.....20" wheels

I have 19" Lenso with 245/45/19....tight fit though once lowered. P.S. Red line is going this weekend as per the second pic.

Was looking at this grill a little more....there's two parts to it is there not? Part on the bonnet and the grill? Or am I being Captain Obvious?

Are you talking about the stickers for 4k? ....If so I might just redraw them and reprint them myself....lucky enough for me we have a brand new 1600 x 1000 flatbed digital print at work....need to do a test job on stickers me thinks! Would like the headlights....but....1K!.....I don't need them that bad.....might just make some carbon eyelids instead

Anyone found out how much or where you can get the Nismo Sticker set? I am half way through redrawing it in illustrator but it may be easier just to buy them.

Have driven the exact same R32GTR both with and without ABS my preference is no ABS...sure I could go deeper on some corners with the ABS but the balance/mid corner speed of the car was shot.....maybe I'm a bit old school but I don't like computor stuff trying to help me. P.S. Would give my left nut for traction control in the wet sometimes though...lol!!!

nup no pic's.....they are Thule....model number I don't know but if you drop in there they will be able to show u the bit's they used to make it up....fit up looked pretty good....not bodgy in other words.

There's a Thule(or watever it is) distributor in Artarmon...they have done both mine and Andy's.....price was about $360 from memory. Roof Rack world in Artarmon...Dickson street me thinks

bit more of an update....forgot to add this....you will need to machine off about 2mm of the hub.....don't worry it does not affect anything.....but if you don't do it it will rub against the rotor.

theres a How To for an upgrade to front R32 GTR rotor and Calipers. Pretty easy and quick upgrade....you just need to get some large inner washers made. The other problem is if you have the Stock AR-X rim's the will not fit after the upgrade.....good reason to change wheels ....If you have other rims I don't mind meeting up so you can try one on my car to see if you can fit them over the callipers. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/M3...l&hl=brakes

sorry...not tonight....hope to get there soon though

will do when it's done

lol. Both of them on track at the same time......music to my ears.....I'll bring the decibel reader lol
