BANGN

yeh I initially put it in and thought.. "wait.. I might comeback with lines on the bottom of the lamp" needless to say the miss's wasnt overly happy when she saw me using her baking trays to support my headlamps lawl

thanks heaps! worked a treat!

I found the topic.. but nothing in there about using an oven what temp and for how long do you think? just as a gauge.

Want to seperate the glass off the front of my R32 headlamps.. I pulled the clips off and tried to cut around the seal with a razor but the blade wont cut through without putting a mass amount of strength into it.. I have noticed people have managed to pull them off in the past, just keen to know if there is a trick to cutting it off

what exactly happened to cause the fire? bit of a shame! so what brakes are you running now? Im in the process of putting 34/33R rotors on the front of my GTST, just waiting for the brackets now.

slapped them on tonight without the brackets to see how they fit under the rims

just received these should make it stop like a bastard!

sorry if this sounds a bit low to you.. but raising money for someone to pay for something they did not take out insurance for its a bit bullshit. might be more to the story, I dont know but this is just how I read it. We all go through shit in our lives but I dont see why others should have to pay for it I dont mean to offend.

see if I can work this out Rims & Tyres -$1100 Brakes - $1500 Fuel Pump - $240 ksport Coilovers and nolathane bushes $1900 nistune - $950 Gearbox rebuilt $500 Gearboots $30 odd bee*R $300 Mandrel steel Exhaust $450 Seals, Hoses, clamps ect.. about $400 from memory Turbo $300 Dump pipe $200 GTR rear Sway bar $20 (CHEAP CHEAP) Rear auto diff $150 Strut brace for the rear $80 Tint $60 and seals $50 (mate of mine does windscreens & tint ect) Dry ice sound deadner removal was about $150.. Dry ice isnt cheap! Thats as much as I can think of, All the new stuff is below trade price too.. glad I didnt pay retail for any of it duno if I wana add all that up LOL, would be almost 9K i rekn im building a 25 for it next year, still pretty keen to spend more money.

then it was time for a new windscreen and front and rear rubbers then put in new gearboots then one of these under the dash new bigger battery and clamps new pads (ebc redstuff) which I have not fitted yet dba 4000 slotted rear rotors and I have these on order (324mm gtr front upgrade on 4000 dba rotors) also not mentioned yet is I put in a rear 32R sway bar and RB20 diff from an auto for the shorter ratio

cool, thread got uploaded heres some more stuff that has been done Sound Deadener & Rubber removed which saved 20KG I then got it tinted in 18% and painted the calipers and rocker covers bright orange

Thought I would share the progress of my 32 GTST I purchased March last year this is what it looked like on day 1 of ownership. Stock as a rock apart from a FMIC and then gave it a good cut and polish First week I had the car I went to town on it on ordering some new things to make it reliable all hose clamps for water, fluid and fuel hoses all water hoses all pwr steering fluid hoses all fuel hoses rocker cover seals 040 fuel pump removal of hicus crap putting a full brg set through the gearbox cleaned everything up found a cactus brg on the mainshaft in my gearbox which is a common cause for skyline rollover noise So once that was all done I purchased some 32R rims gave the GT badges a polish http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b182/20v...03052009002.jpg installed a 3" bellmouth dump pipe and 45V1 R33 Turbo then replaced a the front end bushes and installed some new K sport coilovers which lowered it somewhat engine bay is now all clean as well as the air con system at the front of the car next bit was to put in a new 3" mandrel bend system and then a nistune done by sean at allstar garage stripped out my boot then I got real, pissed off the 32R rims and went for some buddy clubs more to come!

why does it do that? I always thought it was the clear coat being eaten away by wheel cleaner

f*k they are nice wheels hey

good to know thanks for clearing that up. I have heard of the firewalls cracking with heavy duty clutches too.. lol

People have been raving on about "brake master cylinder stoppers" I have a R32, what exactly do they do and can I benefit from it?

If anyone finds this suicide note, please let my family know after seeing this thread I just had to top myself

do work in Armadale? I have seen this a few times this week. This is Russels old car yes?

Its the computer for the auto, usually placed in the drivers kick panel. Throw it over your shoulder, its not worth shit. this is what the engine computer looks like

Battery in my 32 GTST no longer holds charge so its time for a replacement I noticed with the battery it has its quite small and the terminal clamps dont look that flash. It has never been able to jump start a car with 300A leads either, It had a real hard time once trying to jump starting a friends Suzuki Alto 1.0L. Quite embarrassing really. seeing the factory batteries only have about 300 cranking amps, I was going to get a larger battery and some of these obviously the height and the width is quite important and I don't really want to spent 400 bucks on an optima either. Anyone have any suggestions on what battery I could use and does getting a battery with higher cranking amps pose an issue to burning any relays out? like 400cca?

its dick all difference to pay for 12 months instead of 6 months, just reduces the pain on the pocket at the time. I was just sure I only payed about 219 on my last 32, but thanks for clearing that syfon they must of weighed mine with a few japs smuggling over in the boot

Was keen to see how other peoples vehicle weights compare as I think I am being stooged on my rego, I have had 3 32's now and I don't ever remember paying this much for rego for it They think the Tare weight on my 32 GTST with no ABS is 1378kg, I took it down the wharf a little while ago and it said 1280 after a I removed 20KG of sound deadner and some extra insulation from the car. So rego for 6 months is $243.70

ROFL i purchased a new one for $60, Nissan recommend replacing these every 40 thousand kms.. how many km's has this one done?

lol... because having the correct tool for the job is just silly

f*k sake, get the correct tool for the job!, (what GTRsean said) is it any wonder on skyline box's and diff's the drain plugs are rounded out because people use the end of their breaker bars. If you have the correct tool you will find they come undone with a bit of leverage
