  1. Check the Air Flow Meter, could be dirty and also the connections/solder.
  2. Edited cause i prematurally replied!
  3. Any recommendations/prices for an engine detailer? Been looking to get it done. Sydney area. Anyone got any after pictures? Thanks and apprecaited
  4. Like a few people have said before me, i wouldn't go for any cheap GTR's, as you get what you pay for. We bought an R32 GTR about 3 years ago and at the time the 18k GTR's of today were 23k then, and soon after purchase ran into many problems and if it wasn't for my Dad being able to do all the repairs/work himself, it just wouldn't be feasable to afford repairs, maintanance, parts etc. He still says, 'we should of spent 30k' on a GTR. After 3 years and lots of $$ spent you still encounter problems like CV joints, belts, brake lines, engine hoses etc etc, not to mention the wear on the engine, gearbox, suspension, etc etc etc. Do yourself a favour and save some pain and buy something decent and do some research into what you should be looking for when buying one. Money spent now will be wisely invested to save you money down the track when the inevitable will happen to an 18k GTR.
  5. Somethings come faster than others, also depends on how many seperate items are in the one order. Are you getting e-mails telling you there's been a delay with your order? Once it says it has shipped only takes a few days after that.
  6. I've had a r32gtst for like 4years now, couple of years ago also bought a r32 gtr and the gtst doesn't compare, when i first pulled away in the gtr it's like nothing i've ever felt, i still remember the feeling. So the short answer is yes, do yourself a favour and get a gtr. I still have both cars, the gtst is my daily cruise car and my gtr is my project car where i pump my money into. they're both silver too. oh just a quick edit to agree to the above reply, maintanance is a key issue as like that which has been stated work will need to be done in most cases. So be prepared to shell out extra cash after the initial purchase.
  7. Not all P platers are aged 17-20. There will be a wide range of ages, so Mercedes are perhaps looking at it from that perspective.
  8. Ahh, the Skyline smile. Enjoy your new ride, looks nice.
  9. Brakes are sqealing on the gtr with new pads and my Dad was saying the Anti-Squeal Shims are gone. Anyone can elaborate on where i can get some more? Just get them from Nissan? Thanks guys.
  10. I got a set of ISC coilovers for my r32 gtst. Had no trouble fitting them, and they feel and handle fantastic compared to my old semi-stock set up. Quite cost effective also.
  11. Enlglish mate, helps your post not to get skipped.
  12. I've gotten quite a few things from them, never had any troubles, sometimes 40% cheaper than i could of gotten stuff over here and that's delivered to your door. Sometimes it takes a while to get stuff, depending on the make/model/part etc, but in the end, you do get it. First place i check for parts now.
  13. I've been looking for one, do they exist? I've gotten the clear cams cover for the RB26 now i'm looking to get a clear coil pack cover to match it as the coils we have on our GTR are worth showing off! Been looking through a few websites but haven't found anything. If any one can direct me to somewhere where i can get this or a manufactuer would be appreciated. Thanks guys.
  14. I bought a 32gtr copy for my gtst from Carmate. Guys were really friendly. Had to do some minor adjustments here and there but all in all i was happy with the way it turned out. Only 300bucks, you get what you pay for and for what i wanted at the time it was perfect.
  15. Thanks for the replies guys. Probably will go for the power FC as i will be doing things like turbo, injectors eventually. Only trouble is if i get one through Nengun there will be a wait, i'm prolly gonna need one within a couple weeks at the most. Any ideas? One other thing, the POwer FC doesn't come with software that will enable you to plug it into a laptop/notebook. I'm assuming some of the others do. Does this really matter? Can this all be done on the hand controller? My budget is around 1500 max. I just want something that will run sweet and is relatively user friendly. edit: Just reading other thread linked about the re-wiring. Looks like that will be the way to go.
  16. Hey guys, Just wondering. It's looking like i might have to get a new ECU for my car, old one has been sent away for checking as they said it could be causing the troubles i've had. Anyway, my question is what would a good aftermarket ECU be for my R32 gtst, RB20 with mild mods, (cooler, boost controller etc). I've been looking at the Apexi Power FC, but don't seem to make then for RB20's as i've discovered. Was also looking at the Greddy E-manage, any recommendations on that or anything else please say. Thanks
  17. Topic title says it all, looking to buy one of these as a replacement for a potentially faulty one. Send me a PM and contact details if you can help me out. Thanks.
  18. Thanks mate, will investigate.
  19. I was travelling home last night up Epping Road and as i was going up a hill the engine simply cut out on me, the stereo, lights were all still working fine, but the engine simply stopped. I was stuck there for about 5mins trying to restart the motor but it was not restarting, and then it restarted, but the revs were well below 1k when idling and if i didn't keep the revs up the engine would stall. Although i could restart the motor after a stall. I haven't really had any troubles with my engine, so was very surprised when this happened. I have an R32 gtst with RB20. I've spoken to some people and i've had, Fuel Pump, Fuel Filter and Angle Sensor. What do you guys think could be the problem? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
  20. My Dad is putting new oil in his gearbox while he has the engine out and was wondering what to use? He rang Nissan but said they were really no help. Could anyone please let me know what he should get, he's desperate to know as he wants to put the engine back in this weekend and wants to get the gearbox oil tomorrow. Thanks guys, appreciated.
  21. As far as i know R32/33 and 34 GTR cranks are all the same. You might have more luck ordering an R34 one. Correct me if i'm wrong.
  22. Hi guys, I am going to be fitting wider wheels/tyres on the back of my R32 gtst. I've been told by the people i've ordered off that i will have to roll the guards/widen/flare or what ever terminology is used to fit these. My question is, where's a good place to get this done in the Sydney area, i would obviously like a professional squeaky clean job, so if anyone could recommend somewhere would be appreciated. Also, any feedback would be welcome. I am fitting 265's on the back. What you think? Thanks in advance.
  23. Looking to buy either a single or a set of R32 GTR Conrods, used. Need for this weekend, send message with resonable price and will get back to you. In Sydney only, thanks.
