Not long after that i hit a cat doing 100 km/h and wrecked my front bar. I am very much a "lowered on a nice set of wheels in genuine factory body kit" kida guy, and leaving the terrible body kit for so long had already rustled my jimmies. It gave me an excuse to get some genuine aero. I picked up a standard r32 m-spec front bar, rear bar and rear pods. I think it cost me about $550 from a wrecker in Adelaide. Looking back now, holy shit i payed a lot. Fitted it all up and had it looking ghetto spec for a while. The whole time i had owned the car i had been doing a little street drifting. My intentions were to learn on the street and take it to the track in the future. Anyway the day i picked it up from the body kit getting painted, i put it down a huge ditch and had to get towed out by mate. Ouch, my ego! Learnt how to use zipties! Then i found a set of Lenso D1R's going dirt cheap and bought them. I think they were 17x10+15 from memory, and i had a go at trying to get them under my standard guards, just for lols. Nope. Sold them on to my mate. Decided it was time to buy some decent wheels for it, spent weeks deciding what i wanted and eventually settled for some Boyz CST Zero Hyper in Bronze. 18x9.5+23 front and 18x9.5+15 rears. Ideally i would have got 17's but the 18's ended up being cheaper. All up with tyres set me back about an even $2k delivered from japan. They sat around in the shed for a while before i put them on. I had to roll the guards first and as i said before, im lazy I did dummy fit them just to see how much i had to roll the guards. Eventually i had a crack at rolling the guards, took me all day as it was my first time and i didn't really have any idea what i was doing (story of my life) ended up cracking the paint on one side even though i used a heatgun. I thought i did allright. Around this time i started having trouble with blowby, my dipstick would always pop out if i hit 14psi, took me a while to diagnose but it was a blocked PCV valve, hit it with carbon cleaner and my problem went away. Looking back that was about the first mechanical fault that i had with the car in 9 months of ownership. Not too bad really. Oh and i finally fitted the wheels all good a proper.

Hey all! I'm a bit or a lurker around here so i thought it was about time i chucked up some content of my own! I'm 20 years old and i have loved cars ever since i can remember, used to live in Mount Gambier in SA, but joined the RAAF and have sinced moved to Wagga Wagga in NSW. I always loved 4WD's but when i was about 14 or 15 i started getting into the imports, and wanted to get an s13 as my first car. But my parents weren't keen on my 16 year old self getting a 2 door coupe as my first car and i settled upon a very nice condition Toyota Cressida. I purchased it in Melbourne and did the 5 hour drive back home, at the time i think it had 294,xxx k's on the clock. I knew the 7M-GE was notorious for head gaskets so i picked one up that had already had the head gasket replaced at 250000k's. It remained grandpa spec for the whole time i owned it, did plan or purchasing some R33 GTR wheels but being 17, in school and having a low income job, that proved difficult. The best part of this car was the motorized heater controls, you pressed a button on the centre console and the air con/heater controls slid out so the buttons were exposed, all very james bond style. I finished school then got a job as an IT tech at the school i had just graduated from. The time came that i was now earning enough money to buy the car i had always wanted. I lived a 2 minute bike ride from work so i sold the Cressida on to someone in Adelaide. In the time between buying the Cressida and selling it, my tastes had changed and now i knew i wanted an R32. I loved everything about them, from the styling to the RB engines. Stupidly i sold the Cressida early and no nice cars came up for 3 months, in which i was riding to work in the freezing cold (i know its a 2 minute ride, shut up i'm lazy haha). I finally found a nice car and got some of my mates living in Adelaide to check it out, he said it was all sweet and it would be a nice car. Rang the guy, said i was very interested in it and i would be happy to drive the 5 1/2 hours and purchase it pending a quick inspection, he said no worries. Left on friday night driving my mates car up to Adelaide for him as he left it home over Easter, and stopped overnight at my mates place about 3 hours away. Just as i leave in the morning i get a call from him saying someone came around last night and bought it. f**k. You. Guy. So i was stuck in Adelaide on a Saturday afternoon with no car, and i had to work Monday. Scoured carsales/gumtree/ebay/sau/nissansilvia for anythnig decent, went and looked at one shitter 32, another nice 32, and then a maroon/red r32. It had an ugly bodykit on it, but was in good condition otherwise. Took it for a test drive was sold very quickly, purchased it on sunday and drove it all the way home. How it looked upon recieveing it; Mod's were: Some terrible looking body kit R34 NEO turbo R32 GTR front mount Turbosmart boost tee SAAS boost guage Walbro fuel pump (which turned out not to be true) Viper rims (was never sure on sizes) ISC coilovers 3" exhaust with JUN rear muffler Was running 14psi and making 170kw Had it a month or two and it ran well, and i was loving life being the owner of my shiny new r32. It was my first turbo car and boy did it go a little faster than the Cressida! I did a lot of driving and getting to know the car before i started making any changes to it. The first thing i did was lower it, being a hektik young 18 year old needing "m0ar low" i set the coilovers to maximum low straight away. Rookie mistake, the fuel tank got stuck on the jack so i couldn't pull it out or pump the handle to raise it up. The next thing i did was replace the 3" hi-slow cat with a decat pipe. I f**king love the sound of an angry RB, and even though it was my daily driver i had to have it. At the same time myself and a mate got hold of some 3" stainless pipe and made up an exhaust for it. Being our first time welding it was hacked together, and we made some 3" blast pipes for it. Was never really a fan of them, i think it was because the pipe diameter was too small, looking back they needed to be about 3.5" i reckon. I ended up giving them to one of my mates and putting the JUN rear muffler back on. While we were making the exhaust i drove it around for a week with just the dump pipe on. Biggest mistake ever. My entire dash now shakes and rattles from the vibrations of the exhaust. Protip #1 never do that. Couldnt resist giving it shit though, it sounded too good haha! At some point i got a flat tyre on the front so i borrowed my mates SSR Longchamps and ran with them for a while. This is when i was happiest with it with the bodykit.

I was able to reach mine from the top. I swore i would never do it again though. Blood everywhere.

When i fill through the shifter hole, take out the plug on the side that is meant for filling it and just pour in through the shifter hole and get a mate to tell you when it starts coming out of the side hole, then its full.

Hey mate, have you got that bit that sits in between the bonnet, front bar and headlights?

R34 Gtt Manual Ecu

Hey mate, thanks for the info I can get an R34 Manual box cheapish, but its a pull type, and im putting it into an R32 which is a push type setup yes? It comes with an OS Giken pull to push converter though, so does that mean i can run the gearbox with no worries in the 32 or will i not be able to use it? Os Giken says "This converts the Pull type gearbox to the Push version.Push clutches are more easily sourced". So in theory it should bolt straight onto the neo, and i can use a push type cluch (ie 33 clutch) and i wouldnt have to change any of the clutch lines in the 32. A little confused about all this stuff haha >.<

Hey all, im dropping a RB25DET Neo into my R32 and i just have a few questions. What Gearbox and clutch would i best using? R34 Neo Gbox with a push/pull converter or R33 gts-t gearbox. Also are the clutches different for these? I jumped on the exedy site and it reccomends a different clutch for each box. Also, can i use my current driveshaft but get it shortened to accomodate for the longer gearbox? Thanks!
