Troubles Selling My R32 Gtt


Recommended Posts

Guest Miss_Nismo

Thought I might try my hand in the SA section, seeing as there are a few other 32's for sale in here.

Baby Luka was born last week, and his capsule wont fit into the 32, so we are looking for something larger with 2 extra doors. But the 32 must sell first.

If anybody here is interested, or knows of somebody looking for a unique skyline, point them in this direction.

First up Congrats.. Enjoy it while they sleep, eat and poo.

They soon become very demanding, we have found the most stressfull period was just before the bubs begins to crawl. They want to get around but can't so they wiggle, squirm and scream. :S

Be sure to set a routine of getting him in to the cot, we made the mistake of letting our little Jordan in our bed when he began teething. Now we are finding it extremely difficult to get him out lol. :mellow:

Having little Jordan is the best thing thats happened to Julie and myself.

Its awesome when he wakes up, smiles, gives cuddles and kisses.

Such a funny little boy.. ;)

The Safe and Sound Compaq fits the R32 well, the only downside compared to the larger seats is you have to spin it around at roughly 9kg's, other safe and sound baby seats you can go up to ~12kg. Not that it poses a problem, 9kg's is damn heavy to slide a baby in to a capsule. :(

Its an awesome seat, nice and soft.

The usual safe n' sound capsule's you can hire don't fit the R32 at all.

It will be difficult to sell as R33's are pretty much around the asking price, ppls do prefer the R33 look. Unfortunately. :(

Believe it or not I found the 2 door easier to slide the baby in and out of the seat in the capsule position.

Fitting the seat up to a usual 4 door where you have to lift the baby over the straps that run to the baby anchor is a real pain in the back. :mellow:

In the 2 door you slide him in from the front. :(

Now the seat is positioned upright its located in the center.

myself and Joel (cubes) got our baby seats to fit in the 32, maybe you got the wrong one? Don't sell the 32 just cause the baby seat wont fit, get another baby seat! hehe!

that or get a nice 4door 33 or stagea as sum1 mentioned

do u still go on cruises u might be able to take it out 1 last time this feb

there is a vitor cruise next month hope to see u there

We actually did have a casual agreement to trade the blue 32 on a 1997-98 Stagea 25tX (the up-spec!!).... seems to have fallen through however.

I now think I have convinced Melissa on the beautiful world of LS1 power, and the boot space that comes with :P

  • 2 weeks later...

Congratulations Mel and Pawley on the birth of little Luka :( If it were possible I'd give you 8hrs straight solid sleep as a late Xmas present... I know you'd LOVE IT!

About the only negative I can see by switching to LS1 power would be the "possible" extra fuel costs... depends on the right foot :D

Did you consider a WRX Wagon, or even a Forester XT? Subaru reliability, excellent load carrying and easy on Mel's back to put Luka in his seat, reasonable grunt and excellent grip wet or dry - nice and safe for Mum and Luka. Finding a good one for the right price would be the hard part.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
