apart from fuel ~$60/week, tyres $900 every 6-8 months and insurance, besides modding you gotta watch out for when unexpected things go wrong...

case in point...

clutch left.... -$1200

rotors + pads - $500

exhaust manifold gasket - $ 700

car being stolen and having to come up with $2100 excess .... -$2100

you gotta make sure you got some funnds in reserve all the time, otherwise you left with a dayum nice paper weight....

R32 gtst 4 Door

FMIC, boost=0.8 bar

3" cat back zorst

I get 420 kms of a tank in town and 470 on the highway if I keep it below 100, otherwise i get about 400 a tank if that. It used to be an auto in Japan, they changed it to manual, so I am guessing final ratio is wrong now.

Granny Driving with that consumption. Occasional squirt.

Insurance, Third Party Property with Just Cars is $860 i think

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
