^ so much love for this car..from memory you have meisters?

i'm currently waiting for mine to come from japan :D

Cheers. Yeah, still rolling on Meisters. Was going to sell them to get something different at the start of the year, but decided to stick with them.

You importing a 32 as well?

On topic, some more pics from the downshift meet

U should bring your front lip back to factory...I think they look best in that low sheen grey. And besides that, there will be no paint to chip and crack :)

Front bar was rattle can painted by the person I bought it off.

Waiting to get some spare cash for a respray and then am planning on returning the front lip to that colour. My wife gave birth to twins at the start of last year, so at the moment there are a lot more priorities before the car even enters the picture, and when it does, it's generally just basic maintenance. Aesthetics are a long way down Maslow's hierarchy of needs

what are you paying for your meisters? Probably the most suitable rim for the r32!

I completely misread his statement as waiting on his r32 to arrive from Japan. Had I actually looked at this profile, I could have seen he already owns one...

I understand your position as I have a 2 yr old and an 8 week old baby...congrats on your twins, that would be very cute :)

Btw - I too have a small 'to do' which has been sitting on the bench for way too long, due to other priorities hehe

Yeh haha i already got the car, just waiting on rims. i got them on special from the jdm concept business listings sale. still an expensive rim but at the end of the day i couldn't pass up on the price compared to what they normally are :P nor could i allow myself to roll around on rota's or some shit :P (no offence to rota owners)

and yeah they really are the best rim for 32's

will be followed by pics in the weeks to come.

That's my old car (kandy red one).

Body has always been GTR spec (front and rear guards, bumper, skirts etc etc.).

Went back to bare metal for a fresh ground up build.

A deposit has been taken on the completed project so it's not mine anymore :(

But I recently bought a white R32 GTR which I'm building for myself. ;)

what is the process in smoothing down an engine bay?

basically rubbing it all back, then welding plates in instead of using bog. my radiator support also doesn't have any holes now. going to hate putting the motor back in along with everything. going to cry if i scratch it

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
