^ 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

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
