^ 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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
