anymore detailed shots of these cars?

Yes please more pics of the top R32.

Sorry fellas, only took the one picture of the Gunmetal one.

I wasn't allowed into the garages, so this is all I've got of the other 32.

What Turbs going on Matty ?

"Hammer Time"

GT3582, .82 rear with a Tial 44mm gate :D

Tilton pedal box in there?

Was it a pain to fit?

Actually, OPW pedal box and tilton resevoir, master cylinders and bias adjuster cable.

As for it being a pain, im a bit undecided IF it was worth the effort. Havent had a really good drive with it yet to be decided

Pedals themselves were too closely spaced, we ended up remounting the accelerator and clutch pedals on the outer edges of their shafts rather than centre

Had to lop the top 1/3 off the accelerator pedal (as it was way too long)

Had to make a way to mount a throttle cable to the pedal (and for now we're using an MX83 Cressida cable as its the right length.....will get a proper one made up later in the year)

Had to make a bracket to mount the brake light switch (and that just reminded me i STILL have to extend the wires to it LOL)

Some ppl say the interior has aged but I don't see it, classic yet simple dash with great seats and the best design steering imo

Thats it ! What more do you need a/c power windows comfortable seats and rb26 to listen too :) OH , and grip like a mother f**ker !

People who bitch about the R32 interior, clearly have an invalid argument.

As clearly it is the least thing to whine about.

If you bought a car to have a 'nice' looking interior, you'd buy a luxury car.

(Not saying the Skyline interior is ugly)

I REALLY wish I could have gotten better pics of the white R32...it was gorgeous. I walked all the way across the road and across two parking lots once I saw it to take a picture. So sad they came out like that.

I personally don't think an r32 can look as good without the rear wing.

My mate who owned DARDVL had set the quickest top speed down conrod straight at bathurst...anyway, at the time he ran it and hit 285kmh with the rear wing fitted. He then decided to remove it to gain a few km and said that he couldn't push it close to 285km due to lack of downforce.

My point - r32gtr not only looks better with the rear wing BUT it also serves a performance purpose :)

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
