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 :)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
