You can afford to raise the height of the car, easy fix for clearance

She drives really well thanks Bobby.

There's a li'l bit of scrubbing on the front tyres, so I'm thinking of lower profile or rolling the guards (which I've been told not to).

I think we might meet at some stage time/commitment permitting.

Again, thanks to all of you guys for support - the more warped it is, my humour appreciates it.

I run the 255/35 on the front. Mine are rolled.

Honestly Terry I'd have the front slightly rolled.

If it's the original paint and guard warmed before rolling there will be no paint flake.

(Resprayed guards and doing them cold will cause that crack and flake to happen)

Thanks for your input to Mick.

So it looks like...

1) tyre change to 35 profile

2) source progressive springs to suit Bilsteins > raise car

3) yet to be considered > guard rolling

Even as a kid, I used to love things that glow in the dark.

One of the things I'd purchased before receiving the car, thinking, "What do I need a glovebox for anyway?"

Not sure if I'll be looking over to the left that much though...

The rack Richard makes it (the R32) feel heavier than what it is. Or the corollary: the R34's rack makes it feel lighter than what it is.

Yes I like its 'rawness' a great deal. The R33 (which was my first GT-R) had a bit more oversteer which I actually liked.

I'm glad that I have upgraded the brakes, rotors, brake lines and castor rods on this R32.

Very well behaved. This is my 5th GT-R.

The 35 profile tyres have now eliminated scrubbing (compared to 40)

Thanks for asking :)

    • The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.    
    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
