Wanting to convert it to manual hopefully next week and paint in Panda "Black top" what ever you call it thses days.

Yeh I got it from Nisswreck.

I have the money for paint and manual conversion.

Which will hopefully be happening next week.

Any places to go for a manual conversion and a good place to get it sprayed??????????

Marky Mark from ET can get the conversion kit and install it for me for $2385.

Can anyone get me it done for a better price??? If not then im ok with paying mark the said money as I know he wont screw me over.

Anyway cheers for the comments ppl.

Keep them coming. I hope to be the first R32 Sedan in SA with Panda paint job.

New update to my car.

Getting painted at MC Doyles.

Full respray in Panda style.

Hopefully Mike & the boys can make this look mint like all the other cars they work on.

Costing me a bit, But i am glad Mike went through with me what i ahve to get done and what needs to be done to make it looking nice.

The intrusion bars are starting to rust away, they need to be powder coated and the bolts hilding them in are rusting away aswell. So they need to be replaced.

Anywho. Ryan PM Sent. Cheers.

"66 skyline gt". I have gone from a 4 door 1979 Datsun Skyline to a 4 door Nissan R32 skyline. Alot has changed in 10yrs i have to say.

Yes a cruise is needed, as i need to meet some of u guys.

Maxx: Mike said the same thing about the kit, but i would rather paint the car now and once i have enough get the kit and paint it then. Im in no rush to get it looking VIP or drift pig styles.

I am only 18.

Anywho I say Cruise baby Yeh. But not till I get the white mofo painted and converted ot manual. Will be going to Kansai very soon to get prices.

G'Day Brent,

Should look great after you get your paint job done.

Out of curiosity, what are MC Doyles quoting you for your paint job? Are they basically just painting the top half of the car or are they doing the whole car again?

I need some work done on my 33 sedan soon and was wondering whether they were worth approaching. One of the guys there has a nice black 33 sedan from memory.

Cheers,

Mike

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
