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

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
