thanks risking, I will keep them in mind too if covercraft cant do what i need.

Remember, if its not on, its not on.

Seriously though there has been a genuine Nissan car cover for BNR32 brand new on Yahoo for weeks now :action-smiley-069:

mmm that could be an option...

covercraft has just got back to me. he suggested 3 different covers:

one is $380 and is a 4 layer cover

one (noah) is $408 and has a micropouros layer in the middle of the 4 layers.

one is $566 and is a really thin parachute like material but with silicone in it and is 98% water proof, scratch proof etc.

I've had the thin waterproof Covercraft one for about 3 years on one of my cars.

The car is outside under a tree all the time & besides fading from black to grey on the outside, (the inside is still black), it is still 98% water proof.

The only problems I have had is that I had to take it to a trimmer to sew on some straps with plastic clips that go under the car to hold it on in the wind (had to chase it down the street the day after i bought it!)

Also, the stitching has only just begun to undo in the elastic where it rubs on the tyre all the time.

OMGZORS mannn, youze are all pewfs!!!

seriously though just get a 50-100 buck one, no need to go overboard

remember its only a 32GTR we arent talking about bentleys and lambo's here, a cheapish one is not likely to "ruin your paintjob" :blink: almost 600 bucks for a car cover?? :spew:

  • 1 year later...

i went soft of the whole car cover issue. but from what I found out the covercraft ones seem to be the bees knees. I would go for the $410 one with the extra middle layer.

if it means anything i bought a kenco one a few years ago, i have used it on my 4 last cars and it worked perfectly.

fitted nicely, but if it was outside and windy.... you were almost best leaving it of because it moved... it only has one strap on it.

but if your looking for one when the car is inside, then just get your regular cheap ones, they dont scratch and if they have anything on them that might scratch... just cut it off.

the one i have is just a thin 1 layer thing, but its not like a tarp its a very soft fabric. perfect for inside protection.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
