Hey,

I’m Ben and I’m 18 and live in Brisbane. I’m extremely into skylines and im looking into buying my own r32 gts-t in the next 2 weeks and joining you guys in the sau community.

I will be buying a stock r32 so id like to get a body kit (amongst other things) for it, what type of kit should I get the Price isn’t an issue. If u know any websites, which has a variety of kits, I can look at please reply with the URL or the name of one that you like for me to look up.

Thanks in advance

Oh ok cool.

Will you be going performance or just making it look good.

Putting a bodykit on it straight away will look pretty strange on a stock r32.

Maybe go for some wheels first and then a bkit then concider lowering it. Theres a certain order of things you need to do sometimes.

If the engines stock what do u need a short shift kit for :dry:

You should do the engine up a little bit before shit like that.

Full exhaust system: Larger diametre dump pipe, Headers, New cat, And a full cat back with a new muffler ;)

Pod filter and maybe cold air intake,

Boost controller and crank the boost up on the stock turbo to about 10 - 12 PSI

and a new BOV.

Thats just what id do if i had a gts-t but im not allowed one :wave:

Ask people on here about what the best brands and prices are and where/where not to go.

Also things like gear knobs and steering wheels arent to great unless you plan on turning your car into a boyracer, But its your car so go hard out :wave:

Your exaust system controlls your car emissions.. If you know how an engine works then you will know what the exhaust is used for.

Pod filter or air any sort of intake filters are your source of air induction, Again if you know how an engine works you will know why you need air intake.

Boost controllers set the amount of pressurised air being put into the engine from the turbo.

A compressor bypass valve (CPV) also known as a compressor relief valve is a vacuum-actuated valve designed to release pressure in the intake system of a turbocharged car when the throttle is lifted or closed. This air pressure is re-circulated back into the non pressurized end of the intake (before the turbo) but after the mass airflow sensor.

A blowoff valve, (BOV, sometimes hooter valve) does basically the same thing, but releases the air to the atmosphere. This creates a very distinctive sound desired by many who own turbocharged sports cars. Some blowoff valves are marketed with trumpet shaped exits that amplify the "psshh" sound. For some owners this is the only reason to fit a BOV.

Hope this clears up some things

i bought a stock r33 and built it up myself. trust me it isnt cheap and it never ends. if you can your way better off buying one in good condition but already with a kit youd like. Talk to steve69s@f**khotmail.com he's got a sweet r32 hes looking to part with but hasnt advertised yet.

dont get a kit without rims, it'll look totally stupid, and u'll get no "respect" wat so ever, which is what i think ull be wanting.

get kit and rims and suspension at the one time if possible. kit wise id go a do luck kit, with prolly some do luck rims if ur after look. then ull need it re-sprayed.

then exhaust, caus itll look ghey with a kit, rims, suspension with the stock exhaust.

then pod filter. boost controller & aftermarket computer. then some slotted rotors, good pads & decent fluid.

thats how i went with my R33, which ill tell u i had BEFORE i got my licence, and now im 19 and have an R32 gtr thats almost finished being built :ermm:

oh, and dont go driving like u stole it, caus u being inexperienced WILL crash

Why does everyone think a pod filter is better than the standard intake?? There have been countless tests of these filters and the winner was always the standard intake with an aftermarket panel filter!!

And the BOV is going to draw too much attention so if you can afford it, get the Stealth from GFB as it can be hand-switched between loud or full plumb-back settings. If you get an exhaust, do it right the first time and get good quality dumps from the turbo, an aftermarket cat that won't restrict the flow and a good solid cat-back exhaust that is legal!! First thing they look for is the BOV followed by the exhaust!!

Depending on what you want first here is a list of the common things to change to get it up to a beastie in the order I did them (sort of anyway).

Air Filter

Exhaust

Shocks and springs and pineapples

Strut braces

BOV

ECU (computer)

Boost Controler

Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC)

Fuel pump

Fuel pressure Regulator

Spark plugs Timing belt and water pump

Went back to standard BOV

Brake booster stop

turbo

Coming soon (or later)

disc rotors

injectors

HD sway bars

You may want to make it look good first, that is up to your own taste, I'm quite happy with the look, but the bonnet with the wheels was a great improvement and I dont have plans for anything else, whatever you do DO NOT use fibreglass for a front bar or side skirts, it just doesnt last.

    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
