looks stragiht and clean man, congrats!

bit Rancho spec tho, needs slamming

haha yeh im gunna dump her at some point :laugh:

gotta get the guards rolled first, it already scrapes at the back whgen i go over a bump at speed :S

Heres some interior/engine pics

can see the door handles need to be painted.

need to get stereo in and off my bedroom floor

air con vents need replaceing, no biggie, going round scrappies next week.

left over tinting needs to be scraped off

had some floor mats in there but i took em out as they were ugly plush grey skyline mats :S (wts :laugh:)

steering wheels for sale as soon as my brand new MOMO jet comes from japan.

new gear/brake boots will be ordered as soon as seller gets back to me :D

im gunna move the turbo timer to beneath the stereo, it keeps falling down (any ideas to make it stick ?)

also need to grab a lighter lol, dont smoke, but it looks daft without it :S

engine bay doesnt look great but once i get oil catch can in, a new aluminium radiator ovwerflow, heat shield for pod and a good degreasing, that should clean it up until i can afford to replace all the lines and get some stuff painted/podered

also i was under the impression that 89 - 90 R32's had blue guage cluster, does that mean sum1 has swapped them round in my car ?

haha yeh im gunna dump her at some point :)

Really!, you sure its the guards and not the exhaust?

Could even be your rear suspension setup is too soft and lower = stiffer, that will fix you up shmickington steel :D.....Now that I read it back, it sounds unright! :laugh:

good stuff, cheers for comment :(

NEW PICS ! :(

one of car on street, second is my mate taking photo of paint haha, excuse quality, camera phone, plus dirty black paint :( the nnother car pic. (needs a wash :S )

very nice car, and what do you guys mean by getting your guards rolled ?

if you run your hand around the underside of your wheel arch, at the body line, you will feel that the sheet metal turns 90 degrees and follows the curve, sticks out (in) about an inch.

edit: and thanks ! :D

got some of my new bits on. my dad is bringing home brackets for my catch can today aswell, but im still not 100% how to plumb it to an RB20 haha ( any help there ? ) pic of gear knob does it no justice, thats not dust in the "NISMO" bit, just light reflecting back and forth. ill have to get in back seat and get a pic in focus so you can see how nice it actually is. will wait for my new boots to come though. (gear shifter and handbrake boots :) ) steering wheel is mint, im soo happy with it :D and of course the radiator cap, im pretty sure the box says it adds about 3rwkw, but its japanese so i cant be sure :)

will get pics of engine bay once my catch can is mounted and plumbed and ive painted and put back my strut bar. i ordered ne wpassenger side air vent today too, interior will look nice once thats here and i put my head unit in. then off to the trimmers :)

cheers sam

yeh will do mate, cheers for comment :)

nice deck bro :(

haha gimme time man :P

i got an alpine 9855R sitting in my room right next to me :)

just gotta pick up some front splits and get it installed.

I've got my old GT-R front/rear brakes (non-Brembo) and factory rims available if you're interested. Not really trying to sell, but a cheap upgrade for you none the less. Drop me a PM if you're keen.

Nice ride BTW - like the 32s in black (although I'm somewhat biased :mellow: )

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
