how much have u got on yours??? i really wanted an R32... but planned to buy once once my VL project is back on the road and looking nice again ready for selling :D

my mates dad is a car wholesaler so if something good comes in i can usually get it VERY cheap hence why i jumped at the Calais Turbo cause ide be getting it cheaper than a nice looking NA VL... i woulda gone thru him for a nice silvia or r32 but they dont come thru very often as trade in's to many people sell them privately cause they can fetch alot more...

Yep, up to 87 is the S1 Pinny looking front end but trust me, many have had these changed (like mine) so best to ask.

Manuals are hard to come by but do exist so look out for a manual would be better and make sure it has an LSD diff (if its important to you) as not all do. I had to change mine from single to LSD but was factory manual. Also bear in mind, wheels are hard to get in the offset with 4 stud.

Also look for one with an RB20DET ECCS, many has NICS engines and even RB20ET's etc.

Other than that they are a great car, I love mine and as they are different they attract a lot of attention. Everyone told me to get a 32, wanted something different and haven't regretted it for a day.

Mine is a S1 that had a RB20ET factory, thankfully by the time I brought it there was a silvertop RB20DET sitting there, phew!

Yer they look ok, prefer the S3 with projectors, mine has the new front end with the old rear, perfect combo, but then I am biased :verymad:

Don't forget the S1 Passages that were equipped with the RB20ET powerhouse :huh:

Even S3 ones were. But obviously not the only choice of motor, given you could have anything from a diesel to a RB20DET ECCS.

a mate just scored one in mint condition minus an engne for $1500, we just spent the weekend transferring his silver top rb20det into it...

S3 Ti front on this one, i got the S3 taillights and Turbo centre garnish of him....

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
