Hey,

Good to find some fellow enthuisiests, hello to everyone. Im new to SAU but not to skylines, have two R31s but am now the proud owner of my first R32 GTR.

Dont know if any of you know the previous owner, Ron Libbis? It was his personal GTR, not one of the hundreds he imports as a hoby, so its immaculate.

I cant get over that I now own a GTR and a very nice one at that :yucky: Im stoked!

Cheers!

I got the first sentence but im not sure what you were trying to say in the rest of your post sorry.

very nice

always good to see another pearl red on the road

ps: try find the genuine n1 front bar they look nicer than the fibreglass one thats on yours

Cool, another burgendy out there. They call the colour by a few different names dont they, Ive heard "wine red" and "burgendy" and just then of you, "pearl red".

I love the look of the original bars but I love this one just as much, oh and its a tommy kiara front bar. Thing I love about this car is I dont have to do anything to it, my modding and fixing days are saved for the 31s :pirate:

jaw drops... oh my god thaT thing is beautiful... good luck with it...what mods?

In terms of engine mods its not far off from standard but setup very nicely with R34 N1 turbos pushing out 270kw at all 4 wheels. I wont say much more than that for now, but shes pretty darn quick....

Cheers!

I'm intrigued with the white engine bay?

Was the car originally pearl red from factory?

the paint is immaculate. i'd say respray at some time for sure, just because of the engine bay paint...

i'd find it hard to believe that the engine bay hasn't been resprayed at some time. there is no way white paint in the engine bay can look that good after so many years....

the external paint could be standard though, it just needs to be well looked after.

The car was originally gun metal grey, and the proof is the rear strut towers as the only part not repsrayed. It was resprayed pearl red with the white engine bay (im guessing to make the engine parts stand out) by the last owner in Japan before Ron imported it.

Cheers!

Oh and I took the liberty of providing the evidence of my owning the car as I know there are a lot of f**kwits out there with a twisted sense of humour pretending to own awsome cars.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
