Hey all,

On the weekend I was installing a 600x300x76 front mount. All was going well until I put the front bumper back on. I had trimmed the bumper back as required, but that wasn't the problem with the bumper fitting. The indicators / fog lamps on the front bumper (series 1) hitting the intercooler end tanks. So as a temporary measure I have zip tied the indicators in. I need another inch of clearance behind the indicators. The intercooler has been located as far back as possible, and the air con fan was removed to move it further back, but it still hasn't helped. The clearance between the indicators is 620mm, while the intercooler is 660mm total width (incl. end tanks)

Has anyone had this problem before???

Is the series 1 front bar different between a sedan and a coupe? (mines a sedan) or is there a difference in the indicator / fog lamp depths. I have searched the forums and it appears that no one else has had this problem.

From memory; of the last installation we did with such a front bar; everything can stay where it is - you just need to perfectly align the front mount.

The indicators need modification; take them out and get at them with a grinder of some sort. Be careful not to go right through them when removing the plastic.

Thanks

Hey! Same here. Just installed my front mount and the both fog / blinker were on my way when putting back the front bar. I just took the fog / blinker out at this stage. I need find 20mm some where to get it in. I think I will notch out 20mm from the fog / blinker coner.

The front mount is aligned as close to centre as possible with an equal amount overlapping the indicators. I was not sure if the indicators could be cut away as it would be quite a decent chunck. Upto 30 x 40mm cut away.

Hey dude...

I put in a fmic a few days ago and had the same problem, I had to cut a bit of the back of the fog light off, using a jig saw, and then use good thick electrical tape to cover the gap up, and all went well, and fogs still work..good luck, I didnt have to move my air con fan, I just mounted the fmic as back as possible, and trimmed the bar as usual

      Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it

      Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)

      1992 R32 GT-R Race Car

      By bardabe · Posted

      I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email. (+19517081648) email is [email protected]
