I received my strut brace and brake lines today. Thought they were pretty.

Not real CF unfortunately :), but it does only weigh 1.2kg

And along with the reset of this crap I should be sit'n pretty.

Going in for the stainless kermit intake piping soon. Hopefully next week if kermit is ready :D

No sticker HP this time but now the R needs rust repaired on the rear guard, bonnet and bar resprayed.

I've been putting that off for too long :D

Say Hi to your mum for me :D

brace was from Perfect Run. DCS carbon fibre model.

Cost was $201, although my conversion of Y18500 using www.xe.com came to $195 but oh well. Shipping was for 2.7kg which included the brake lines and it came to $59.

I just relised that i hate the look of the rear of a R32 GTR, so as i cant pass them, i may aswell drive one to save me from looking at it!!!

What im looking for is a really really clean and tidy STOCK 32 with low kilometres. If i cant find one, i wont buy one.

As for my take off against Paul, was he trying at all or not really??

Oh, nice floor mats Tom. :P

I though so too, with the Nismo twin it should feel more like stock.

Hate the 32 rear end? Its the nicest of all 4 main Skylines :domokun:

Most of the 32 GTR's coming out of Japan are the 1994 models which are Vspecs with the BBS's and the Brembos. As for low km's and stock these are your best option, obviously, but you can never know if the Japs run the clocks back a few 1000 k's. Just look for a Grade 5 on Prestige or whatever...

Sorry for the hijack...... wait a minit!

Tom do you mind stop hi jacking your own thread!

thank you!

Interested to see how your clutch goes though. Bringing her out to next wanneroo night?

p.s. Have to have a look at fair pricing on GTR's to. May just be a bit more than i want to pay.

Probably not too soon, I have insurance for both my cars (I bought a MKII Escort last week) and credit card debt (the clutch money) and owe my parents like $700 still so maybe later in the year. Should have the high power floor mats in by then too :( (she needs a vacuum)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
