Anyways, I had a few questions to ask, how do i turn off the 4WD light in my dash,wont turn off?? does anyone have any problems wit GTR gearbox/transmission? cause my 1 is much louder once it hits 4gear.. and da transmission in general is noisy.

I live in melb, does ne1 no of a place where i can take it 2 get it lookd at and if possible get it roadworthy? I have to get a roadworthy, as i bought it at a auction. U guys would never guess how much i picked it up 4!.....hmmm... $14,750! dunno wat u guys think but i reckon dats a bargain!

Congrats, and wish you best of luck.

Search for 4WD fault and you might find answers.

Computer in the boot that had light that flashes red will tell you fault codes.

Do a major service and change all oils, engine oil, front and rear diff oil, gbox and transfer case oil and flush coolant.

4 th gear usualy noisy at low rpm for older gboxes(wear and tear).

I hope you have some money left over to fix up any problems that may or may not come up. Just the nature of the beast!!

MAte, bring it to NISMO in Sushine and ask for a friendly bloke by the name of FREDDIE - say KEVIN with the Black R33 referred you... he'll look after you - the only officially authorised Nismo dealer in Australia. I think it's your gear box - needs a check up etc... good luck...

Jump on whitepages.com.au and do a search for Nismo for contact details.

Wow...you must have some balls to buy an R32 GTR on an auction....some old GTR can be nightmares to maintain...hence the term "the GTR ownes you"......this may may not happen to you...good luck though.....

check for compression and leak down test....also full service...hope it 'snot haffing any blue smoke or and the lower bearing are going strong still....

enjoy the Godzilla... :(

welcome to the gtr club

first off you need to do all the cars fluids and get it dialed in on a dyno to make sure everything is working properly, timing belt is cheap insurance aswel. should cost around $1000 maybe a little more.

they will be able to check out your tranny aswel

I took my car to Melbourne Performance centre (talk to Lee, he is a real champ and very helpfull)

http://melbourneperformance.com/

you picked up a cheap car, fingers crossed it is in sound condition as they can be a real money pit, I paid $23k for mine but its an pretty awesome condition for a car of its age.

good luck with your new toy, and enjoy :P

Hey,

Did you pay that price here in Oz or had one landed and complied for that straight from japan?

nice....

any pics....

you just joined, and have posted the exact same thing on boost, are you fishing for something?? do you think we are going to react the same....

Show use what $15K GTR looks like please as i'm about to spend $19K buying one i might have to reconsider if yours is better than the one i'm looking at.....

1 of 2 things happend here...1) you got lucky with a cheap car (doesn't sound like this is you) 2) you paid a small price for a car thats going to cost you a fortune to fix...its been used in RWD mode, obviously for a while, gearbox sounds like it has issues at best....i think it's going to be trouble street for you mate. Start working extra shifts...because its going to cost you lots. Btw "da" isn't a real word and neither are a lot of the other ones you use...grammar is your friend...good luck with the car...and good luck getting insurance as you sound like your straight out of (or still in school) and you won't be getting cheap insurance on a GTR under 25....that 2.5k will probably pay your first year if your lucky though..

I understand this post may seem a little harsh, but i'm a realist.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
