hey bud... you remind me of me.

took me a while to find a quality stocker. i looked at many 32s from carsales, carpoint, and sau. ended up finding one here on sau. the market is f**ked at the moment, so you will be able to pick up something good for cheap.

you can get a workshop or mechanic to check a car that you think is good. i had an engineer who had worked on r32s check 2 cars. first car was a definite no in areas i had no idea about, second car i had him check was a yes and i bought it. Adrian Lovelace: 0418 336 319. He's in SE melb.

Hey ASh

did you own a White Magna with the black rims. If so This is wes the guy you bought the Exhuast of.

THis site is good if you own a Skyline its a wealth of information.

I had such trouble trying to sell my Magna it took me ages and in the end i ended up trading it in for way less than i wanted.

Good luck with the sale and the search for the the skyline

Hey still the same number

i traded mine in at a place called Japcar on Sydney Road Fawkner.

They had some really good car there. But i would suggest selling the Magna and buying one private. You get much more. i paid

14k for a completely stock car it even came with the tape deck. its been good so far except i had to get the bearing changed in the gearbox which was a nightmare cause me and my uncle did it ourselves didnt have the car for about a month

Welcome aboard,

Don't get a stock one, get a modded one but in a good condition then work it the way you want it from there.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
