Hello All. My name is Sim, I just purchased a 92 r32 gtst wine red. It was actually "Nismo_Boy's" car, a member of these forums.

Anyway picked it up last nite and the clutch decided to let go :cheers: so there is 800 bucks from direct clutches..does anyone know if that a good price? thats for a Heavy duty Dakien with a large pressure plate (400hp) and machined flywheel blaa blaa, i dont want a brass button.

Anyway way went for a cruise, saw 51IDE at roma street, nice car man, paint looks wicked :D and also a few other 32 gtr's 08LUR and 350ME etc etc.

Anyway as i am broke at the moment the car will stay pretty stock. I think i will just track down a gtr intercooler and run 14 psi (dual stage) and aim for 160kw atw and a highish 13 sec quater..

(car already has exhuast and filter)..anyway might catch up with u soon.

Cheers Sim.

I paid $400 for my 3000p pressure plate organic clutch from Nicks Clutches. It's an awesome clutch. I love it :rolleyes:

I'm Erin. We are having a skyline meeting this afternoon if you want to come down and say gidday! It's at the Homemaker Centre on the south side of brisbane. Refer to this thread for details.

Hmm. Not happy. went on a nebo cruise 2day and besides the clutch being a bitch, i found the car very skatey with the hicas and stock suspension in the rear end. Not only that it seams a rock or somthing jammed in my front left disc and made one hella of a noise so i had to turn around and limp it home. The noise dissapperead but is still making it quietly, so it could be a bearing or disc or something..(pads are still ok)..

anyway clutch is getting done 2morrow.. $$$ debt :cool: from Albion Direct Cluthes. At Albion of course. HD Dakien 400hp pressure plate from a touch over 800.

Cheers.

is pretty piggish to drive because of large pressure plate i guess.. i dunno, wanted something light on the foot, but a heavy duty pp seems to *** that up.

anyway car goes in shop tommrow..im getting this bad rear wheel shudder and it could be my diff or something, also gotta replace all my bushes.

:P

not happy

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
