Sorry about late reply, but i have an excuse! I've been driving everywhere :P

Nah its not a GTR (cause i'm 19), got a gts-t. GTR when i'm 21 maybe.

Everything is good.

I'll get pics up when i get em.

Only thing is when the heating/aircon is on there is like a double knocking noise coming from the engine (sounds a bit like a heart beat...) every 5 seconds or so and the idle drops to like 300...

Hope its not a big problem but i wanna get it fixed asap. Not sure what it could be, it sounds like its coming from the erea around the pod filter (although its obviously not the pod... unless its resting on something it shouldn't, cause me and my mates put it on...).

Any ideas what it could be?

Let some of my commodore mates drive it and they are jealous!!! :(

Loving it :)

course he is... he just got his first R32 :D

man i remember those days... oh how i miss those late night drives to anywhere but nowhere in particular.

That's the first thing I want to do when I get my licence. Just drive around with no destination in mind. I can't wait, only 4 months to go!! Too bad it won't be in the 32 though :cheers:

Yep, petrol prices are fair high these days, although I full tanked my skyline the other night, cost me about $55, but had about 1/4 tank (15L) in there already..

Thats paying about 1.28c/L of high octane fuel. My car is pretty good on fuel though, depends how/where you drive it :action-smiley-069:

Make sure you always fill good fuel in it, very important!!

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
