My gf had a couple of 31's.. and after many issues with old cars and stuff breaking and needing fixing week after week.. we decided to sell them. The plan was to buy a nicely maintained one.. or something along the lines of that. Anyway i did a service on this 32 4 door and it was for sale.. after looking over the car and seeing the price.. my gf had to buy it.. the car is mint!

Stock as a rock factory manual turbo, just has new lowered springs and shocks in it.. drives very nice thats for sure... its nicer to drive then mine... until you floor it that is :(

No major plans for it at this stage, maybe an exhaust and a cooler, but to be honest my gf is loving having power windows, climate control etc etc lol so its a big step up thats for sure.

Will post some more pics later of both of them side by side in the sun... we only got it the other night ;)

wow thats top news. i seen this on carsales during the week as i was looking for a car to replace my burnt out shell. looked very nice. and its also a factory pearl white isnt it? there is a pearl white one near where i live and i thought it had been resprayed but maybe thats how it came. its a tuff colour i think.

ive always wanted to have 2 myself as i think they are a pretty orsome car in stock form as a dayly. no commo or falcon can offer such features at that age.

Schmenz: My plans for the car are to buy a cooler and exhaust at some stage... I have got plans for it but i dont think i will be doing too much with it

while im paying off a loan :rofl:

Its quite nice having 2 4 door 32's at home... I would MUCH rather be in Simon's car than mine most of the time (his 25 makes me jealous :))

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
