post-43183-1194648656_thumb.jpgMy GTR R32 arrived from Adelaide yesterday and I had it at the pits within hours, trouble is, it didn't make it.... :happy:

Guages Pod at eye level (happy for them to go)

Leaks round CV boots

Leak by diff

Leak by steering box

Tien suspension - Not enough travel. Seems f**king unfair!

Crappy tint (happy for it to go)

Radiator not secured at the top (Boostworx put it in just before car was sold.

Anyway I guess thats what a car sold on the basis of an unlimited maint budget and inspection from Boostworx in Adelaide gets you.

How does it go? Very sweet ;) with the few k's I've done so far..

Main question, where can I get the suspension & leaks fixed asap? Got a booking at Hyperdrive on 3rd of December but I'd prefer to be driving the car sooner!

What pits did you take it to?

I took mine over to the Midland pits earlier in the week, and passed with flying colours. Though the next thing I need to do is arrange permits.

My Cusco suspension is rock hard (can't push it 1cm even), and mechanic told me that the only thing that would probably fail my car was the suspension and the reverberation (whatever you call it) through the air filters due to the BOVs being blocked for the inspection.

Tint you can take it to any tinter to remove for about $20 or so. I had limo tint on all my windows except for drivers and passenger one, however I think the law states you can have dark tint on any fixed window :S I'm removing the tint down the track as I can see f*ck all at night through the rear window.

You could probably take your car to some 'general mechanic' for the suspension etc, as if they can't do it they'll probably out source it to someone else. (or just see the above post lol)

Good luck.

there are some new tricky laws regarding coilovers now

thats why i said go to WA Suspensions as brad is full bottle on it

something to do with it has to be full travel in the shock, legal ride height, but also that its at the lowest possible winding (ie you cant have it at legal height with only 20mm of thread left, but you can have it at legal height with like 70mm thread to play with)

whatever it is, its tricky....let somebody else sort it out i say :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):
