As requested........ let me know if you want it, i can possibly ask my mate if he'd fix it too if your interested.

there is no lip

and you can have the spiders too!

That'd be great Angus. If your mate can fix it even better. Happy to sling a few slabs around for the effort. Pretty sure I have a lower lip lying around.

nah mark! no arguments here mate... always like to throw up ideas, i am no expert so watch on with interest

you boys look like your making great headway!! keep it up , great job

i have to keep berry away from this thread or he will go off about me making him work on the r35 instead of his car! lol

Hey Russ, you had Mahle pistons in your 32 correct??

is there any secrets or tricks to using them/for the build??

Bad timing, i spoke to his misses and he is over seas for 2-3 weeks.

still want?

Yes please, I have someone else who can rubber/plastic weld.

When's a good time and where about's are you. I'm away until Friday.

What can I throw your way for the pleasure of taking it off your hands?

Thanks,

Angus,

Just had a thought. Going to machine up a couple of allow steering wheel linkages on the weekend, how does one of these sound. You can probably see one on one of Duncan's previous pictures, they replace the standard rubber steel one that links the steering wheel arm to the steering rack.

I'm going to whoreeeeeeee for a second or two....

I'm done whoring, now all i need is pistons and rods and i can build this damn thing!!!

Are these new turbo water and oil lines. If so, they are a really, really, really good idea. I have had to destroy a standard set on at least 3 occasions because the fittings wouldn't turn on the pipe and it ended up just twisting the pipe up until the metal fatigued and ripped itself apart. A real pain in the ass, not only because they needed to be replaced but because it's a bitch to get your hand and a spanner in there in the first place, then you have to turn hard enough to rip the pipes apart.

What's in the box under the VRS kit?

ahh sweet that would be great :O

Yeah all the turbo and water return lines there! from hose solutions on ebay all up around 350 aussie delivered ;)

that sounds similar to the way i pull things apart hahaha.

big black box is a nismo full engine gasket kit with a 1.2mm metal gasket too. i had some presents arrive this morning!

what do you think about the quality of the lines. we need a set too, and these are hard to beat at the price (about 1/2 what pirtek charge for the same) let us know if they fit ok.

ebay, they are from the uk they look nice.. haha dont think they will be getting fitted for a few months now

http://myworld.ebay.com.au/hose_solutions this guy is the one.

tho they did take some time to arrive i think around a month..

Ask Norm, Mr r32 how they fit.

i can make you custom speedflow lines for around that price.

A question about Sump/Baffle

So i bought the tomei baffle, now i'm thinking why on earth i did this.

i wouldn't mind extending the sump but not making it go any lower like most other extensions, is this possible? and still use the tomei baffle?

interesting question. we are running the tomei style baffle in this car's motor too (although we got the much cheaper one from Just Jap), and the sump is wider but not deeper. remind me to post some pics next weekend

we normally run the trust (deep) sump, and I had spent years telling people yes they hang low but no you don't damage them. which was true until I smashed mine on a ripple strip at oran park earlier this year and cracked it in 3 places.

still, I've had it welded up and am going to put it back on - I like the deep design to keep oil near the pickup

Yes it is possible to still run the Tomei baffle with a sump extension.

Why would you want a 6 inch blond when there are so many nicer 6 foot ones?

Who does the braided clutch lines? and what is the benefit of fitting? Thanks

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly.
