I hope that its proud new owner will take care of it as much as i did and that it will go far.

If anyone ever trecks up to Townsville QLD, make sure you keep your eye out for it...

It's one of those cars you have to see in the metal to behold its artfulness and execution, I was amazed with the build quality and cleanliness of the car when I saw it and worked around it at Autosalon back in May. The new owner should feel privileged to own a small piece of SAU memorabilia. :(

Thanks Ian,

Yeah, it is an absolutely amazing car. It leaves my garage on Wednesday and its gonna be hard to see it take off up the street.

When i loaded the car on to the truck to take it out to AutoSalon, i had the whole street watching in awe. I'd had the car hidden in my garage for 7 months, working in it from top to bottom, and when it rolled out, it blew everyone away - the looks on all the faces blew me away too... I'd realised that in that 7 months, i had finished the 'puzzle' and unveiled an artwork so to speak.

My parents were stunned, they knew what i was doing up there every night, but never had a look... They had never seen a car like that, with as much class as mine. And for my mum to say that - that made my day..

But yeah, i hope its new owner registers for SAU and keeps my car up there in classy league of it own...

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
