iv drivn a new SS ute.. they are boring and was slower than my old 250rwhp R32 however it felt like the SS was restricted by technology, just felt underpowered

You're going by feeling here...which is not the best judge of how quick a car is...the 32 might "feel" quicker as the rush of torque comes whereas a V8 might feel more linear...and hence feel not as quick...but it can be deceiving....

that is true, the SS felt exactly the same accross the board, I guess like up a hill it had more effortless power but it just didnt feel like it gained speed all that fast and wasnt a fun car, hey im a boost fan :blink: . but in comparison the XR6 turbo ute I drove felt like shit to drive, was heavy and handled pretty average against the SS, the power was less but felt like iy put you in your seat more than the SS.

I dont really go by quarter mile times, track times to be mean more as it shows how well the car is ballanced. I know of a AE82 Corolla with a 4agze in it which nails a few corvettes and is very competative with the new v8s but as well all know power to weight is the factor. weighs like 900kg an has 150hp to the floor

oh cmon HR31's are nice cars, I class HR's real skylines but not ADM ones.. just like 86 sprinter aint a real trueno/levin and comodores definatly arnt chevs.. i laugh so hard at chev badges on holdens

Edited by BANGN
Yeah good point, those 2 door r31's are nice and you can really see the r32 bloodline in it.

The chev badges on holdens are just repressed homosexuality.

I've never understood why they do this, a mate at work has a chev badge on his Adventra and i call him exactly that. :)

Does this mean VL owners should put a Nissan badge on, or maybe i should put a Buick one on my VN ??? :)

^^^ people are stupid, simply answer i guess.

why do people strap bombs to their chests and blow up innocent people, why do people have sex with dead animals, why do pakistanis open fire in mumbai killing people, why is r31nismoid such a wanker. All these questions dont have answers which make sense to the majority of people with half a brain.

Oh man! Hahaha.

Is it true that older R32s weight 60kg less than the newer ones?

Side impact protection bars weigh 60kg? Because thats the only difference, unless this is a trick from nissan how they say things are slower / heavier than what they really are?

Year May 1989 to 1991

Weight 1280kg

November 1992 to 1993:

Weight 1340kg

yeh but dont they have aluminium blocks? id rather a rb as its pretty bloody hard to crack a cast iron block

seriously.. the whole alloy block v iron block is useless in this topic.

LS1 engines seem to weork really well with the TT kits.

making over 450rwkw with waves of torque that you could NEVER see from an RB of any kind.

I was saying that if the LS1 was fitted to an R32.

even in NA form with the usual NA upgrades of cams, extractors tuning etc, these motors spin up over 300rwkw.

1290kg 89 model R32 with RB20 making what 200rwkw with usual mods?

or

1240kg 89 model R32 with LS1 making over 300rwkw.

so more power, more torque, less weight and better distributed weight.

and you would prefer to keep the RB20 because it has an iron block?

lol..

depends how you get off the line, my mates line has 220rwkw and a r8 couldn't reel us in.. things get off the line damn quick though, it'd chew the gtst off the line, wouldnt be able to catch one b4 speed limiter.. in the gtr i don't catch 5 litres before around 100 and 6's can usually get up to 80 before i hit 80 if i take off with only like 2k revs up.. need to dump it to get it moving which sucks.. especially when ur trying to change lanes and the person your trying to get in front of has their foot flat while i'm lagging my way to 4k

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
