Sorry! but don't agree. What's so special about the STOCK STANDARD front, with big headlights & grille.

How is it better with this nose piece and better than PJR cars

Anybody catch the car, right at the rear of 2001 Kanagawa Kitagawa on page 6.

The iron mask h/lights & grille with stock bonnet and cut down 3 row grille.

ALSO! anybody else got thoughts as to Iron Mask or Stock front, which is more appealing/sporty etc

Ghostrider,can't find the one you're talking about? Did you see this one? Early model grille and lights,later everything else! Looks ok I think!

I reckon the ironmask fronts are the best looking,but having said that,early fronts with the slat grille,and flares on 'em,like race replicars look fat!

That's the one, but think I get into photo shop and see what I can create as a look. I have pics of my stock PNV and IM. Interesting thought?????

When I first bought my HR30,I planned to slice the nose off the gaurds,and try and adapt an HR31 nose to it.....

Here's a thought,does the iron mask front look better cause it makes them look more like HR31's?   :)  

 :flamed:    flame suit on...

when i was looking for the headlights for mine i got to a point of seeing if i could rig up those parabolic gts-x lights you can get but found the iron masks instead. :kick:

how would those flares go with the RTA over here as they aid in the r32 gtr front brake spacer problems?

I think this looks mean and should be no problem with RTA.

As for R32 brakes, I have 16 x 7's on front and when I put the spacers in to clear the calliper, I'm going to widen the wheels IN, (make a new wider inner rim) an inch, giving me 8's all round and same front track.

Getting back to mean!!! I would like to stay a little STEALTH looking, don't want to attract to much police attention.

Little story for you to consider:

A friend, he is 64 and owns 3 Ford GT's, 1968 XR, 1970 XW phase 2 and 1971 XY phase 3 shaker.

He can drive either of the XR or XW through Sydney at any speed, he has driven the XR at 150 kph in a 60 zone and not a cop to be found, but when in the XY ph3 shaker, cops come out of holes in the ground, hang out of trees, sit up his arse, just hang off the car literally.

It's just the presence the car creates, very similar in our case if a mean streeter.

Just for interest sake, he recently turned down an offer of 1/2 million for the 3.

How many of these would you find having less than 20K genuine each?

I like that idea Ghostrider

Phat,

Just been quoted $160 freight to get those bits to you and as you might guess, I bloody nearly fell off the chair, so I have organised something with a transport company I work for and it might take about a week to get there but it won't cost $160 either.

Will pack it on the weekend and get it organised. Freight might be as much as $NIL, but won't know until after sent.

Will let you know further when I know.

You want it delivered to the office or ????? PM me and let me know.

As for the look, I have a damaged iron mask grille, so playing with it won't be too costly and my main thoughts are the angle of slant on the inside edge on both lights, if same, no problem.

Will post results after photoshop work done.

      gauge needle removal

      By Jarsky · Posted

      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

      By Jarsky · Posted

      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.
