very interesting,

what sort of time frame/cost?

He's been very good when i've used him - worked out a suitable time for him to come have a look and then he does the plate on the spot.

Cost - nfi. He gives me cheap cheap price coz I'm an old customer, but his prices are very reasonable compared to other mod platers.

Cheaper if you can get the car to him, he charges a little more if he comes to you.

ps loved the love you gave my thread :P

Thought you might :)

P.S. have you seen that KFC add where they talk about a chick called "Katie 180"? I lol'd

Got on that draw! They are gonna lose a bit of play to rain and the pitch will improve as opposed to get worse like usual. I still cant beleive we batted the bloody wicket had branches growing out of it....well not quite but i bet its been a while since anyone played a test on a wicket that looked like that

Never done this before but um.... FIRST...

Scrapage and I think it's fkd up and out of alignment completly....

On another note, this question goes out to colin mcranga and anybody in general I guess but besides the obvious are there any known common faults on 32 gtr's and ownership of one. I'm talkin about only a lightly modified one here... (obvious problems being the engine ready to fkn die on me and a fkd gearbox/clutch)

I'd budget for an engine rebuild if you are going to buy one because they are getting old now and stuff will break. I still think a standard gtr will be reliable if you're only using it for normal driving maybe a bit of a weekend thrash. Mine is still going strong after a year of daily driving and about 45000kms. Just regular services every 5 - 7500kms.

Hi im here to not contrubute to SAU

How was everyones festive season! To sum up my holidays, I am now offically PS3 addicted, can no longer drink Glenfiddich (nearly vomited just saying it), Dan now has a very tidy and ordered workshop and the gympie skidpan now has a new water pipe that is not half full of mud so all corners of the pan get wet! And getting i a pool after 8 hours of shovelling and jackhammering is maybe the greatest thing you will ever experience.

Feels like I have actually worked harder this holidays than i ever did at work!

PS3 ftw. Tekken 6 mashing buttons is the most fun I've had in awhile.

Budget on a rebuild with the GTR, Mine was as well looked after as any and it spun a bearing just because it was old and worn out, you might get lucky but the odds are you wont and it would be a shame to break it then not be able to afford to fix it. Other things to look out for are attessa systems that are clogged up and barely work, get Dan to flush it and give it the treatment he gave mine and it will trasform the car, all of a sudden the slow attessa lable that R32 GTRs get lumped with seems a little misguided. Cracked rotors are somthing to look out for as they really hammer the front brakes and the syncro for 3rd gear is often fubar and a sign that it has copped some abuse in a past life. Look for worn upper control arm bushes chances are any one you come across these will be on the way out so budget on getting those fixed. they are also pretty good at getting rust up under the rear guards and also check under the boot carpet as they can leak around the tail lights and fill the spare wheel well with water

As for ownership....they are an awesome car i spent a fortune on my r32 with a 25 and was never happy with it. First drive of the GTR just felt so much better as it had a little more power, better powerband and the ability to put it to the road anytime i wanted. The down side of ownership is complexity, any work you do on it (except changing sparkplugs ;) ) will take a lot longer! They also use tonnes more fuel, at 315rwkw is was getting 550km mixed driving from a tank in my GTST...in the GTR it would have been lucky to get 400

not really in a rush, still got my boost gauge to chuck in, 3 other gauges (backlights arent working) and for some reason my car alarm (horn) isn't going off when the alarm is on.. i just thought $100/hr is pretty expensive..

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
