Well i finally went out and bought a 32 for my gf (she's always wanted one) , its pretty much stock except for a 3in exh fmic and bn body kit (painted yellow , i'm not real sure which way to go with this car yet (suggestions welcome) , i have 2 choices , either leave the kit on it and bolt a set of 20" on it or sell the kit off and put a gtr front with std side skirts and rear pods (if i can ever find them) and find some 33 gtr rims (or something similar) and paint it morpheous (new holden purple/pink) . inside is like new so all i'll be ading is stereo equipment (which i already have lol) consisting of a pair of alpine type s splits at the front some 6" alpine rear fill and a 15" jl audio sub in a custom enclosure. suspension is what has me stuck atm , i'm looking for a comprimise between stock feel (i love the way it drives) and good road handling , atm its great on the open roads but is too soft for the kit and scrapes on everything (speed humps etc) and doesn't like tight cornering. anyways , heres a pic , i'll have a few more by the end of the w/e

chers mate , its one of those colours you kinda hate and like :D , its ok but not my choice of colours , anyways , update: scored a rb25 gearbox conversion for stupid cheap so it should be manual by the end of easter :P;) , decided i'm selling the bn kit , gunna find vertex side skirst/rear bar and whack a gtr front bar on it , i'm actually tempted to widebody it via cutting some 2 door rear overfenders up, whack a cf bonnet on to break up the colour up a lil and leave it yellah? must get low first! std height ftl

yeah i checked your car out (very very nice btw) , it hasn't quite sold it for me though tbh , would have to see it in the flesh i reckon , i'm going to do all the guards etc before ordering wheels this time (i'm a spraypainter/panel beater by trade) i can cut and add metal in or just add fiberglass panel it's not a real big job for me :banana: . I also scored all std bars and am about to paint them up so i can rego it , i have a l/h std sideskirt and i'm cutting up a pair of 2 door skirts to make the rh side(can add pics and 'how to' if anyone is interested? ) also scored a set of gearclimb (kyb) shocks with apex'i springs to lower it somewhere closer to the ground, some cradle lock bushes and castor rods (i'm tempted to put r33 front lca's in too since i have one laying about) . still havent got the 'box in yet because i'm having trouble with the auto spigot :mad: , also decided to put my spare rb25 turbo on it for a laugh and shim the diff a lil :ninja: oh and it's got std r32 non projector lights (n1 i s'pose you could say) and i'm on the hunt for some fully clear type indicators. i decided on the colour too :) it's purple of the latest ve and its called morpheous :)

Heheh I just went out and bought another R32 4-door for my GF too :D, can one have too many R32 4-doors? I'll chuck a seperate thread up about it. You aren't in Melbourne I take it, otherwise i'd love to meet up sometime. I also have a spare pair of fibreglass guards sitting at my panel beater gathering dust (I think he's about ready to neck me for taking so long to clean my shiz up :P), can't remember what brand they are but they weren't cheap. N1s and the non projectors are different lights but they look very similar most obvious difference is the lack of grill mounts. I have a left hand clear indicator too :). I like the new VE purple a lot :(, dooo eeeet.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
