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

these are rare japanese rims forgot the name, stick the rears on the front and get a deeper pair for the rears

haha nah , i'll give them a miss , i was thinking gt-c's with gtr front bar std skirts bla bla

Definitely go the Purple + GTR front + R33 GTR Rims. That would be one nice 4dr!!

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.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • 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.
