R32 Parts Swap, Springs And Steering Wheel (rype R)


Recommended Posts

Have bought R32 GTS-t and it has low firm ride and I need to swap the lowered springs for the standard items (good condition please) Dont have pictures of them of course they are still in the car, would have to arrange a day to swap them both over, but this is a great oppourtunity for someone who wants a much lower and firmer ride on the 32 gts for free!!! I am in western suburbs of brisbane and can help with all the work with a full workshop at my place.

I have also a Type R steering wheel and boss kit to swap for the original wheel. The indicator self cancel doesnt work but it looks very easy to fix it, with 4 small steel tabs to be welded on the inside of the boss kit to connect with the standard cars parts in the column to activate the cancel (this problem will cause a failure on your roadworthy if its asked for)

You can come and swap this steering wheel today for free! Hurry im only able to do this today. (sunday) BRISBANE

I will be interstate for this week and back on saterday. 0427117725

yeah thats fair enough guys ill take it all apart and see what ive got, I guess i wanted to see if there was enough interest to justify taking the car off the road for a while, as id miss driving it if i had wait for stock parts hehe

got the springs out. Think the shocks arent quite up to scratch so i might replace them. So only intersted in swapping springs now.

They just appear to be shorter thicker versions of stock springs. So does anyone want to swap them for standard ones?

I want to get this happening pretty quickly, so ring me on 0427117725 we can swap them straight away. Cheers.

oh and will someone please swap my steering wheel for a stock one? even if you can sell me a stock one ill consider it!

Edited by stimps

they are quite low, makes my car look pretty nice but like i said beffore, i gotta have a soft ride for my back injury, anyway yeah im still keen as and i want a steering wheel to you can have the type R wheel i have which is nice, but i still want the stock one.

only catch is, you can only come and swap these (or ill come to you) tomorrow!! (thursday) as i have that day off...then im away again for a week!!!

my job steals so much of my time away:(

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
