Hey guys, new to the site!. I have recently purchased an r32 GTR.

I got the car rather cheap and have receipts for a rebuild 17,000km's ago, the rebuild includes, Re bored engine block, forged pistons and rings, reground crank, new bearings, recod head, new gaskets, timing belt, water pump, machined flywheel, spark plugs chipped GTR ECU etc. I have been driving the car around a lil lately and have started to notice a tick from the engine under revs. I have spoken to a couple of ppl and they have suggested that after a rebuild, and seeing GTr's came out with solid lifters that the shims are worn, hence the ticking.

Under closer inspection, there is a minor air leak from the front of the exhaust manifold aswell.

Knowing what i payed for the car, i had expectations it wouldnt be perfect, and am considering getting it all fixed, aswell as maybe fitting twin 28-60's and a remapped ECU, seeing the current ECU cant be played with.

I live on the southside of brisbane and am looking for someone with decent experience to do the work, as i dont have alot of knowledge as of yet on the 26, i have been warned the manifold may take upto 5-6 hours to remove and replace gaskets, is there anyone on here that may be able to assist or maybe do the work, I will be paying very good cash cash for quality work!!! Any suggestions will be appreciated guys. Thanks for reading my life story. lol!!!

    • 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.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
