Need to get rid of my R32,

Features.. (in no particular order)

- R33 turbo [Running 7 pound due to the actuator, will come with boost T]

- Blitz tuned ECU

- Full 3" Dump back exhaust [ Car will come with Cat]

- 500hp Walbro fuel pump

- Shortshifted Manual

- Heavy duty clutch

- Front mount intercooler

- Clarion Speakers w/pioneer headunit

- Solid trans mount

- Nismo type S struts and Lowered springs [still quite high, will not draw any attention at all, yet has a firm ride]

- very (VERY!) clean interior

- alarm/imob + remote centeral locking

- Pod intake rather than air box

- 17" rims (8.5" front, 9" rear..i think. its about that)

- car has only got front and rear GTS bar, no skirts or anything so it looks quite stock (how i wanted it), however, i have a BN sports bodykit in the shed if you would rather..

Negative..

- A/c doesnt work as Compressor has seized, replace and it will work

- panel damage to the Rear left of the car, apparently the prev. owners mate reversed into it or something.

- has repaired damage to the front of the car, no idea what happened, but the car drives and brakes perfectly straight.

- front left quater panel is red but has been spray painted black. exterior isnt 100%, could do with a spray.

- solder joints in the AFM where the plug joins on have screwed out. all you need to do it take it out, open it up and blob some solder in there. one has cracked so the engine freakes out randomly (fails to detect the AFM so it wont rev over 2500)

car has done about 140XXXKm. everything is legit. ive done a rego & regency history check. car is currently regestered.

idealy i will sell this car sooner rather than later. i wont put a price up here, but if your interested, send me a PM of your offer. (i will run it in a "silent auction" sort of way.)

if someone offers me what i want. BAM its yours. (and its not too much.. lol)

will get pics in the next day/few days

- Rules say i need a price.. so... $7000 and its yours today. (whatever day it is you read this)

- ive got a buddy that wants this car for 7, but is getting a loan, no idea whats happening with it though. tempt me and its yours.

8th pic down shows the panel damage, just needs to be pulled out.

and the front left quater panel will cost $220 from grand auto (a nissan wreckers down south). you can find cheaper parts no prob.

the AFM is the airflow meter. the pod filter bolts onto it (its a little box). just needs to be removed, take the top off, resolder 5 pins, then put it back together.

- the problem that it causes is that the ECU cant detect the airflow meter, so it goes into a safe running mode, in which it wont rev over 2500rpm.

when driving this causes the car to just "cut out" for a split second. then come back to life.

it skitzed out on new years, so i just jumpped out and pushed/wiggled the plug into the AFM so the join reconnects and ever since then it hasnt had an issue.

so, untill you fix it or replace it. the car MAY randomly loose power. which if it does, you can just shake the plug and it will fix it. (for an unspecified amount of time)

probably untill you go over a decent bump.

a new airflow meter will cost (I THINK) $150.

not a big issue.

      And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:
