Hi all my name is wayne i'm 43 i live in melbourne dandenong area with three sons from a previous marriage and one on the way with my new wife and i know i'm a glutten for punishment but my wife lisa has never had children so it's only fair she gets to experience motherhood and she is light years ahead of my ex in many ways so l'm more than happy to do it all again for her sleepless nights etc.

so as the title suggests i've decided to defect from the subaru to the nissan family... been an up and down affair with the 3 subies i've owned they are good cars don't get me wrong although i've come to the realisation that a GTR namely the R32 out of the box is just a more complete package as i'm not really wanting to go more than a better fmic, exhaust, and a bit more boost maybe a little large huffers i do have a motec m48 not sure at this stage if that is worth keeping it for the GTR?? as a lot of guys seem to use power fc's? and since the R32 is a lot cheaper these days makes it a good time to find what i'm looking for and at a decent price.

so any do's and don'ts on what i should be looking out for in the R32 GTR i've read that the pre 92 model had issues with the oil pump which was rectified in post 92 models also i like the fact that R32's can be switched from awd to rear wheel drive by replacing the fuse with a switch just a couple of things i've read so far so any more help on buying a GTR R32

Also what i would like to know is what type of internals from factory does the RB26 in the R32 GTR come with ie: forged rods? forged slugs? ect.. and most importantly are the five speed gearbox much stronger than a WRX one as the wrx gearbox really lets it down once you up the power somewhat any help would be much appreciated

cheers wayne

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
