Gday my name is steve,

i currently own a white 1990 R32 GTR and since buying it i have changed jobs and am now a apprentice plumber and cant afford to keep it. i bought it 2 and a half years ago and have put on a little over 20,000 on it. It is basicly stock with 220rwkw.

Over the past two years ive had to replace

-the clutch in which i put in a excedy heavy duty clutch which has has bout 7,oookm on it.

-suspension the old front two busted on me so i replaced all 4 with tein coilovers. got them last April so its been about 10,oookm

-When i first got it it still had the original headunit so i replace it with a new one with a usb input.

-It always got serviced every 5,oookm

- i didnt have to replace them but i bought a set of Evo 5 stock rims.

When i got the car it already had a few mods on it like

- A Greedy intercooler

- A Trust exhaust

- Boss kit

- Pod filters

- Turbo timer

i am selling her to to the fact im now a 1st year apprentice. im 25 minutes away from Geelong and im going to have to sell it without a rwc. it needs $2500 worth of little things to get her one including rear wheels, steering wheel and a few things like that. Its not part of rego but it will need a new front bar has it is cracked and alot of scratches from when the suspension broke on me. It still has rego until November

Im asking $13,ooo without the roadworthy and an extra $500 if you want the Evo 5 rims.

if you have any questions please email me on [email protected], ill be online most nights

Steve, some better pics would help your cause. Take them not in dappled sunlight (half shade half sun) as the shadow kills the pics. Your photos really don't convey the condition of the car which will not help your cause. Good luck.

Seems he doesnt want to say what the kms are for whatever reason?

Has now been asked the same question twice and posted after the first request.

A fairly important and valid question if selling a car I would have thought.

Is it possible to translate that to English? Elurt? Ruffly? Carnt? Remeber? WTF?

It is very simple, people who are not prepared to show the kilometres in their ad, "appear" to have something to hide.

That is what people read from your reluctance to list the kms.

Not saying that you do, simply that common sense tells us that .

Isn't it against the rules to sell someone else's car here?

BTW my name is Tony, not toni.

Hi Doug, I now know that its your brother Steve's car since he PMd me to apologise for your post, I explained that there was no apology needed as I was not offended, and that I could have worded my post better as well.

I think you should perhaps speak to him before shooting your mouth off, since unlike you, your brother Steve seems like a really good bloke.

By the way, you still cant spell even when supposedly sober, go figure.

As for chilling out, perhaps you should take your own advice.

What I was trying to explain to you, and I will type it real slow so you understand........is that the post appears to not want to say what the kms are, and that this is a very important detail when buying a car, it seems as though there is a hidden reason, even if that isn't the case.

I am not accusing you of anything other than atrocious grammar and English. Ok?

Now go talk to your brother Steve, since he can actually string a sentence together and make sense while doing it.

Steve, I apologise to you for insulting your brother Doug.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
