Hi Chris you going well with this build, nice sunroof save. I'm with you over preferring power over noise. Did you see these e-bay guards?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT

can anyone tell me what the text is in the top corner of this?

R32_GTR_N1_Oil_cooler.pdf

found the part numbers for it

thess are the 9302 P/Ns

21308-RN581 - bracket

21300-05U20 - cooler kit

08110-6161E - bolts (10)

cannot find prices on these at the moment. looks like a phone call on monday to osaka...

Translation

1. "oil cooler installation will interfere with the existing air conditioning condenser". "if you want an air conditioning condensor, use a kit with this number" from this company Kenso phone them...

2. to install this will make air conditioning difficult!

ok:

tonight removed:

rear tailshaft

front tailshaft

engine ancillaries

this is so I can get the box and engine out a bit easier. the top two engine/box bolts are a bitch to get at. I also ground off the rusted wiper gear in the front. all of that went in the bin as its all past its useby date. I'll order new stuff after I get more money to do so. the rear wiper assy - I have a spare motor now - the nut was so rusted on that I had to cut it off as well and in the process destroyed the threads that hold the lot together. the engine will be out hopefully before the weekend. then the glass comes out and I start getting chemical burns from cleaning.

out of curiosity I pulled the head off the RB20. cylinder #5 rusted. cylinder #6 - black as. headgasket let go I figure and took the rest with it. EVERY line on htat head was catcus wit rust and crap. the entire lot is sitting out side ready for the scrap metal guy to pick up. I kept the cam covers and CAS.

next few days I'll yank the rest out now htat I can get to the back two bolts a bit easier.

spent some time looking at wheel choice. looking at 17x7s in lenso specifically the DC6 in copper/bronze..

DC6_Copper_Bronz_4c3eb1bd1f388_150x150.jpg

I would prefer simmons gold mesh but it looks like they are no longer made :blink: . I feel the lenso wheels would suit a red car - would like to hear feedback on this idea :(

been looking for a set of those. they seem to be made of unobtainium for some reason. those were my first thought until I saw the yahoo japan site.

yeah i bought mine from a guy i know that owns an import wreckers. he gave them to me for $550 with tires. we thought they were just the normal bbs rims until i got home and checked the text around the center caps. had the part number and all on it lol

Knowing you Chris if you think the BBS are best, you'll track them down! I like the Simmons option, I tend to buy second hand and refurbish, the modular construction means you could "tailor them". This interests me for GTS4s.

had simmons P86s (gold mesh) on a previous car. liked them. that was my goal but I cannot buy them anymore.

have found a 'donor' GTR for small bits and pieces local to me. that is going to get a fair bit of stuff taken off it I think. (thanks go to a darling downs member btw.)

02stagea,

ta!

its not the first one I have built though this is the first one that I have went into that much detail though.

talking to another fellow that totally rebuilt a 32 he thought he knew a fair bit about them before he started - he admitted he was wrong. I'm finding the same thing myself. there are that many 'minor' differences in these cars that its entirely NOT funny.

curretnly I'm working from 4 different chassis numbers to get what I want. 3 of them are Vspecs and one Oz GTR.

thanks to a QLD club member I actually worked out the paint on mine and what the car actually *should* look like internally and externally. if I can make it look like THIS as that is my colour I'll be more than happy.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
