In this day of Bathurst races featuring similar-looking cars with similar-looking drivers, I'd like to take the opportunity to congratulate Mark Skaife (one of the two guys responsible for me owning an R32 GT-R - the other one not being a fan of a 'pack of assholes') and Craig Lowndes on their win!

Cheers!

P.S. Mark, if you're reading this, where do I send you the bill for everything I have spent on my GT-R in the past couple of decades?

His old R32 (Burgandy) was at the R32 cruise in Sydney yesterday.

Talk about a clean car!

Its now onto its second owner and has 13000k's since new.

The lucky owner won an award for best concourse GTR

They were the guys I was going for too.

Skaife used to drive Nissans for Fred Gibson- Gazelle, R31, & R32.

Lowndes used to also drive for Fred Gibson.

Was also going for Courtney/Luff cause I did most of my driver training with young Luffy.

      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.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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?
