Hey guys, i just got a r32 N/A and was wondering whats some good exterior / interior or bolt on mods that i can.

Its Manual, 170 xxx on the clock.

4 Stud, which i hate.

I was think of getting a Strut bar or gtr bonnet.

and what needs to be done to get a GTR front end on.

It all depends on what your doing with the car when you get off you P's.

Im not really sure what im doing with mine after i get off my p's or if im just going to sell it and buy a turbo.

New wheels (hard with 4 stud so best looking for multi), Sound system, tint and lower on coilovers are all pretty good things to do.

I personally didnt like the look of the grey interior so i bought some leatherette retrims for the seats, door trims, console lid etc in black and blue with the nissan logo.

Another great mod is the white guage faces and led's in the dash but be careful not to screw your cluster.

I liked the look of led's in the footwell aswell as led undercars, but its all personal preference.

Im thinking of going a gtr bonnet/grill for mine too sometime in the future.

What colour is it and is it a coupe or 4 door ??

cheers

I'd tend to focus on two things before the cosmetic touch.

1) performance upgrades which means that the strut brace is a plus for 'turn-in' etc

2) advanced driver courses, because it won't matter whether or not you've got turbos.

Later on, you'll be all set up for a turbo car.

noting that you said 'i hate the 4 studs' i take it you have bog standard r32 wheels on it. that would be the best place to start if you ask me.

get some sweet aftermarket rims that also have a centre-cap to cover up your 4 stud shame.

here is what i got with my R33 NA. deep dish 17's.

this mod will improve both your looks and handling out of sight. (as long as your put decent rubber on em and also dont go for rubber band profiles...)

another tip if you head down this road, try to get multi-fit rims. THat way if you want to swap them onto a turbo down the line or even sell em all this is possible (also got that option on my rims)

enjoy...

+1, but if you dont have enough cash to get decent rims just take the centre cap off and spray your current ones black with acouple cans of wheel paint from autobarn (if its the alloys)

haha i got a few 4x114.3 rims at home, cause i had a few cars before xD not on my P's yet,

so i have a few rims, but really never actually stuck to one car, i think i might keep the 32 :)

i see its pretty uncommon for a coupe r32 n/a manual, so i might keep it. someone can shed some light ?

anyways , i was thinking of the various mods, maybe i should put a Build tread xD..

would it be rice if i had a gtr kit on my car ? LOL or even get like a gtr key.. cause the feeling of having one with out the hassles of the law etc..

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
