wait till you decide to take the starter motor out.......if it's anything like the BNR32 its a BITTTTCCCCCHHH!

surprising, when removing my gearbox i didn't have any problems with it, my mates r33 doesn't have one of the bolt in cause he had problems, I managed to get it off and on with no problems maybe 5 - 10 mins each way

flathead screwdriver smashed through the filter with a hammer. WIN

there is seriously not enough room to even try that, I had a cut down screw driver i Just couldnt get in

this is all you should need

1x 10mm socket

1x extension

1x rachet

1x oil filter socket

I should have put one of the K and N filters with the nut on the end!

Also couldn't do my diff oil, seems at night I didn't check which out of the 3 containers all 2.5 litres i picked up, I put the diff oil in the gearbox! hence why it was so smooth, gears change are beautiful, and car took a complete flogging from the weekend when I competed in the 2013 REJEX Rally which was great, down side is I need 4 new tyres :(

What about plasti-dip?

Finally finished off my trip strips

d3b0f40c-41e2-461b-88c0-28d61af95c96_zps

And fixed my boost gauge with teflon tape (no pics tho)

Might also fix the split cv boots soon, and give it a service with synx-6000 :D

Did the same thing to my body mould chrome strips a couple of months back, my car is white with black rims also.

The faux chrome in my body moulds has been patchy and rough since I bought the car.

I bodge jobbed the black out though, I have used insulation tape trimmed to fit as I wasnt sure if I would like it and wanted an easy undo.

Once the first bit of tape peels back at an edge I'll look into this plasti dip bandwagon.

Just resprayed my grille black again this week as stone chips were making the chrome poke back out...

Only chrome left now is the tail light in-fills but I think they can stay.

Ill get some photos when I get it out tomorrow.

Well im now the proud owner of an RS4 factory manual and very happy.

time to start the big clean up before i get down to making it how i like it.

better look after is as it has a confirmed 74000km on the clock and almost no mods appart from a dump back exhaust and cheap mags.

front needs some love, fading lights with condensation annoys the absolute hell out of me, almost as much as having a dirty windscreen.

got the elbow grease out and threw in some 6000k philips xennons. gonna start replacing everything with LEDs as per usual. love the led look.

still undecided as for what to do with the yellow foggies.....more pondering needed.

so much better looking when they're actually clear.

the wheels will go but the height is the propper issue. needs coilovers stat

the 34 is getting jealous

IMAG1592_20130803205827287_zps974c2b5d.j

the interior needs a damn good clean, got a good upholstery cleaner and tackeled the passenger seat, it is a real shame that people dont keep ontop of this shit. oh well. more elbow grease has been employed.

I feel your pain about the interior my 260rs was a kiddy car and had s#*t all through the back seat when I got it,gave it a good steem clean now looks new again. Wow good job on the head lights that's a huge diffrence! And last but not least nice ride

I finally figured out how to remove the cargo blind. Ph34r my detective skills.

Yes, I also found out where to store it under the boot floor. This car is brilliant.

I started installing my front mount yesterday. didnt have to cut the reo to much so im happy about that. its an r33 turn flow and nearly bolted straight up so was pretty easy

first spin i took it for i forgot to tighten one of the pipes so car kept stalling and limped it back home, works all good now just have to cut the front bar and splash trays to fit.

also looks like it has hit a tow ball or something. :O

My car has a similar problem (seats look like your driver side). Interested in what cleaner you used?

I've some cheaper generic fabric cleaners i've used for my couch by seem painful to work in and clean...

Hire a steam cleaner from woolworths.

Have done this every time I have bought a new (used) car. It will blow your mind how much dirt comes out of even a 3 year old car.

Eg. This was from a the seats of a 2009 model car. attachicon.gifImageUploadedByTapatalk1376287937.297508.jpg

+1 I even use the same Steam cleaner haha

Fitted a jjr front mount kit to the c34. Ended up cutting the end of tr rails rather then then reo. Really didn't want to do it but hey... Also had to remove the ac can as its massive! If I have problems I will get a slim fan to replace it.

Then fitted a stainless jj bell mouth dump pipe along with a high flow cat. Much less drone with the cat (gutted one before)

Next up is a muffler and 3inch for the test of the system to some twin pipes. Then nistune!

Agreed on woolworths cleaners. Did the same for my stag and the wife's 100. You also find many things under the carpet like $20 and a bottle of vodka haha

What would happen if I was to remove the dvd navi permanently from the circuit. Eg thinking of relocating headunit here.

and hand would pop out from behind the dash and bi*ch slap you!

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
