YEAH SORRY BRO I ONLY GOT TOLD BY MY PANEL SHOP THAT MY 32 WAS READY LIKE AND HOUR AGO PICKING IT UP AND HEADING CRUISING TONIGHT MAYBE NEXT WEEK ILL PUT UP A THREAD EARLY OR SOMETHING AND JUST SEE WHO TURNS UP TONIGHT .

Hey Guys,

I just want to say that last night was a great meet up. This was the first official Skyline get together since I got my V35 sedan late last year. Met alot of interesting folks and the machines that you guys had were amazing. For those who missed out, we had a two R35 GTRS rock up, both were black and appear to be going on some patrol or sorty in the hills (they looked like a pair of jet fighters).

Also want to thank Mr Windsurf for taking my friend and I on a joy ride in his R32 GTR. That was my very first up front experience in one and most people that I know would not be so inviting especially with a pair of newbs like my friend and I...

I'm down anytime for a meet. I'll become a paid member somestage this week

Sorry mate I turned left and parked at dicksmith car park I was hoping you would do a u turn and see us .

Didn't see you there... ...Oh well... ...It was a fun night... ...I got pulled over right before pulling into my street... ...Girl looked at my licence and asked if I was out having fun on princess... ...I said "F that, I'm too old for that S--T!"... ...She then said, "I'm 24 and you look young enough for me to make a pass at."... ...Me = "Blah?"... ...She hands me my licence and says, "Have a nice night sir."...

So I may have then spent a little too long checking my mirror before pulling out into traffic...

Welcome to the forums.

How sweet were those R35s ... so nice to hear them let rip. Kinda felt sorry for the drivers having a bunch of fanboys descend on them from the moment they showed up, but sorry guys, it goes with the territory.

If you want a ride in my R32 GTR you're welcome any time. It's pretty stock but hey, that's plenty to have fun with.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
