Nice one chris but get that bumper painted! :P

yeah, will get onto it when more pressing issues like coolant leaks are all fixed, chasing my tail with the plethora of heater hoses under the inlet manifold, fix one then another leaks, time to order a silicon kit & replace the lot i think

Hey guys hoping for a bit of a thread revival, as its good to just have a flick through and see whats arround. Anyone picked up a new car (R32 obviously) or major mods or changes to you current car?

Picked my new beasty up on Monday evening smile.gif

Fairly sure i saw you down at the Plex a few wednesday nights ago? possibly on the 11th?

Well heres a few pics of my Shitter, slowly coming along droped the motor in to see how much room i have to play with etc, plenum fouls on the clutch master cylinder :( so im not sure if i can find a more compact master cyl or modify plenum (dont want to) if anybody has fitted a plasmaman plenum on a neo in a 32 and has any advise feel free to shout out :)

Obviously a long way to go, will require custom pipework etc, but its a good feeling seeing the engine sitting in the car. rather than an empty shell collecting dust in the shed.

I have a 25 in my garage collecting dust at the moment because I'm still waiting on a gearbox. Mostly due to me being lazy and only just going out and getting a proper job but there is literally none around for sale. And when there was I had no money because I was to busy smoking ciggies and drinking export (yes I realise it's cheap but there is only so much you can buy on a centrelink budget)

Alternatively, you could give up smoking and drinking and save money :P

But fair enough, I've got a RB30E stored away until I actually get an import. Or Datsun :P

Dont get into this section much, but since I'm having trouble making decisions i shall ask for some advice.

So basically I've decided instead of buying another car I'm going to build my street 32 up, but....

I'm torn between the idea of a 30/25 or just a 25.

I'll have anywhere up to 10k to spend on the project and I'm aiming for around 400hp.

I basically need reasons why or why not for either of the engine options.

Any help would be great guys!

Personaly id go back to a std one however you could remove the booster or get a pedal box. Both of these options will make it feel harder to brake and are not best for a street car but are do-able

Bit of an update. Goes way quicker than before. motor.jpg

Man thats taking weight reduction to the extreem!

Cheers for the reply though a bit late haha, It was the clutch master that was the problem not brake, ended up going and getting and R33 clutch master off mayhem (always helpfull) and that basicly sits an inch further into the firewall giving me an extra inch of clearance for the plenum.

lol sorry read it as brake not clutch *facepalm*

You should see how fast I can push it now. I'm a serious contender for the Stawell Gift next year.

Oh and it is extreme by the way :)

extreme to the max???

Good to see some 32's getting some work done to them, don't see many down here anymore. Did spot a 32GTR chasing a S15 yesterday though.

Mine on the other hand is moving slowly, Work is way to busy to make any progress on her

    • I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
    • Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
    • I installed it all myself,  It was really easy to install.  I got a professional to do the degas/gas.
    • Finally had some time after working on other projects to jump back on this thing. Pulled all 4 wheels to check the brakes over and lucked out, only needed to bleed them/change fluid to get everything working!    Took it for its first quick spin (around 2km) up the road and ran great! Sounds like I have a left rear wheel bearing that needs replacing and there’s a shake in the steering wheel but the tires are absolutely junk on this thing and had been sitting flat when I went to first look at the car so we’ll see if that’s the cause.   Tach randomly started working but I notice if my hicas light comes on the tach stops working 🙃 yay for electrical gremlins 
    • Bunnings car park it is! if you buy the kind of dampers with the adjustable top on the strut you can see it, red, purple? So many options.
