Hmmm i dunno about those racv test's.I sold a car once and i kid you not the car was imac.Now the mew owner got a test done after he bought it.....The car was an Isuzu MU,Now they said the wastegate is jammed on the turbo charger...now if its jammed open..it get no boost..now if its jammed shut it will overboost and **** itself....now after he had it done i checked the car and the report...they said the trans had leaks...there wasnt and leak at all...there was a small amount of seepage around the rubber hoses but it wasnt leaking...and the turbocharger OMG...i hooked up a vacum gauge to the car and stuck it in park and stood on the brake and wham it went to 8psi then cracked off and held steady......they also said"essesive black smoke"I got all the stuff check by allfleet deisel services in airport west and they laughed at the report..."nothing is wrong with it"the guy said.And to top it off when the guy took it in to get tested the radio worked and when he picked it up.....it didnt.I called them and the guy that done the report wouldnt speak to me and the guy on the phone said "oh well the wastegate musthave unjammed itself" I just told them i didnt think they knew what they were doing and the guy is very upset with them coz we had it double checked and there is nothing wrong apart from the radio prob which they caused....make your own mind up but id be getting a perfomance place to check it before racv...

I'm in the east malvern area. Will get it to my mechanics. Of course soon. The brakes didn't seem to work properly, I think the calipers aren't biting properly. That has to be fixed!

I'll let you guys know how it comes along.

It's clean...completely clean. No mods. Done about 42000Ks but I figured it's been knocked back. But had my mechanic go through it and it's in A1, the trims all fine etc. Only thing is the hicas light shows up occasionally. And I hate those damn rims...I'd be quite happy to get a stock 2nd hand set if anyone wants to sell. It's got a GTR spoiler too..which kinda spoils the understated look.

I'll try and get the web space tonight to host it up. Thanks for all the advice guys!

Red32 (Ross), a friend of mine is also looking for a 32, I'll pass the message to him. Although, I think he's looking at about 15-16K too. Is your car still up for sale?

Hi guys,

Just some questions about my 32 that I'd like to ask. I'm still a newbie here, so forgive my ignorance.

1. What the heck is a Type-M? What's so different between that and a standard GTST?

2. With my fan switched on (air-con is off), I notice my revs at idle keep varying between 650-850. And the tone of the engine note is variable. However, with the air-con on, it's at 900 and it stays constant. Why is this so? Anyway I can stop the variations? Do an ECU reset?

3. Where can I find a knowledgeable skyline or nissan sportscar mechanic in Melbourne? Any recommendations?

Type M = Turbo, Type S = Non Turbo (roughly, there are the exceptions

The revs are higher coz there's more power drawn from the engine (alternator etc) when you switch the AC on. Check it out, put a stereo in and turn it on, put your demisters on, put your fog lights and headlights on and your engine tone will change. All cars do it, some just do it more noticably than others. You could stop the variations by using a 2nd batterey to operate all accessories off and using a trickling circuit to trickle charge the battery only while the car is in motion... or you could put up with the tone changes. Personally I use the tone to check what I've got on.

Where can I find a knowledgeable skyline or nissan sportscar mechanic in Melbourne? Any recommendations?

Trying to find one myself, but meggala recomended sum dude in Cheltenham, or there's Dean, but I dunno if he does servicing. Ask them for more details.

Actually...the revs vary when I have no aircondition on. So while it's at idle...the tone changes quite frequently. Isn't that quite disturbing :D

Will check out ICEPERFORMANCE.

The thing is...my car looks different from those with a Type M bodykit. Is there such a thing? I'd like a body kit like that...not too ostentatious :D

u can also get Type - X which was the CA18 4 cylinder engine, the Type - XG which was the RB25DE and i think thats about it...

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?
