I like everything but the wheels.

And the lack of engine mods.

And maybe the colour.

... But aside from that, it's pretty cool.

is that about the time you were giggling like a girl? :nyaanyaa:

I thought he was always going that..?

I love going for hills run during work hours on a day off. there is nobody around.

but i wouldnt be too keen to go today with this wet weather.

starting to miss driving the GTR, havent driven it in 3 weeks. its getting the engine mounts changed and the fusable link replaced.

the fusable link is really starting to annoy me, it keeps slowly burning out. when i last drive it, the wire was hot to touch.

i think its because the link is pretty old and stuffed, hopefully it'll be able to put some charge into the battery soon!

yeah I used to hit up the hills in the rain on my bikes all the time, love it; sharpens your skills IMO.

hadnt driven the r32 rb26 since I picked it up after the rebuild a cple months ago - been fiddling with bonnet mounts etc for the blitz fpr bonnet (still not happy with fitment, but its nice & secure and wont be smashing over the roof, not like the original bonnet did Lol). damned sore knee (left) now though from the gears, got to say the Bride brix chair is pretty uncomfy.

Should be pretty impressive once tuned correctly, power comes on strong, handling is precise, and the brakes work a treat. Going to get a few hundred kms onto the engine then have the tune finished off, ready for mallala track days.

Can't wait to join you out there repping the 4 door 32's Tangles. My new track whore doesnt have a 26 in it, but a 20 with a bigger turbo - has alot more top-end power than the 25 in my other 32, so it should be fun.

top end power is shit.

i would kill to have a reponsive tourqy thing :(

I wish my 25 R32 had more topend, it all happens before 5.5k, hitting full boost at 2300rpm is all well and good, but when youve got an engine that wants to keep revving but is only doing a lot of huffing and puffing, well quite frankly it sucks lol.

The black R32 is so much faster in the twisties than when it had the RB20 it isnt even funny, but I could imagine on the track the 20 in the silver R32 would reel it in. Keep in mind Im comparing a stock 25 with 12 psi to a RB20 with a bigger turbo - unsure of specs just yet.

Then you need my highflow turbo Dion. Response is similar to stock but it keeps going up top unlike the stock ones. :D

Twin charge... Crank and exhaust driven boost... Something I would love to do but at the same time I'm glad my car is the way it is (max psi around 3600 also), I can comfortably drive it off boost and save fuel/ wear and tear. Besides, if I'm on boost in 2nd gear or above my license is also at risk :)

Bit of an EOI here for a good friend who wants to get rid of an r31.

It's an 88 gxe auto, running but no rego, just had service blah blah blah, would suit track build. White on black, if anyone is interested he said he wants 1350.

This guy spent 15k on another one and it is a gorgeous car (he loves 31's) so if anyone is interested pm me and I'll give you his number :) I'm considering it myself but I already spend enough on my 32 haha

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
