Hey guys, reporting in from Canada, BC. Picked up another 4 door sedan !

This one is a red top SR20DET with an S14 turbo. The car was a little bit of an exciting pick up because it seems the previous owner didn't know much about the car when he brought it over. I've found the car came with a Greddy profec, 255lph fuel pump, upgraded injectors ( not sure of the size but they drain the ol gas tank pretty quickly ), 2 way rear locking diff, 3" turbo back exhaust, cooler box in the glove box :O.

The swap was done very very clean over in japan, the boys at Forcefed performance out here said no one could pull off a clean SR swap like this in Canada -- I was glad to hear this !

I'm looking at doing a GTR rear bumper and side skirts. I was looking for some information on the fitment, couldn't find anything -- probably my search fail :)

If anyone knows how the fitment is on the GTR side skirts and rear bumper, please let me know !

Thanks guys

I've been more of a lurker on the forums here than a poster :D

Glad to be back in an R32 !

A GT-R rear bar is no more aesthetically pleasing than the stock 4-door one and would require modification (coupe rear lights and other bits, and nothing lines up properly anyway).

The skirts on a GT-R aren't much to look at either (and also won't fit without modification).

You're better off finding the stock aero skirts to go with the 4-door and some rear pods on a stock rear bar.

Nice purchase by the way!

Any other questions just ask. :D

I'll take a look for some different side skirts and scrap the GTR Idea :)

I've been told the uras kit makes my car look too boxy -- and rightfully so ( on a side view ) Before I bought this car I wasn't a fan of the uras kit, so I think I've just got a case of the " I love it how it looks cause its mine " ;)

Thanks guys,

Its the trick of the camera angle. When you view the car on a direct side view or a rear - side view, the kit is a bit extreme. I definitely picked the best picture for it ! thats for certain :) it hides the extreme angles of the kit.

very nice, i wouldnt change the kit thats on it. Looks good how it is

You could pull the kit off but you'd have to run some wider rims and slam it!

How do you guys go about importing parts from Japan? Do you use Jesse Streeter as well? He would be your best bet for finding the aero parts as you probably won't find much in Canada hey...

Yeah I'm looking for a more clean GTR side skirt sort of deal, a local guy here has a set of "N1" side skirts, looks good. As for a rear bumper I think lll look for a stock bumper and go with a lip or I'll get creative and see what else I can come up with.

I'm open to suggestions :) I love pics guys, if you have an idea for me post a pic and lets see it ! I use to have an Aero body kit on my old silver one.

We have a number of guys to source parts from directly from Japan over on " GTR Canada ".

I'll dig some up after I get home from work. :)

Got hundreds of 4dr 32's alone so I'll try and post a few ideas.

When you say you'll go for a stock bumper and lip, do you mean boot lip or rear bumper lip?

I've wanted a rear bumper lip forever, precisely a Cross Factory one which have been discontinued for years and basically impossible to get your hands on.

I want something which are like rear pods, but wrap around the bottom of the rear bar and join up with the pods if you know what I mean.

Sorry for the hijack but if we are after the same thing we might be able to help each other out. :D

BTW, Eastbear make 'N1 style' skirts specifically for the 4dr. Not sure how easy you'd be able to get some of those either.

Sounds good, I'd love to see some pictures !

Yeah I'm also looking for a full wrap around rear lip :) I haven't seen any so I figured they are rare to come by ( this is why I was hoping for some other ideas ! ) I thought perhaps I could get creative and mix match a kit that flows together nicely with the GTR front end.

Are you serious? I'm trying to find the clip, not sure which hashiriya it's in. Let me know if you can pin point it I'd love to see it !

I have a DVD at home which features this car sliding down mountains I think...

It used to have "HEY MAN!!!"

On the sun strip... The DVD is called hashiriya afaik

Cmon it's not even tucking any tyre lol.

I'm not saying this is daily-able but there is plenty of room for wider rims and slammage.

This is how you pull it off. I know it's BN kit but same principle.

And here's a more subtle approach.

I think I have some pictures of a 2-door rear light conversion but I really don't see the point?

The coupe conversion is possible but takes abit of welding and stuff

heres a link to a guide on how too ... really not worth the effort or money

relocate it into the centre with the reverse light

ive pulled mine out and all that would need to be done is a orange small globe/led's rewired to original wiring and just superglued to the reflecter where the reverse light is attached.

or if you wanted to get really creative you could get a piece of wood (ones with holes in them) and wire top half of wires to the indicators (orange globes) and bottom half to reverse lights (white globes)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
