Hey guyz

Im in the running to get an R32 GTS-T

Now just curious i know parts arnt always easy to find.. however normal service parts such as oil filter, fuel filter, air filter etc are these parts avaliable???

If so will most spare parts shops stock these??

And for my second question...

If say water pump or timing belt needs replacing where would i find these parts

Thanks

The air filter is the same panel as a Commodore.

Oil Filter, I think, is the same as the R31 (Ryco 145A).

Fuel filter is the same as some other Nissan (can't recall which one, but easily obtainable thru Autobarn, etc).

Thermostat is the same as a VL Turbo (even comes in a nice "Nissan" box)

When all else fails, your friendly Nissan dealer can get any part you require, as long as you can quote the VIN at him.

i buy the following parts from supercheap auto:

- oil ($30)

- oil filter ($5)

- air filter (k&n sell for $120 there)

- fuel filter ($30)

- spark plugs ($3 each)

as for timing belt - i bought mine for $80 from my local nissan dealer

as for water pump - ditto above

servicing the transmission - i used a kit bought for $30 from repco

the times of 'can't find parts for imports' really have been passed now...

good luck with the purchase!

Waz.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
