Hi all Nebie from SA

Just brought my first import a few weeks ago. A rough defected R32 GTR. I worked flat out and gave it all the love and money it deserved, Then some cu#t stole it from my GF's mum's driveway. Not to be disheartened tho the very next day I brought a un complied Veilside Combat R32 GTR. That i was going to use the parts off to make the rough one awesome now i think I might keep it for track use and keep out of sight of a$holes.

just a note to the thieves dont bother looking for the veilside one where you stole the last one from its not there and if you found any thing in the car with my address on it its not there ether.

Welcome to SAU. Sorry to hear about the 32, I had mine broken into about a month ago down at Glenelg down at a mates place while I saw passed out at home down south, only had the car vor about 3-4 months :( Love the Veilside 32 looks great. Hope you find the other 32 unharmed.

it's been over a week and the rough 32 is still missing its prob all been put in a shit box VL by now.

With the Veilside GTR I bought it over the phone on word from a mate and he has no idea (he drives a WRX lol). So you can under stand how happy I was when we turned up with a car trailer and found what looked to be a genuine Veilside Combat (engine in storage but I had been told that). With a huge Trust inter cooler. then I got even happyer when i opened the glove box to find a Autronic and under the bonnet I find some crazy coil packs and adjustable coil over tops, then in the boot I find a huge fuel system with surge tank and twin pumps. Then with help from members we have figerd out that its an Endless demo car, with Veilside kit, wheels and exhaust.banana.gif

Then yesterday its finally time to pick up the engine and I get a RB26 (in bits) with forged pistons, a T88 turbo woot.gif, trust high mount manifold with external waste gate, balanced crank, gear box, flywheel with OS triple plate, adjustable cam gears, grex cams,a head with what I think would be garden hose injectors and a twin feed fuel rail and a light weight anodised crank pulley rofl.gif

I have a lot of work in front of me but I have the time.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I am probably calling this too early but I think I found what part of my problem is. I have a couple of dents that are fairly close to each other and I tried to fix them individually. Recently I put one larger coat across all the dents and sanded it and for the first time ever it's all even except for the edge where the bare metal is, I just need to put some putty there. I'm ordering some better longer blocks that are more flexible. Other good news is that the other repairs on my panel are flat even with the guidecoat. It's these 2 dents which are an absolute c*nt l lol.

      Murray will have better input, but I'd be going with less filler, and aimed at the low spots mainly, and hence won't need as much sanding, which then means get the guide coat on earlier. That's how I'd do it, BUT, I'm not a pro, I'm a DIY hack who will then get the shits halfway through, and have one spot awesomely repaired, and the other spots look like a 3 year old was left unsupervised with workshop tools...

      Where is the most common place to locate it? Disappointing that Garrett won’t make a fitting for it since they know everyone will use it

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
