Can someone buy this so I don't do something stupid

You never want to buy an R32, you're always spending money on repairing, not modifying!

....In saying that though, I've worked on and driven Dennis' car numerous times, and it's actually fantastic and I would buy it.

At least the mods are done, leaving only repair expenses...I'd have you guys put it on E85 and swap out the HKS for a twin tip Varex but that's it. I could see that one holding it's value better than most. Any issues or condition / dent stuff you know about Matt? Looks very clean.

Biggest feel of going backwards though, from 33 interior to 32 :(

Interiors make or break cars for me

The reason why I say I'd buy that is because it really is just that clean... no dents that I've seen, no scratches. I'm not saying its a Micolour brand new respray, but it's a VERY clean example of a 32.

Interior is spotless as well, old, but still clean for a 32. I dailied a 32 for a year, I much love my 33's interior more but hey, good aircon in a 32 and you can look past it being old. Just as long as everything works which I think it does in his (bar aircon regas). I just installed those -7s a month or so ago, haven't driven it with those but they're much more fun. Expect something around the 340rwkw range if you're gonna convert it to E85.

Nah kind of glad when that happens, it rules out cars for me lol

Only one I'm perpetually sad about is that immaculate Z tune kitted 34R that was in WA; was actively flying over to inspect it until old mate took a deposit.

Anything over $40 and its not going to be terrible... I prefer in-ear phones for better sound isolation. Instantly equals better sound

Gloria has been registered 12 hours and phase one is almost complete already lol. Car is almost "cool". Still needs a few things

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
