Did Nissan ever make an OEM car cover for either the R32 or R32 GTR specifically? If so does anyone have the part number? Know where I can buy/order one?

If Nissan didn't make one or they can no longer be found are there any other manufacturers that make R32 or R32 GTR specific car covers?

Thanks,

Carthik

Do a search, maybe on GTROC UK forums.

There's a few in the UK who make them from memory and price is not that bad. But not sure about delivery.

They seem to be more needed in the UK with the whether compared to here

Unfortunately good things aren't cheap but Covercraft are the best covers by a country mile.

I bought an indoor one for my other car nearly 5 years ago and it has kept its shape after 2 washes per year.

It's soft, doesn't scratch the paintwork and is very easy to put on and take off.

The yellow one pictured below is a CoverKing cover and its crap by comparison. The only reason I got it was Covercraft don't do yellow and that was the colour of my M3.

Expect to pay about $517.00....... I will get one for my ADM R32 but all my money's going into my JDM at the moment.

Here's a link....... http://www.covercraf...oor_covers.html

nothing but the best microfibre will stop scratches and that's ONLY if the cover goes on STRAIGHT after you've washed it. If you've driven it even on a sunny day and put it in the garage, hello scratchville, especially those fitted ones because there is just so much more contact with the car. Do you have to stretch it to fit?

And if you look in some parts, some of it is touching tyres... you take it off, dirt/grit would get stuck in the fibre, which when you fold it up will be dispersed around the rest of the underside and then you put it back over the car .... *shudders*

car covers are nasty things, and really don't see any need for a cover. If you put it on after you've driven it, you'll scratch it. If you put it on straight after you've washed it, it will be near impossible to make sure the cover is debris free and would have to be stored very well whilst it's off the car. Plus all these materials it's made out of will scratch paint, ESPECIALLY soft clear coated japanese vehicles. The cerami clear euro's not as much, but as JDM owners don't have that luxury.

and if it's an outside car, you've got wind to take into account which will induce even more swirling/marring and still provide no protection if a bird craps on it etc as that will still come through the fabric.

If these cars aren't washed every time before putting on these car covers, it's a waste of time (and even then, the fabric used will still swirl/marr). Just put down a really good long lasting sealant, layered it if you want. Top with a few layers of a nice carnauba wax for a bit more depth, maintain with a QD after washes and you'll be fine. No scratches, and super easy maintenance due to the great washing characteristics. My GTR is maintained like this, lives in the garage, sometimes doesn't get driven for a few weeks, and even if it does, dust is NEVER an issue sitting idle. Would never put a car cover on in a million years. That's what the garage is for. And if you're outside, that's what a good sealant is for.

    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
