So hello there! I'm a proud owner of an R32 GTS4 which i picked up last weekend and currently getting things ready for the road.

Can't wait to get into it and take it for a descent spin around Brissy. Got afew things to do first and hopefully by the end of the week i'll have it on the road.

Just got the 32 back from the mechanics. I took possession of my baby on Saturday From John and i"m very pleased with the purchase. Thanks John 2thumbsup.gif . I knew it wasn't gonna be just the boots that need fixing and got my new baby at a good price. Roughly adding it all up, it isn't too bad considering it's a 1989 model and the repairs been done by the previous owner. So it worked out well so far. I hope no more gremlins pop up and set me back further cause i just want to go for a cruise in my new baby. Almost std with coilovers, 18's and boost controller but running std boost. It's even got a std side mount IC and std automatic front lower lip.

Here's a list of what i need done for RWC on my baby. I

* Exhaust front pipe replaced ( has a descent size hole on it)

* Clutch master and Slave cylinder

* Mount the pod filter and get a cover for it

* Steering rack boots and wheel alignment

* LHF Tie rod end and rack end

* LHF Lower control inner ball joint

* Front CV shafts ( still good, might only need boots replaced)

* All 3 wiper blades

* Engine clean up under vehicle

Diognostic Fault eng11( crank angle sensor or circuit ) reseted this morning by Rolscar Mechanical, Darra on Station Rd. He didn't mention the 4wd system but will get that done asap.

ohmy.gif I didn't expect that much stuff to be stuffed but if it needs to, well you then have to. huh.gif It ain't that bad, just starting to go.

Just hope it ain't gonna be over $700 to fix it ( wishfull thinking). Does anyone know how much it'll set me back?

I've got it booked into DRIVELINE SERVICES AUSTRALIA tomorrow and was quoted $300 for all the boots fitted but will ask them to get whatever they can do fom the list above done.

Does anyone have parts that i can buy for the repairs? happy.gif Would really like a front pipe and even the cat too, i suppose i can pull it off my ma61 7mgte but it's custom and i'll have to modify it to fit ( couldn't be stuffed atm, just want to drive it :lol: ). Any tips anyone? smile.gif any help is appreciated with thanks in advance. Cheers

BTW what kinda oil will i need to use for the 4WD reservior in the rear boot? Any oil preferrence?

      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.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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!
