I would be looking at pre-booking.... Unlike the indoor shows there is a shitload of space at SMSP so i doubt it would sell out....

My cousin imported a white R32 GTR from Japan around 2005

He took me for a drive in it years ago and I remember getting thrown back in the seat due to slingshot like acceleration! This is what originally got me into imports.

Anyway, had look at some old pics of it and the chassis looked CLEAN AS and straight...

Talked to my cousin a few months ago and he had sold it to some bloke and it is sitting unused.

So going to give my cousin a call later on to get him to find out if the guy wants to sell it. Obviously I'd have to convince my dad to buy the car and it would have to pass a vigorous panel/chassis rail inspection from the panel gap professor aka me....but there is potential to get it for a BARGAIN price.

STFU Benji!

You Wicked Wing! :P

:woot:

benji you ain't buying a gtr now your trolling fs threads that don't even exist?!

just kidding let us know what happens

Giving my cousin a ring tomorrow night, and going to ask him if he could contact the guy he sold it to to see if he'd be interested in selling....

:yes:

Just really hope the freakin chassis is straight, immaculate and rust-free. My cousin said when he sold it it was really nice and had no accident history. ..but that could have changed! On the negative side if its been sitting for ages itll cost a fair bit to get back into good mechanical running condition....but then again thats an opportunity for a lowball offer to be accepted and a gtr to be in my driveway (slightly managed to convince my dad that itd be a great car for him to own given how he's retiring soon and should re-ignite his car hobby =D).

Inb4 I get a job paying well once I finish uni and transform it into a 800ps R32 GT-R wangan monster equipped with HKS V-Cam Pro and a T51R Kai

:woot:

There he goes again with the over active imagination.

Bish, you POOR!

Get a job! Work, earn, save, buy a home. Then think about toys.

Otherwise I'm going to confiscate the keys to the Tokyo two young men wanking s15

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
