Hi guys, first time poster, not really a long term reader, not new to the scene or cars not even imports, just never bothered with the forum side of things.

i have been around cars since i was knee high to a grass hopper, grew up with my brothers who were right into the car scene 15-20 years ago (im 25 now so that shows how long i have been in it), not much has honestly changed in the car scene, pretty much the car scene has had the same types of people, the hard core enthusiasts, the geeky car owner and the slappers that come with it.

the only thing to change is the cars and the police problems oh and the places to go, they eliminated most of the meet up spots and things to do like magic mountain, timezone etc.

well any way, i will complete my profile a little later and add pics etc.

current ride is a 92 R32 GTS-T, allegid mods are;

cushion button clutch (with a noisy thrust bearing, may be stuffed might be because its a standard bearing and the clutch is too heavy, who knows) r33 turbo with r33 actuator, gtr looking front mount, split dump pipe, 3inch exhaust, standard cat, some sort of coil over shock suspension, standard bushes everywhere (massive axel tramp going on), clarion tv/dvd player, GFB bleed valve, couple gauges, 6x9's up front, whiteline strut bars, option audio subs and amps, no rear wing (not cool need the third brake light) oh and a ton of knocks and rattles going over bumps, suspecting exhaust mounts and bushes.

future mods;

gps tracker, temp gauge, those alloy things to stop tramp, temp gauge (oem isnt working), decent service, decent boost controller, decent turbo, decent piping, decent exhaust, isotta interior bits, get everything looking good, respray and thats about it.

i hold a degree of automotive engineering, previous cars up around the hundreds but include, 32 gtrs, a walkinshaw, 32's, a purple 33, bmw's, 400bhp vk calais, exa turbo the list goes on.

i know how to use a search button so i avoid asking stupid things but sometimes if you dont know you will never know if you dont ASK!

yeah, i will get some pics up soon, when the weather is a bit better maybe after a detail.

so any way on the weekend i put a bosch 040 fuel pump in, discovered there is actually an apexi turbo timer installed but wth out the controller :/ so need to get another one, maybe, who knows.

i also put in a water temp sender for the dash as ours stopped working but now it just jumps straight up to half way and sits there, the actuator for the heater/air con isnt moving, not sure why.......

purchased a blitz twin sbc for her so i will eventually get around to that, put the tv dvd player in sub etc etc, so the misses has some beats.

i have noticed a lot of knocking rattling clicking noises going on, i will get around to diagnostics eventually, looking at some sub frame bushes and a hicas lock bar.

put a rear wing on just a gtst wing i got for 50 from a fb random, but also have a gtr wing coming so yeah (i think spoilers are gay but i really cannot be effed installing an eye level brake light in the rear window yet.

does anyone else's doors rattle? mine seem as though they are not shut properly or something is loose, also the passenger window needs to be pushed from the window so the window goes under this metal thing?????

who knows but insured for 10k so :woot:

needs a respray i think, so i will wait for summer oh and found a spot of rust :angry:

but if anyone has a front reo going for sale please let me know but only in adelaide and prefer south of cbd

cheers guys

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
