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

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
