Hi everyone,

To start off with, yes I have done a search of SAU but has nto helped me :-)

Ok, I can find the sideskirts in the photos I have attached from Unique AutoSports in NSW, but what I cannot find is the rear-quarter side skirts that I have seen so many R32's with!

Can anyone tell me where they got theirs or where I can get the rear-querter side skirts?

Thanks everyone!

Corey.

I've got sideskirts and rear pods for an R32 2 door which I'll be getting rid of soon... if you can hold on till I put my new kit on (should be a month or so away) I'll be able to sell em to you. I haven't decided on a price, but it shouldn't be much.

R32 side skirts were standard on Type M and Type S, my V selection 2 etc, and optional on others. And that is what you have in the pic... "Pure (read original) sports side wings" is the exact jap translation, but meh.

As for those rear pods, that's not the one that mates up with the sideskirts pictured, I think that's a bomex copy or something.

Alternatively I've got an entire Vertex kit for an R32 2 door if you're interested. PM me if you're interested in anything.

I have looked on the UAS website and cannot find those "pods" anywhere. Type-M imports in Dandenong don't seem to exist, I cant find their number anyway :-)

I have emailed UAS and they seem to only be able to do rear skirts from another body kit, which looks quite horrible!

Anyone have pics of these pods on cars? or anyone with the "normal" or "facotry" rear skirts have a pic or know where to get 'em?

Cheers again people,

Corey.

PS: My car is an R32, just incase some people might get it mixed up for an R33. ;-)

If you really cant find them in Aus, maybe get an importer like UPI or whoever to import you some. It might take a while but youll definately be able to get some, and they might even be cheaper, as i imagine there is quite a strong demand for them over here.

just ring import wreakers, those rear skirts are on every 2nd 32 i sold a set for $50 a month ago

I have rung just about every import wreckers I can find! :-(

No one has them, I just keep getting number to ring, but still no one has those rear skirts, even though they are on just about every R32!

That is why I thought it would be easy to find a set :-)

how'd you go?

Rang Julian back today, but no-go for those side skirts :-(

He said he might have some at the end of next week, so fingers crossed!

He also had some other stuff I was after, and for less than half the price of other places!

Thanks again WazR32GTSt!

Yeah, he was busy all day Monday unloading a container, sounds like they must have a pretty big area as everything I asked for (besides the skirts) he said yep, yep and yep! And getting in another container next week too.

The skirts you got from there, are they the factory replicas? or even originals?

If so, I don't suppose you have a pic of them on your car?

Cheers

      Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.

      I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.

      Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.

      Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.

      hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
