Went to drive it the other day. No spark... Dead battery after sitting untouched for 2 weeks whilst on holiday.

So got the new one in today. Changing a battery should not be so bloody annoying!!!

Trying to get the amp out which is mounted on backboard behind carpet wall, then trying to line up the holes again to put it all back in.. sheesh

5 minute job is now an hour!! Glad I won't have to do that again..

strut brace wasn't so much an issue, as i replaced it with another skinny one, so slipped straight under.

A little fiddly getting to the terminal bolts though. Worst of it was just the mounting for the amp. It's mounted to the frame the battery sits on =S

Bought some steel for front reo, when i was in mitchell i dropped into trojan.

He has 18" gold Volk GTC rims. They fit. I like. I like price.

Are they good wheels?

I mean have people had probs with them?

GREAT RIMS - I have :yes: on my 34 GTT.

Check they are 18's.

I know he has a set of 17"'s

No problems. One of the best

Rays Engineering - cant get better

Thanks, will check.

They look in real good nik too.

9" for the back and 8"for the front.

No...

17"x 9" all 4

Hmmmm.... maybe i should keep looking.

Today i rebuilt the often intermittent R32 headlight switch. I Basically just pulled it all apart and sanded all the contact points, tested it out and it still did not work. :verymad:

So i pulled it apart and had a closer look at how the switch worked, everything seemed to be fine. However i thought it was worth trying to put more pressure on the contact points by stretching the spring mechanism about 1.5mm and it did the trick and now both headlights work.

The 3 black points have little springs under them that can be stretched to make the contact strong and also gives the switch a much better feel.

Also took the car out to check tire pressures

Confirmed my Central Locking is not working properly, could be from recent rain??? or the other night when the alarm went off cause of keys in my pocket.

Pretty sure yesterday the drivers door was the only one that would lock / unlock. (which is wrong)

Today the Drivers door is the only one that doesn't work. :(

Edit* Also, while looking through the paperwork I got with the car, mostly looking at the Alarm instructions etc, I flipped through the import papers. (guy I bought it from imported it.)

I can see that it says something about Auto to Manual conversion but I can't read Japanese (can anyone Help?) unsure of odometer reading at time of conversion...

In the pic of the car I can see it had Series 2 tailights on it but it landed in Aust with Series 1s. (confirmed by previous owner)

but also it looks like it had R33 GTR rims in Japan too but landed with 16" ASSO rims. :( No Fair!!!

r32 batteries are easy to change ;)

Time to re-arrange the front bit. Its too crappy.

Now i have a welder and some steel its time to make it nice.

And shorten those pipes, with an intercooler flip.

No butchery this time, its cut and weld it good time.

This should be part of my "final solution"

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
