Cool discussion guys. Here's my take on things. The V-Spec models were 'order only', you went to the dealer and ordered your car. It has become obvious to me that within that process there was a degr

Here is the brief so far........

  • Bit of rust at the bottom of the driver's side rear qtr panel. Size of a 1c piece if any on you can remember what they look like! :wacko:;)
  • Replace driver's side rear qtr window and inspect for rust.
  • Re-do poorly repaired paintless dent also on driver's side rear qtr panel,
  • Remove, paint and re-fit driver's side skirts.
  • Remove both front and rear windscreens, fit new fasteners and moulds. (Already sourced).
  • Replace passenger side taillight. (Hairline crack, also already sourced).

Not really......... It's mainly the driver's side rear QTR that needs work.

Quite common on 32's for some reason.

I'll book it in for August 18, just after the 25th Anniversary weekend.

quite common??? Most R32s are riddled with rust.

It is not until you start looking deeper that you find it.

Considering the age of the cars it is only natural that rust eventually sinks in.

Glad you are doing something about it though

ADM's don't rust, mine is clean as a whistle :)

come and see me I will find rust. Trust me I have an eye for this

Especially rear wing stay brackets and rear bumper brackets corrode like mad, even in Australia.

We are one gigantic island, with most of us living along the coastline so rust will happen just a matter of time - just need treat it before it gets to you

But it gets better as they get older - it's the first 4-5 years that can be demanding

My 4 yo daughter is not only beautiful but amazing

Recently I have been taking her to club events with me and she loved it and lives being in the GTR

She also likes to help me when I work on the GTR.

The passion I have for the car is so obvious that it's becoming a passion for her and that just puts a huge smile on face

I only have girls but if they get involved with Motorsport at some stage then that will be amazing - if they don't well U don't care because they will always be my amazing little girls

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
