An an N1 would be nice but no doubt out of my price range haha

Gho5t, thanks for that link, I was following it on yahoo auction.

Can anyone put me in contact with someone that has an N1 with the factory non-AC equipment still installed?

Post a larger and more clear pic...

But from what I think, it's either timing belt or gearbox oil...

I know someone that has a non AC equip R32 N1. What is it that you would like to know? PM me.

Going to look at a KH2 (Gunmetal)1993 V spec this afternoon

It's got an R33 engine apparently but comes with the original engine...

Looks mostly original beside wheels but I think the original wheels come with it

120,000 odd kms

Ha not yet Anthony!

Bob, it did not go well. Car had been resprayed, in totally the wrong colour! The body was straight but it would need to be painted again, properly.

Overall in pretty poor condition and would of required waaay to much work to get back to a state I'd be remotely happy with.

Let me know if you guys come across any V specs or V spec II

But I am thinking it be the case of buying from Japan...

Did the V spec II come in KH2 colour??

Firstly, yes...... KH2 was available in V-Spec 2.

They do command a premium but like most R32's finding a good one takes time.

I'm just spending an insane amount of money on mine to get it right.

I'm past the point of no return and just couldn't be bothered starting all over again finding another. I know how hard it is.

I'll post up pics once completed, hopefully this week but in a nutshell, all rust areas will be repaired including the driver side rear quarter panel and sill etc.

The entire RHS will be painted as is the front bar.

Money pit but nearly there!

Bob.

out of curiosity Bob who is repairing / restoring your car?

out of curiosity Bob who is repairing / restoring your car?

My guy who I have been using for 7 years recently picked up AAMI and has become a preferred repairer and simply can't do private work at the moment.

I then asked around and was recommended a BMW preferred repairer who's credentials are excellent.

Unfortunately he is a fair bit dearer than my previous guy but I think will do a better job.

I've always struggled withmy previous guy's colour matching........... But as the old cliche goes, you get what you pay for.

Once I collect the car, I'll post up his details if I think he deserves it.

please do. Am keen to see the results

I think it's good value and if I was in the market I'd probably jump on it.

The only thing is to make sure it's a genuine V-Spec 2.

It doesn't take much to add wheels and Brembo brakes.

The spare wheel is yellow and I always thought the V-Specs got the larger black space saver to fit over the bigger brakes, I know mine has.

Yet, both my ADM's have the smaller yellow spares.

The blue ID plate on the fire wall will confirm its legitimacy.

Cheers,

Bob.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
