Where'd you get that from Shivam? Yahoo Japan?

Weirdly enough, found them on eBay.

Hey rbn1,

Would you mind looking at the part numbers on the front section of the 3 piece side skirts? The small sections that attach to the bottom of the front guards. I need to order some from nissan and haven't had much luck on Google.

Thanks mate and keep the updates coming!

Sure thing mate. The front section that goes under the front guards are actually identical for 2piece standard standard and 3 piece Nismo. 76853-05U00.

Dunno why I didn't get this done first time around. Been old and scratched since I got it. Fiddly and lot of prep, covering everything but worth it. Satin Black. Drivers side, section done. Passenger

Ewwwww but yeah.

LOL.

Spoke to RPM this morning about replacing it. It's due for a service anyway :)

I almost forgot to put up why I was under the car in the first place.

Decided to pop the side skirt off to see why one of them has popped out and get them both replaced with the genuine N1 3 Piece items i'd bought a while ago.

Ended up being a good news, bad news moment.

Good news was, no Rust under the skirts.

Bad news was:

IMG_2745_zps0e0ef1fa.jpg

Front left jacking point : No wonder the skirts popped out. The sills collapsed a fair bit from what looks like, careless jacking. Have straightened the seam however, will take it to a panel beater to get it pulled out after next service.

Top view. Skirt can't adhere to the body as the sills bent in, towards the car.

Pesky GTR's.

Its not actually careless. For whatever reasons the jacking points are weak and you can take all the precautions you like and still collapse them.

Picked the car up from RPM last Saturday. Reco'ed both front drive shafts. Not too much fun driving a car with no aircon on a 29° day. Must get the aircon gassed.

Did a few minor things over the weekend.

Put the carbon bits on. Car feels faster already.

Makes the weathered plastic on the inside handles really stand out. Light sanding didn't help make them look any better, another item to put on the replacement list.

My glovebox had the old problem of popping open on hard launches. Was going to try fix the latch until I found a spare glovebox in my random 32 parts bin. Replaced the entire latch/lock assembly with a much newer looking one.

Thought I would have to keep my old key barrel but interestingly enough my key works with the new lock. Latch fixed. Boring but satisfying.

Anyone noticed the cylinder with a string attached behind the glovebox designed to keep it from opening with a thud? My one had been cut. (forgot to take photos). Will try and fix it.

Also finally put in the optional Nismo footrest I found in my spare parts bin. Looks like they're screwed in from the side but I just used a bit of 3M double sided tape.

Feel the power.

I hear ya, mate.

With a baby on the way very soon, the plan this coming year is to concentrate on cosmetics. Don't think i'll get a chance to do any full on track days. Maybe a fun day, motorkhana or possibly hill climb if I'm lucky.

That said, stay tuned. About to take delivery of something that'll really change the way the car drives.

(hint : it's handling related)

If you ever want to sell that footrest i call shotgun mate

Noted. I bought a couple of boxes of random parts in 2003 off eBay and it's been forgotten in storage. Opened them up just recently and found a whole heap of R32 parts.

Thanks mate.

The inner mirror cover/garnish? Those ones are just carbon dipped standard items.

Something that I did get from Yahoo Japan - Nismo rear pods. These are copies. Wanted to get originals but decided against it after I saw how much dorra they were. The copies were pricey enough.

These coupled with the standard bootlid & spoiler with lip, 3 piece sideskirts - Project 32GTR Nismo bodykit commences this summer.

That stuff won't work on the handles. it has to be reapplied. A recently got full door handles from RHD and they are surprisingly cheap. I think the part numbers are in my thread. If not i can go through purchase history and find out for you mate.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Yeah, I get that. I try to be as cost-efficient as possible with cars, and typically prefer to buy them at the bottom of their depreciation curve. I was looking at those Bilsteins too as they're roughly in the same price bracket as the BC's - lack of adjustability and being soft put me off, not that I want anything too hard. That's my issue with the Skyline, it's too expensive and it's reflected in my driving. I don't mind going full pelt as long as there's a gravel trap to catch me. Really, proper safety equipment is needed for total confidence. Well this just turned up for the BMW. I'll try and get the front together tomorrow and take some pics of the absolutely horrid rear end; perhaps I'll have a crack at the rear on Wednesday. I need to make the car drivable before the weekend as I'll be driving it over to London.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      While going through data logs late last week, I spotted a small issue with my WMI. My WMI starts to progressively inject at 11psi of boost. I'm using a 25psi cut in pressure switch on my WMI as an added safety and if the curve is linear, I should hit that 25psi on my WMI system around 13-14psi of boost.  As per my data logs, my WMI pressure switch only activates around 19psi of boost. This is causing my non WMI 4D map to trim for WMI. I'm presuming this is caused by the mechanical switch response time, injection curve not being linear or both.  I ordered a 2-10psi adjustable cut in pressure switch which should correct this. If this doesn't resolve it before my dyno appointment on Friday, I'll just remove the pressure switch temporarily and more than likely replace it with a pressure transmitter afterwards.    BTW Speedtek has yet to refund me.
