Hi There,

Been on SAU for at least a half a year, never commented on anything just read a whole tonne of posts.

Shoutout to RBN1 and ANTZ whose threads inspired me to buy a 32GTR.

I've been slowly involving myself into the import scene - I've got a 97' Type S 180sx and an 89' K's S13.

After reading a lot about S13's I decided to buy one, and I didnt quite enjoy it as much as I had hoped.

Got a little bored of it, after trying to enjoy it (New paint, box and engine) and now it just sits collecting dust.

I read the threads created by RBN1 and ANTZ and their genuine enjoyment from a car inspired me. Both with 32GTR's.

Hoping to get the same enjoyment from a vehicle as those two did, i decided to buy one of those as well.

After much consideration I contacted J-Spec Imports who helped me in my purchase. Eventually, I got onto a 94 32GTR.

Currently, the vehicle is at the compliance house. But as soon as the vehicle is in my hands.

Ill create a thread about her, and hopefully inspire others to find interest and enjoyment in a car.

Im located in the Penrith (western Sydney) area. If you ever see me out, wave. It could be me or my old man. But we're both friendly.

Welcome Steve!
It does seem you have found yourself a very clean 32R. Congrats!
With motivation coming from Ants and RBN1, I hope to also see a build thread from you :)

Our next meet is on the 16th of Jan out at Penrith Panthers. Hope you can make it.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
