ill let you know when there up for grabs.

cheers!

So pulled out the interior last night in preparation for the weekends cleaning / repairing / painting and found out why the hicas light was on and the speedo wasnt working. broken speedo cable. No doubt thats another fun job to fix

Just a couple of uninteresting updates....

Worked all weekend and got no where really.

Replaced the bonnet with a standard item. Removed ALL the stickers!

half way through replacing the water pump, but have decided to replace all the belts to. should have thought of that before but will order some today.

cleaned up some standard seats to replace the crappy race seat.

Took off the steering wheel to find there is no wires for the horn to work. so have to find the little piece of wire / connector 2nd hand somewhere...

none of the indicators / head lights worked. trying to do the wiring but its a shit mess.

1 step forward 2 steps back....

I remember this car from around 15 years ago!

It had the old green and gold plates that said BEAR32 I think.

I first saw this car at small car Sunday in 2000, good to see its being put into good use

Haha really?? Wouldnt happen to have any pics? Or know of the old owner or anything to get pics etc

Somewhere I do, I bought my 32 in 2001 and this was one of the cars I used to check out at all the shows. They are actual photos from film!!

I'm not sure where it is, but I have old camcorder footage of it blowing flames at a show at an oval opposite the brickworks :)

I think the owner was on here at some point too

There used to be a jap car parts shop called Peaks, back in 99/2000. The guy who owned it either had something to do with that shop or mates with them

It had s big gt wing on it then also, but no lpg system. I used to see it in town quite a bit, think the guy who owned it was a uni student

The car was also at Autosalon in 2000 and 2001 from memory

I remember it being for sale in 2003/4 also

There's more info on here somewhere but finding it is pretty hard being so old!

Good to see its still going, would have been one of the first 32 gtst in Adelaide

Already has front mount and full exhaust and full pump

Thinking

- Z32 afm

Hey guys just wondering if anyone would know why my r32 gtst cuts out,

I was at a set of lights stopped and my car just cut out completely, didn't stall didn't run out of fuel it just turned off kicked it back over and it stRted fine,

I have a feeling it doesn't idle right either, cold start it revs at 1100 rpm or higher which i know would be pretty normal and warm somewhere in between 850-1050 always changing and not holding a firm idle always going up and down if you can understand what I mean or is this a common 32 thing?

  • 3 weeks later...
  • 4 weeks later...

Not a whole lot has been going on with the car as of late. to damn cold in adelaide!!

The interior that was white is hanging in the shed drying, painted back to black. Plus put some lower springs on the car which will do until i find some coilovers....

And also over the weekend found a oem n1 GTR bar.

Also in the process of picking out a colour to spray it

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
