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

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.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
