So there I was, going through some old messages when I find something interesting... Someone offering to the sell this R32 with no engine in it, for $13k... 

And that was deemed expensive back then!!!

Had to trim a little bit to get the hoses on to the top hat and also ran all new wiring for the 2 fuel pumps and fuel gauge and after the cover was put back on with all the wiring tapped up it looks l

Bet there’s a lot of people who wish they could have taken that offer now 

I said it to my missus, I should have taken the offer when you gave. Even entirely untouched it would be worth so much money now!

It came up on my memories that on the 24 of April 2015 it hit 130,000kms and I went out and looked at what it has now which is exactly 134,500kms so in 8yrs it’s done 4,500kms

That's looking good Brett!

 

You must be super close to finished (in terms of the list, not necessarily time :P )

 

Once it's all back on all fours, and running, is this going to end up like a once a month car that you take for a cruise, or you're planning to still drive it as hard as it's been built to be driven and truly enjoy it?

 

I ask as I know some of us still love these cars for what they are/were. Whereas others are now trying to turn them into old collectible cars that should be in "private museums" and barely touched for fear of the loss of the vehicle.

It’ll be a bit of both, it’ll get driven on the street occasionally to just enjoy driving it and then taken to roll racing and a few events like that to really stretch its legs

It’s not a museum piece, while being a fairly clean car it was my daily when I couldn’t afford 2 cars and it has a few stone chips and etc on it, also has 134k on the clock! No one would use a car with that many kms as a collection car lol

The Commodore crew don't share your opinion, they'll put 400k km examples on blocks :P

Just put your spare Nissan badges onto the XR6 Turbo

It’s already starting to become unreliable it doesn’t need Nissan added to it to make it worse

Ok so the reason I decided to cancel all Japan day is I was finishing off the last of the wiring and started to look at having to do the relays and fuses for the fuel pumps, thermo fans, trigger for the power steering pump and etc. after looking at the number of wires that were going into the car, I took a step back and thought nah f**k this there’s a better and much neater way to do this!! 

insert pd16 (pdm) here and the problem is solved only issue is I now need to strip the wiring harness, remove the i/o 12 box from it and fit the pd16 instead

I got very lucky and it just happened they came into stock the day after I ordered it, now while this is a set back and will mean having to redo some work, it’ll end up being better for it

      Gtr r32 tank leaking: can I use stagea whc34 tank

      By Duncan · Posted

      Is WHC34 a 2 wheel drive Stagea?  4wd Stagea 100% fits, and I'd say 99% sure 2wd will too....they just used the GTR setup as that best suited the wagon floor. BTW I hope you saw Brett's post about potential reasons for a leak, unless you can see the plastic cracked somewhere, it is unlikely to be the tank itself leaking.  Can you see fuel dripping or is it just a smell when you park? Have you had any of the tank/pump holder apart?

      They did get back to me. First response is from the mechanic that did the work. The problem is that the information that followed wasn't in the original report, which again, I let car inspect know should have been provided and influenced my decision to buy. Ball is back in their court and they have 5 more days to respond.  The actual structural damage was not a complete write off as they had me originally believe.  It just needed to be corrected properly and cleanly as opposed to the botch job of whoever did it last on the rad support and undercarriage. Smoothed out the scrappy welds and did it properly plus painted.

      Haven't updated this is a while. -5 speed conversion is done. Then center console, parking brake handle, and mounting bracket can be adapted from a R34 since the S2 parts are all disco. Console is a slightly different grain pattern and color but works fine. R33/ R34 GTS (no booster) clutch pedal works as well as the matching master cylinder. Wiring is simple, jump the starter connector at the fuse box, note which wires are connected at which position on the auto neutral safety switch and cut off the switch harness and connect to the corresponding switch on the 5 speed. -Rear R34 rear subframe swap is completed. Full Nismo arm set, 2-way LSD set up soft, 322mm Brembo brakes, Ohlins Flag-R coil overs (need to drop the spring rate 1Kg) -RB swap is under way. HKS Step 2 High Response 2.8 BCD stroker kit / Step 2 V-Cam / GTIII 4R Kit I may not use the 4R kit but not sure yet as I've seen some pretty decent dyno sheets on it and it doesn't spool as slow as people think when you have v-cam. I have the wiring manual for the car and a spare 260RS harness so the wiring shouldn't be that bad but I just haven't had the time to invest in it. If anyone has a suggestion for someone who can handle it let me know! I have a bunch of spare 5mt swap parts and some Nismo 580 turbos if anyone needs/wants them hit me up. Located in California but willing to ship. As always, thanks to all the members who have answered my questions and helped this project keep moving!

      Did Car Inspect get back to you? How bad was the actual "structural" damage? What front surgery was required?
