Took a picture of all my wheels today as I think I'm going to try and part ways with some of them. Could use the extra space and could also put that money towards things I actually need rather than some garage ornament lol. I'm getting the GTR close to a "fun" stopping point so I can focus again on my 240. (built rb25, full-race turbo kit, gt3582r twinscroll t4 1.06 housing etc). It has been a never ending build since I was a teenager lol. It's just time to get it done and have two running vehicles. I wish I could find a JUN hood for the R32 to match the 240sx. It's the best looking hood in my opinion.

Those Advans are underrated and look great on the R32.

I get so many complements on them. They just look so beastly. Perfect sizes and tire. Even people that are not into cars are like, that thing looks like it means business lol.

Added a few little items today. I put the nismo steering boss, steering wheel and horn button on. Now my hicas light comes on after a few minutes of driving. My steering wheel is straight though when driving. Not sure what that is all about. Could maybe just be one spline off? Is the Hicas sensor that damn sensitive? I will be deleting hicas eventually anyways, but the light just annoys me. I would rather fix it the right way if possible. Any ways, on to the pics.

Interior is starting to look 1990's nismo. Got another item on the way that should set it off and pretty much complete my interior I feel.

Nice collection of Nismo parts! Mind if I ask what service you use to order from Yahoo Auctions? I'd like to get some more stuff for my R32 that you can't simply buy from a regular shop so I'm trying to make sense of Yahoo Auctions now.

Well I got some parts in today.

Kind of a rare gem here. Nismo Carbon fiber radiator side shrouds. N1 option. This is the real carbon fiber, not that junky stuff you see on 99% of hoods and boot lids etc.

The ultimate GTR tuning DVD 2 disc set. To bad I don't understand japanese :(

got a small cell phone video of the exhaust. The sound quality actually surprised me. I am listening with a sub and speakers though. But I think it does a decent job at capturing the sound of the Midori Seibi if anyone was interested. Keep in mind, OEM rb26dett with OEM outlet pipes. Just front pipes back. It's all in the youtube description. Sounds nice and deep at idle also. Excuse my pops, when I said it might shoot fire, he wasn't expecting that lol.

well I watched that R32 GTR dvd. Got to disc two. They make a visit to Global Auto (where my car was bought). I about shit a brick. My car is featured on the DVD. They show it numerous times.

Here are a couple of pics I took.

It's so crazy. The only reason I bought the DVD is because I saw it on facebook. It was a r32 gtr exclusive. I seen it had some old footage of HKS and what not. So I bought it. I didn't realize that North America is in a different "region" than Japan as far as DVD's go. Certain players can only read discs from certain regions. So I ordered a cheap international DVD player off line just so I can watch it. Then bam there is my car lol. So weird.

I also have to say, the 2 disc DVD is awesome. I wish I could understand Japanese because they get into some DEEP stuff. The one tuner actually started crying, very passionate. I think it was Autech Tsukada. I can see how the Japanese car culture is waaaay ahead of us Americans. It's not like its not just a job to them, its their lifestyle. They also find a junkyard r32 gtr and bring it back. Was pretty cool to see that. They talk to numerous tuners. Show the building of a tomei genesis engine.....I see why they are expensive lol. Very very clean.

haha Tsukada-san is awesome. He comes out here every year to help with Steve and Kel's car at Targa Tasmania. Super knowledgeable and committed but still enjoys these old dinosaurs :)

Great trick to find your car on an old DVD, you should buy a lotto ticket....

Got my brake rotors and pads in today. I went with the Dixcel FP rotors and Dixcel ES (extra speed) pads. See how these things hold up.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
