Not too much in the way of updates as I've been working remote a bit lately.

Have had the driveshaft's overhauled and had it back on the dyno chasing more midrange which was successful.

Now just trying to enjoy her for the moment, a few pics from the weekend taken by a mate.

Will use this for doing the things I'm now too soft to do in the GTR :blush:

Needs a bit of work but couldn't knock it back for the $$$ already has blacktop SR20, R32 GTR brakes (5 stud) etc...

5 - Removed my front Bilstiens as one had begun to leak and have sent them off to Quadrant suspensions in Victoria for a rebuild (significantly cheaper than anyone here in Adelaide :()

Just out of interest what is the model number of the Bilsteins and how long is the shock body?

Picked up some Enkei RPF01's in exact same sizes as my Rays Impul RSII's (18 x 9.5" +15 all round), bit of an impulse buy.

Love my other rims in the flesh but black on grey doesn't look the best in photos, Love the gold enkei's in photos but unsure about them in the flesh, mmmmmm.

Put my other rims up for sale but probably won't be too disappointed if they don't sell.

ive got the same in matte black - those are the best straight up fit for the r32

love the offsetting colors

what rubber you got on those?

They came with some plain almost brand new Achilles ATR sports but I'm trying to move them on and have ordered some Nankang NS-2R semi slicks, the reviews they get seem to be hard to go past for a weekend warrior which sees the odd hillclimb for <$150 a corner.

    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
    • I think even the "commercial" capacity ones that you would hire from supermarkets etc wouldn't have the capacity to do all that much in one go. I will go through half a dozen tanks of solution and dumps/rinses of the waste tank for one little 2 seat sofa. Or similar for one 6 footish rug. That's the price you pay for something small that only takes up a bit of cupboard space, instead of something that takes up the entire laundry cupboard or half the shed.
