G'day all. After a LOOOOONG layoff, there are moves afoot to get my R32 GTR back prowling the road and track again.

I know, as things are getting pulled down and refurbished/replaced etc I will find things that, frankly, I've forgotten where to find replacements etc. it's been ages since I've had time to immerse myself back in this world, but I'm looking forward to it!

I won't give up too much info on what my car will hope to turn out like(poker face for a good surprise, I'm hoping!), but I will throw the occasional question out to the masses if I need advice/help

So, let's see how I go getting the unicorn back up and running!

So: first question! The bonnet mould/front lip. I would like a new GENUINE one. I believe the part number is 65820-06U25 or now F5820-05U00? Does anyone have a lead on this? I'm waiting for Nissan Australia to get back to me, but I don't think the price will be pretty, LOL!

Amayama.com

And be pleasantly surprised at price.

By pleasant, did you mean in 'having a root canal surgery without anaesthetic' pleasant?!? I just checked now, and my eyes watered... The part was $404 the last time Nissan Oz could get it. Care to guess what Amayama.com has it at?

as far as i am aware the bonnet lips are sold pre-painted so the part number varies on what colour you want

are you replacing an existing genuine lip (genuine lips are rubber and have bolts through bonnet) or does you GTR not have one?

personally i wouldnt bother with the genuine rubber one - go aftermarket fibreglass. they look the same

the issue with genuine ones, being rubber, is that they are flexible. the clearcoat on your paint is not. any movement and the clearcoat cracks

i just had my gtr resprayed and it has a full genuine n1 kit. the bonnet lip was resprayed (as it was all cracked) off the car and the clearcoat cracked so it was redone. within a few weeks the clearcoat cracked again so the lip was fixed onto the bonnet with a plastic glue that doesnt move and resprayed whilst on the car. If i did it again i would definately go fibreglass. used a fibreglass one my gts and never had an issue.

the n1 boot lip is the same (rubber) and my one was too far gone and went fibreglass. You cant tell the difference.

Should be 1/3-1/4 price of Nissan AU if bought from Emirates.

Was the case with nearly every Nissan parts I've bought in the past.

So, my next step... I need to get the Nissan part numbers for front and rear 'glass moulds(I'm pretty sure the rear is many parts, so I'm assuming the front will be too?), side(3/4) glass and moulds(if they come with them separately; if they come as one part number, even better). I have a lovely friend that has offered to help my get F.A.S.T. onto my MacBook, but if someone knows these part numbers in advance, this would help immensely!

Anyone have some insight here? I've yet to see the lady that can help me with F.A.S.T., and I'm needing these numbers...

you dont need nissan fast to ascertain part numbers.

use this site: http://jp-carparts.com/nissan/cartypelist.php?maker=nissan&type=79

choose your model number and parts for that model are categorised by area i.e. engine, interior etc.

you will find any part number you need here. then you can take that part number to nissan, amayama etc

cant wait to see it back on the road. Last time you showed me it in your garage it seemed a shame to leave it there!!!!!

Oh, it's coming back. Not straight away, but it's coming. And once she's finished, I'll be happy to say I will tread lightly, but carry a very big stick...

    • 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  
    • -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).
