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...

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
