My R32 GT-R got a respray here in the US to bring it back to looking factory fresh but in the process the painters accidentally stripped off the top layer of the factory tire placard on my B-pillar so I've got a white area there now that sticks out like a sore thumb. I tried ordering one from Japan with the part number but I've been told they're no longer available. I thought I saw some people here who managed to get one from there in Australia so I was hoping for some help tracking one down. Anyone have one they can sell to me or know a place that does?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks but I saw that thread before and that's where I got the part number 99090-05U15 from. Unfortunately I already tried both Amayama and JPcarparts with the part number and they said it's discontinued. Since a couple of people there mentioned getting them recently I was wondering if there was a shop in Oz that had them.

Here today and gone tomorrow.........

This is happening to a lot of R32 parts.

In 5 years time the parts will be near impossible to get.

Watch the values of both good cars and parts skyrocket then.

Get someone to print it for you? Maybe get 10 made and sell the other 9?

I've thought of that as a back-up plan but of course I thought I'd try and exhaust all possibilities at finding an original replacement first. I figure I can just make one with sticker paper and my Epson photo printer that has weatherproof DuraBrite ink but it would help to have a good scan. I got a pic from a friend's car that I can Photoshop but a scan would be better so if anyone knows where I can find one that would help me out too.

That's the big reason why I'm spending the money to restore my Nismo R32 now. It's going to be harder and harder to get parts for these cars especially with the American market snapping them up.

That's just insane but I've thought about picking up the Snap-On tool kit for my R35 for future collectors value as well - the dang thing is just so stupidly overpriced I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I may have to do it sooner rather than later after seeing that eBay auction lol.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
