G'day all,
I've done a search that came up pretty much zero before asking this, but don't grill me if I missed earlier topics about this: the phone app' is still pretty clunky on such things...
So, I've seen people have customer embroidered car covers, custom 'cut' covers to suit specific cars with unique additions to the shape(big aero wings etc) and covers that have special materials inside and out to help paint or keep dust off etc...
All I want is a neat fitting, quality cover that's made for the R32 GTR. Who's got what and where did you get it? Come at me with pics and names, please!!

i had one of these on my 32. its fit for a medium was a bit too tight for my liking as it pulled too hard over corners. but the soft lining collected and held dust. i took if off one day and i could see it leaving dust on my car, i dont care about dust on my car but not on all the lining rubbing on the car.

I bought an indoor car cover from http://www.coverworld.com.au/car-covers.html

wasnt custom, just XXL sedan (could have gone one size smaller for the gloria). Its good quality and I havent noticed any marks on the car. it can get dirty underneath the cover when not being used or put on a dirty car. I just give it a vacuum.

I've got an older AutoTechnika outdoor car cover and dont recommend it. I found it rough, water seeped through and unless tied down PROPERLY would get blown off in the wind.

Hello. A quick update following Christmas.
Even though i specifically gave a part number, somehow I ended up with a different car cover. I think mine is a Silver or one step down on the product rung.
I have put it over the car and it is a very close fit on the rear end. The wing means that you only have about one centimeter of extra fabric. It's very very close to not fitting at the rear.
I put it on in the dark so pictures will follow...

I use two, the supercheap red fleecy/soft cover then a hailproof cover over that.  The fleecy is for to protect the paint, the hailproof - cos my car is in a carport - is for the odd rain drop and possible hailstones.  But I am pretty sure it won't stop cricketball sized hail, just the smaller golfball or lower I think.

I have a shed, but it is full, so the car had to sit in the carport.

Got the hailproof outer on ebay.  And stay away from custom covers, cos you will be replacing them every 2-5 years anyway.

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
