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'll let you know how it fits my R33... Hopefully that will at least give you some idea.

I'll update this thread once I have it.

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.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
