It looks clean and mean, Even better up close. Top notch Julian.

With the gear box done it'd be the complete package I'm thinking.

Cheers

PS. That'd be 500-520 rwkws ? :P

Can you do us all a big favour, put that front bar on and take some more photo's, it would be on my computer wallpaper. That is one fat powerful skyline. And I'm not even all that crazy about 32's.

finally got one! got it from autostyle in sydney on sunday and just took some pics of it. not too clean cuz the rain won't seem to let up, but the car's in awesome knick! just a few slightly worn rubbers around windows, lights etc. interior's pretty much on par with the outside. not immaculate but quite awesome nonetheless. couldn't be bothered getting the keys to open it and snap pics sorry! but yeah, car's totally standard 'cept for the 33 wheels, cat back exhaust and turbo timer. very happy with it. gave it a thrashing yesterday but that'll be it pretty much cuz i'd like this car to keep working for a while but it's got plenty o' poke. cheers guys!

Damn, I didn't know there were that many nice cars in Canberra.

having only moved back to Canberra 4 months ago after being away for 6 years I noticed how canberra's car scene has improved (still too many lancer with evo kits for my taste though)

better put up pics of my cars just in case people spot me and willing to give a wave.

Here is the R32 GTR I got back in mar 2005.

Apexi AVC-D ( 1bar)

Apexi Multi-checker

Twin HKS pod filter

Twin HKS Super Blow Off Valve

3.5 inch cat back exhaust (unknown)

Blistein shocks (way too hard for Sydney)

Cusco rear strut

Juran front strut

ARC low GT wing (currently off due to defect)

Atessa controller

White Volks TE37 17x9+15

Ventus R-S2 245/45R17 (makes the odo alittle out 200mtrs/5kms)

Pivot Turbo timer

Momo Spider steering wheel (CF look)

8 ball type gear knob (CF look)

Nismo 320km/h speedo

HKS Boost gauge

Cheap water temp, oil pressure, boost(psi) gauge (soon to be replaced by some Defi ones as soon as I get off my ass and move the air cond unit somewhere else)

Cheap Earthing kit (don't think it does anything at all)

Good black wired alarm/immobilzer (obvious not mentioning brand)

Changed to GTS-T headlights

And this is my FTO, it's my rice car and hoping to get rid of it soon so I can spend more money on the GTR.

Anyway just bored at the moment and thought I'd post here. Hope to see you guys on the road.

Holy riced FTO yaf.......I spent way too much on my FTO =(

What have ya done to the FTO?

Yer, the FTO has been riced up before selling it. My cousin is a mechanic at midas and is helping me fix it up and sell it.

as for mods, it's practically stock except for rice stuff like gear knob, petals, seat covers, mags and stereo.

I sometimes get blinded looking at it.

Mivec, what have you done to your FTO?

I sold my FTO a little while ago but it had:

Extractors

Intake

Slotted rotors

Converted it to a manual.

I've still got a carbon fibre centre console part you can have if you want it.

And now I know that it is you I see at Midas all the time!! You came up and said hi to me the other night when I was filling up!! Haven't been to badminton in ages though so I haven't seen you there.

*swoon* =P

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
