Hi all,
Very long time reader (10+ years), first time poster (and account created).
Figured it was about time I made an account so I can post my travels and comment.
Currently own a R32 GTS (na shell with RB20DET [73u, not a DE+t]) First 2 pics are of how I got it.
Came with the below:

  • Nistune
  • 1000cc Injectors
  • FMIC
  • Bigger fuel pump (forgot which one)
  • TD05 18g (antisurge)
  • Z32 MAF

Making 239rwkw

3rd Photo is how its sitting waiting for paint at the moment.
Since I've had it, i've done the following:

  • BC Coilovers (DS w extreme drop kit)
  • R33 GTS-t Brake set up (braded lines, dbc rotors, intima ss pads), running a BM57 brake master
  • 5 stud set up all round.
  • R200 4.11 LSD (out of a stagea), 5 half shafts out of a 33 gts-t
  • JSAI GTR front bar, Carbonetics GTR grill, GTR bonnet conversion
  • Genuine set of door cards (sedan door cards are the worst to find)
  • R33 GTR wheels

Still to do:

  • Refresh a non hicas R32 subframe I bought
  • Re-wire some of the bay (there's a weird issue that has a wire coming directly from the alternator to the battery light in the dash. Battery doesnt charge if its not connected)
  • Fix the reverse lights (currently hardwired from battery, to reverse switch, to tail lights to pass the RWC I never had to get lol)
  • Hopefully sort some A/c out as I have no AC parts.

Currently it is sitting at a mates resto shop where he has installed a new quarter panel from another shell I previously bought.
If all goes well, it will be at All Jap Day in Adelaide on the 26th of Feb.

Cheers,

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?

      R32 Gtr Long Term Love, Now Project

      By r32-25t · Posted

      I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again

      Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!

      curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
