Hey all, new to this forum.

 

Just purchased a R32 V Spec from Japan and looking to restore over time.

Looking forward to meeting some of you guys along the way.

Welcome to SAU....how long until you get to see the car?

Hi Duncan,

I picked up the car in August last year.

Just swapped out the old suspension for some basic BC's and started driving it.

Welcome

Thanks GTSBoy for reporting this lowlife.

On investigation this is another scammer. They have sent 2 PMs to people as follows:

To Marzoum - Hi Mate, a member of the forum have some BNR32 Front driver side (right) abs sensor for sale. He goes by "oktaytrz" here, you can reach him at [email protected]

To cabramatta - Hi Mate, a member of the forum have some R34 GTT Manual Gearbox for sale. He goes by "oktaytrz" here, you can reach him at [email protected] 

Well constructed really, because oktaytrz is a long term, previously active but now inactive member, and by redirecting them to the scammer's email instead of the real members email it may well be effective phishing.

Please be cautious of any PM directing you to an off forum email, of course we have no visibility of what happens outside the forums.

Seems to be not the first time for that guy @Duncan. Was successful before as well. See the below post where he was redirecting to the same email. I like to believe there is a special place in hell for people like that.

@PranK put in a post limit before messaging but looks like that doesn't really help. Just invites cheap posts on welcome topics. Not sure what can help here. Maybe a warning when opening private messages?

Yeah I had mentioned to Duncan that limiting messages is a little tricky but that this has happened again I'll get this done in the next few days.

And yes @soviet_merlin I'll put a warning banner on the top of the messages screen, nice idea! :thumbsup:

Perhaps a specific line saying to be very wary of communications with e-mail addresses proffered as "being how you contact this user". Part of the "make sure you know who you're talking to" that you already have, but a bit more specific.

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.

      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?
