Thats a great transformation! - but why did you take the sideskirts off, were they damaged? or..
Yeah, they were damaged... I don't want to use the standard GTS-t skirts anyways, I don't think they go well with the front lip I've got. I will put some skirts and rear pods back on though...

SS8_Gohan, no worries...we can source you anything from anywhere around Japan given the item is available. Please direct all sales orders through the following regional sales office/staff:

Central Honshu/Tokyo: Mr. Dave

North/Central Honshu: Mr. B. Munro

West Japan/Chugoku/Kansai: Mr. J. Karow

For any other crap (non-skyline) contact me :)

Important: Delays in processing of orders and dispatch

Due to the severe seasonal changes encountered this year in Japan most of our offices were badly damaged by typhoons and earthquakes. For the winter season again we anticipate there will be extensive damage from Asahi and Kirin.

Your consideration is much appreciated.

;) LOL

In addition to what Troy said, customers should be aware that there is an additional 40% surcharge on all orders. This is to pay for staffing essentials, in particular gastro-intenstinal lubrication via products from the above mentioned Asahi and Kirin corporations....:D

The remainder will be going to fund a company excursions - apparently the Kansai boys have yet to visit any of the other branches :):D

Hahaha werd... that memo was faxed to everybody this morning... :)

Yes and please note the monthly meeting will be held on the weekend of the Nismo Festival over in Okayama. I'm considering hiring a E51 El Grand from Nissan Red Stage for the drive over.

Your attendance is required gentlemen.

...(seriously no shit, will be big enough for us to all crash out for the night).

Just looks so awesome man, so much so that I have put my daily beater Honda Type-R in the paper today and once the cash comes in I'll spuce up an R32 for a daily. Never thought the R32 could look so simple, clean and down right sexy as your one is. Great that it's not trying to be a GT-R too, so refreshing. Loving it a lot.. especially the colour scheme. red/black=awesome!!!

Great transformation there. Love how the black wheels look against the bodycolor. Excellent choice. Also very impressive how you fixed up the interior..looks bloody new!!

Are you going to paint the front lip? Leave the mirrors black...looks really nice like that :D

DCD: yep, gonna leave the mirrors and front lip like that... in fact now that you mention it, the lip is painted already Nissan 638 black :D cheers

REDFC: thanks mate :P I tried to match the front lip to the wheels as best I could, the wheels are a dark metallic gunmetal... but I know what you mean about the grey maybe looking better (a la wine red R32 GT-R front lip colour). The 'cooler was Y40,000 from Yahoo auctions Japan.

Thanks Rezz..

Yeh i personally would love gun metal front lip :love:

Your car is awsome , makes the perfect daily 32!

Hey Rezz... finally got to making a bracket up for my plate - no self tapper screws, glue, or gaffa tape required! Used a factory hole in the front bumper that gives access to the reo... don't know why there are holes there under the side vents, but meh... what do you think?

marcus, looks tops!

i will hopefully make a similar plate setup this holidays after exams.

only thing i was worried about with the SM no. plates was the legality of it? with melb. laws requiring it be visible from 45° angle from the front of the car... can u see the plate when standing in front of the car over the passengers side?

im not sure whether its my shape of my front bar or not, but when i held my plate up on the side, it couldn't be seen if standing on the other side...

gramatical confusion :| hehehe...

edit: in my sig, if i had my plate where urs is. u would hardly be able to read it from where the photo was taken...

Ronin 09: nicely done. I too have been thinking about doing something similar but two things occur to me (beyond the legal issues raised by coco69):

1) Is the top of the side vent showing above the plate, or is it just a reflection? I would try and make the braket so that only the bottom of the vent showed (dunno why, just think it would look better :) ).

2) What about oil coolers? Usually they are tucked in behind the side vents. Do they normally go on the passenger or driver side?

LW.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
