Rez's R32 GTS-t Type M... presentable version!

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.

Yeah oil coolers usually go on the drivers side... thats why I mounted mine on the passenger side.

[Rezz]

Used a factory hole in the front bumper that gives access to the reo...

Nice Marcus eerm, whats a "reo"?

[funkymonkey]

reo = bumper support rail

I found mine peppered with holes as well which weren't in use. I checked the service manual and it seems the reo was common for all non gtr models, and some of em have things like air ducts, foglights etc etc mounted in those holes. Instead of making different reo's for different options, we got one universal reo with empty holes.

I've gone thru and ripped out all the pansy air ducts attached to my reo and replaced it with nice thick air conditioning pipes.

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?

I know what you mean, and no, mine is not visible from the passenger side... but this is infinitely better than the no-front plate I was running for a few weeks there! Mine is also tilted down at the same angle as the bottom half of the front bar... so is not really that 'visible' per-se...

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

It's just the reflection of the fold line from the bumper that you can see... the plate is the same height as the top of the vent so you can't see the vent

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

My oil cooler is wedged in the passenger side vent... hence plate on the driver's side... though factory front bars on 32s are NOT GOOD for big oil coolers and air flow through!!

Yes... they're quite popular with circuit racers of all sorts. I think RE Amemiya used to use them on their circuit FD3S (the yellow one) a few years back, countless smaller cars use them ie: privately owned Civics, Starlets etc... at A$600 a rim new (for 17") they're not cheap, and they're one of the lightest rims out there still, after 10 odd years.

You could probably sell your 18"s for $1,200 - 1,500 for the set depending on condition. But I'd hang on to them... especially in 18 inch they're probably as light as Volk TE37s.

[bryanlee38]

awesome to hear ... looked up on the web but couldnt find much about these rims. Just want to know what they currently cost new, to know what other rims would be a fair trade for them, as I'm after something with a bit more dish. Anyways thanks very much for the info.

I know this is supposed to be Rez's thread, but can I just say that Marcus, your car looks so clean! My bro's 32 came with a GTR fibreglass copy, and thanks to Tein suspension and some car parks, now sports extra custom air holes.

Gotta love the drift setup cars - his mesh consisted of chicken wire cable tied to the bar. I think that's why your car caught my eye!

Hey Rzz...got any recent photos of your R32 GTST? I have given up on the GTR bar thing and am goign to get the bottom lip for my current bar...any idea of who i can order one thru?

[Roy]

This is a pic taken in March:

... but I have the 'Aero bumper', you can't fit my front lip to your bumper...

[Roy]

Aero bumper:confused: It looks like the bar that my car originally came with, so i thought if i grabbed another 92 bar then id be in business...which i was planning on getting another...cant trust panel beaters to buy the right parts:(

Thread resurrection

Well... this is probably the last time I'll post a pic of the old wine red R32. It'll be the last time because a very excited young whippersnapper came into our shop (TKO Tinting) and straight up offered $13,000 (THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ) for my old ride... he said it was the "phattest" thing he'd ever seen (he was from the UAE I think) and with a $2,000 deposit it was a sealed deal.

Here she is, at TKO workshop today:

...and here's me celebrating the $4,000 profit with a spastic flatland front wheel thingamajig... hehe

I must admit, it's sad to see her go, as I've had alot of experiences with that car in 2 different countries now... which is kinda wierd feeling. GOODBYE RED!!!!

Heres my poor Silvia finally registered and with Aussie 'shaken' all done:

The Silvia is staying around for the forseeable future.

Didn`t know you had wheelie skills.

Are you doing anything to the Silvia?

Yeah I'm drop (literally) in a CA18DET... ok, ok, I know they're old and shite, but I'm not looking for a massive horsepower boost, just something better than the CA18DE boat anchor thats in there now!

A Vertex copy bodykit and some deep dish black 19" alloys (Junction Produce style) will finish it off. I hope to have this done by the end of the Australian summer.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Bomex front lip (discontinued) cost A$150, and the wide aero fenders cost A$200 for the pair. Bear in mind that I bought both items off Yahoo Auctions Japan while I was in Japan, and obviously had the parts bolted to the car before I shipped them to Australia. It's the cheapest yet most time wasting way to do it.

good work mate $4k profit will do a lot to the S13! I still think you will need another skyline mate. sooner or later.
