Yeah it did sell for a bit for a silvia but still cost me less than what i got for my 180 and is much more heavily modded. I was more after a heavily modded r32 but they were very scarce.

The pictures don't show how damn low it is and the massive stretch to fit 215 and 225 tyres over the wide rims :P

No one seems to know. There is some more damage on the passenger side (see first page), plus some theft. I think the thieves accidently bumped into the hand brake and the car rolled into some other cars. :P:D I will worry about the aesthetics once the engine is sorted.

forget the engine, I thought it was going to be a show car? Not much point in toying with a stock GTR mate. You should build/buy a hard tuned Jap GTR, like mine. Or maybe just have yours sprayed and use it at car shows. :P :P

hahahahaha

My GTR was driven to the panel beaters to get fixed while we wait for the computer and tune. I have been promised that it will all be ready by end of next week. :(

I was hoping to have it ready for Compak Attak this weekend. Maybe nxtime... ;)

Charlie, great news on the car being nearly finished. When it's ready mate, I'll be out there with you for sure.

silver gts-t, I want to spray it in R34 Midnight Purple III, but I don't have the 6K to spare at the moment, and I don't want to leave the car in primer. Nor do I want to drive it with the damage to it. So, I will just respray it in stock colour to keep it inline with the rest of the car. won't attract any attention and blend it with the other million gunmetal R32's :(

Richard, can't wait for that day. I can't believe I have been so patient considering I am the most impatient person I know ;)

It's a pity WSID don't allow private days there anymore.

$2,000 for stock respray. Not going to remove any windows that will add over 1200 to the price. Will wait until the MP III for that.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
