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

I actually have plans to respray it in R34 GTR Midnight Purple III (got my hands on the paint mix :)). Then I will do the Auto Salon 'circuit' :P SHow ponies and dyno queens are so much fun.

:P

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... ;)

not much mate, I was just winding NXTIME up. ;) Mine is pretty stock. :(

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

Thanks Richard. I can't wait to hit boost. ;)

I am going to keep with the stock theme and respray it stock gunmetal grey.

that's the way. the gun-metal looks awesome. :(

Man, I am itching to see it now. When you get it, I'll run mine again too.

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.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      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.
