rrrage interior looks clean as... good pickup.

Best thing for u to do would be justb to swap the position of the CD player and the TV around... very easy and should only take about half an hour. I had to do the same thing with the TV in Josies Soarter cause when u put it in park and the TVs out it wont go in properly.

as for wheels... on a black R32 the best is to go white with the stock wheels... white on black looks good.... black on black looks pox... and we wont even go into gold stock rims. at least the stock 32 rims look good... unlike those cheap nasty looking R33 rims... worst... ever.

cheers gojira ... will take that into account. we did some hard driving and braking while testing it out and the tires seemed okay, but i'll have a talk to the people that matter about it.

Yep... good idea. Mainly look on the sidewall at the treadwear, anything above 300 would concern me on a performance car.

Also just check, I think the tyres are mounted in the wrong rotation direction as well. :headspin:

Awesome rrrage!!!! Im looking for exactly the same thing, stock black 2 door 32gtst!

you said that you had to have it complied.. does that mean that the person that your buying it off only bought it in jp and landed it? I didn't realize ppl did that.

congratulations can't wait to see it sometime in the not too distand future.

The next calder night...want to stay away from Morwell. I cant punt a car sideways and wall are too close and too narrow and Morwell. So Calder seems the better bet at this stage:)

And i think a graphite colour with the std wheels looks bets. Black too dark, and white doesnt suit the style of the wheel. Or just spend the money on some King/Whitelien springs and the thin will look just fine and handle a bit better:)

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Probably, given that there is only access from the bottom end of it, go with a drill bit. Don't start too small. 7 or 8mm is probably the right size. You want something that can make a big enough hole to do some damage, but not so bit that it clashes with the steel or binds up and breaks your wrist. A slow speed is probably a good idea too. Once the rubber is destroyed, you then have to get the crush tube off the stud, which will be the whole heat/oil/cutting exercise all over again, but this time with the need to strictly avoid damaging the stud (any further than the corrosion might already have done.

      We replaced the connector just because we could and it was still there, once we swapped the injectors around it stopped. The injectors were something I had thoughts of replacing even before I first started the engine and in hindsight I should have

      Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?
