Heya Fellas.

Ok there are alot of people with R32 GTRs on the forum and I wanted to know your thoughts on the factory R32 GTR rear wing ... on or off ?

Also I have been asking alot of people about BOVs for the RB26 and I keep getting mixed answers. Do really I need to buy 2 Bovs or can I just fit 1.

Thanks guys,

D

Daaaamn! Thanks guys, I will leave it on yeah I guess thats what really makes the Gtr look.

and about the Bovs well I can leave the stocks on I guess but a friend is getting rid of his HKS Sequential Bov and wants like $150 its in good nick.. just wondering if I can use just one or not.

Also does anyone know of any nice skirts and rear pods to fit the R32 GTR. oh and not too hard to find in Oz.?? I'm thinking of getting some from "carmate" for $550 I thought that was cheap is it?

I wouldn't replace the twin factory BOVs with one HKS one. The GTR HKS kit has two BOVs. if you want them just get that. The only GTR kit i've seen with just one is the trust Type R kit and that is one BIG BOV.

It all dpends if the car is going to be kept near stock,

i have seen a couple o "autostyle" cars with the wing removed and just the nismo lip thats looks nuts but i reckon then you need to have buig dished wheels and the car pretty low

my 2 cents

there is no doubt that the rear wing needs to be removed and a nismo lip fitted. Definetly larger aftermarket wheels, (18inch BBS LM wheels look AWSOME!!)

There are a few 450+ rwkw GTR's going around melb with standard 33 GTR BOV's. They work fine, no leakage (and they are STANDARD EQUIPMENT which helps get around defect issues)

I am having the boot holes deleted and fitting a new nismo-tyle lip spoiler.  

This is my car before it was shipped to Aus and before the damage to it:

is the lip you have on it now a geunine GTR one that can be fitted along with the OEM spoiler ?

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
