Good question, and very timely one too. BATMBL will be exchanging my bulbs tommorrow (by post). After the pics are up I will set a date then but assuming the pics of my car and stuff are up by this weekend, and people come check em out... I'll tentatively aim for the end of the month - this will give everyone plenty of time to get organised. Then delivery I'm assuming will take a week or two.

So ... say we put give people 2 weeks from this weekend to put money in and get organised, then allow 1-2weeks for delivery (tentatively).

CC - Champ will definatly get back to u soon.....just had to fork out a bit more $$$$ than expected ( lol what was i thinking, imports = too much $$$$$ :rofl: )

Will see how i go, ill give u a buzz sometime soon. Ceffie going in for a HUGE service this week, so should be in the know how much $$$$ i have left

is this open to canadian r32 owners aswell?

plz let me know, ooh H3/H3C type @ 8000K  :werd:

Gday mate,

I don't see why not provided that the money that goes to the supplier account is $390 AUD, you pay the extra postage (& insurance if you want it) and it's possible to post there (with registered mail and the box size etc is ok).

I'll put you down for now because I doubt putting some more padding on it and taking it to the post office will be too much extra drama but I'll confirm with the supplier. Just so you know there is no 8000k kit, it is 8500k (which I think is what you meant).. also the 8500k will be very blueish and not the optimal light possible... Just so you know ;)

^^^ Thats great, is your supplier from Australia too? If he can give u an approx. final cost of this group buy, i can pass it onto our site, GTRCanada.com, if u want and do a group buy there in conjunction with SAU for us on the other side ;)

Oh, the HID kit @ 8000/8500K is just for looks, im happy with its stock output halogen bulb, so anything better than that is added bonus. Thanks for the heads-up.

He is in Aus champ - Just PM me your postal address because if you think there is demand you will have to get all the money, send it over, then I'll get the supplier (BATMBL from this forum) to send them all to your house to send out to your boys.

This is because we don't want to be dealing with multiple people from another forum and country to be honost as a. I'm not making any money from this b. I don't think there's too much money to be mucking around for the supplier.

Hope you understand - but pm me your postal address so I can ask the supplier to check it out.

Cheers!

All you SAU lads - JUMP IN!!!

Are we nearly ready yet?

JK

There was so much interest when I first posted now I don't know where it's all gone.

I'll chase up the maybes and hopefully we can get it rolling.

Will post back within a couple of days - PM me if you're eagerer than a beaverer.

hey, got a question

i was looking into buying a HID kit but i have been advised not to.

i was told the the whole system of HID is that is has a special self leveling system, and that they are not good to be put in cars that haven't got the right head lights.

does the R32 projector withstand the heat from the HID lights?

do you have pics of your flatmates install, i would love to see them

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
