but i got a new drivers seat belt unit for the 32 gtr all up 180$ from Kudos motorsports

pretty easy to fit

old one stopped working properly and dropped out a few bits of plastic gear upon inspection

so i felt the change was needed

Right...

Last night picked up car after having the HKS GT-RS installed. Damn thing whines like a whore off boost lol

550cc Nismo's, Z32, Splitfire coil packs and new plugs going in on the weekend. :P

Then just waiting on a tune and I'll get the HICAS lockbar put in.

You should buy my split dump for the Stag Todd, you know you want to! :)

Got the R32 running today :cheers: After i bought it 3 months ago with a blown head gasket its been nothing short of a headache, but today I got it fired up - and I couldn't be happier! now I just need to register it + wheel alignment and she will be ready to go

Quick run down;

R32 GTS4

Freshened up engine, new gaskets etc...

RB25 turbo, split dump and R34 intercooler

Standard airbox with opened up intake

Not much, but it all looks completely stock - just the way I like it

engine should be dropped out of my car tomorrow. the bolts came of the rear turbo dump pipe, locktite and locking nuts ovisly couldn't handle the power :D (crash landing in a padick probaby didn't help it). Also will fix some kinked p/s lines, oil and coolent leaks, and subframe bushes.

updates (from about a month ago)

New engine is in and the big garrett single turbo setup and all the gear, now starting to get the exterior the way i want it...

is that an after market front lip? it looks the same as the twoogle one off HPI. where dod you get it if you dont mind me asking?

Our Stagea blew a head gasket over cristmas holidays. Took a couple of days to get head off. I match port head, manifolds and dump pipe (CES 3"). Took head to machine shop and it only needed a touchup on exhausts and a plane. They took out sharp edges in ports under seats. Just waiting on vrs, head bolts and 100k service kit (timing belt etc) to turn up. I put Whiteline sway bars front & back and Apexi height and damper shocks in front last weekend. Adjustable ex. timing turned up yesterday (Az StrYder). I have a new 1" core rad. to go in. The rad. taken out is OK for a spare or cheap replacement. The car already has a full 3" exhaust. We bought a set of 18" mags a week before h/g went. Hanging to get it back together and get it tuned with Apexi AVCR assisted by Apexi 'Multi Checker'.

Got mine to the turn key point. started fine and was idling/reving well. after shutting it down to check for leaks i restarted it and if you rev it there are no misses but when it drops back to idle it stalls. any ideas?

Check for leaks (air) and correct plumbing. May have been runing in cold start then once warmed will change air paths through idle valve (if still fitted). Vacum leaks or hose on wrong may then affect idle stability.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
