To alot of the older members who may remember me

IM BACK WITH VENGENCE muhahaha jks ;):D

BOOSTA aka Pete!

I have just recently purchased a R32 GTST from a great import company in Capalaba South Star Motors (cannot thank these guys enough not once have they pressured me or given me the usual sale crap.) Thanks guys

1990 R32 GTST

Its got a genuine 61'000ks log book proven too

5spd manual

bodykit + GTR front bar

300zx brake upgrade

Apexi Coilover suspension Just Rebuilt!

3" full sports exhaust from turbo back

HKS pod Filter

HKS turbo timer

Plus usual Cold Air Con (just regassed)

The only thing im not sure on is the flairs on it, but the guys said if i dont like em they could take them off for me no probs. The best part is these guys will cover a clutch if it slips within the 2 months! other places laughed at me when i asked :(

Yeah i know what u guys mean, the flairs make the car look weird kinda crappy... I dont know why but yeh its something that i'll have to look at getting removed, apparently there stuck with a double side tape i just dont wanna dammage the paint cos its prefect, no scratches etc !

cheers Pete (BOOSTA)

I think the flares are OK, but I can't see the sideskirts lasting long being so low at the rear!! I think the flares go with the sideskirts and if one goes the other will look weirder??

Just an opinion, will have a better look next Sunday!!

Hey Guys Thanks for all the positive comments, Wow its nice to see some of the old skoolers still hanging around eg Belgarion, Squizz, and col.

Squizz the van finally died on me after it dropped a conrod through the block due to giving it a 1 wheel power slide out of a round about :)

Belgarion tell slip he better be comming on Sunday to the cruise so i can see if he still has my Rb25det :D and catch up too

Col will you be attending the cruise? u better biach cos i wanna drool over ya car hehehe!

It'll be nice to finally put the SAU polo shirt on again and actually be owning a skyline too, What can i say Im a die hard skyline fan thru and thru and always will be. THERE JUST IS NOTHING LIKE A SKYLINE!

Cheers Pete (aka BOOSTA)

PS. anyone know where i can find a nice big rear windscreen SAU sticker for my new toy? if anyone has one I'll pay cash on Sunday for it!

& if any one is looking for a GOOD QUALITY IMPORT go see the guys from South Star Motors there a great bunch if u want some thing changed or done with the car they can do it + there is no pressure :D as pete said

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
