Item: R32 GTR Grill and Brackets to Mount it.

Location: I'm in Adelaide, but willing to pay for interstate delivery

Item Condition: Would like a good one, but can glass it up if necessary

Reason for Selling: I ain't sellin' it, I'm buyin' it! :)

Price and Payment Conditions: Thinking around the $100 mark with brackets, seeing as it's only a grill. In worse condition, around the $50 mark.

Extra Info: Have to have the brackets, otherwise I can't fit it. I'm thinking to get hold of one and make a mould of it, then make and sell copies. They're hard as hell to find, and no-one in Australia seems to make them. The brackets will be the hardest things to replicate at a guess.

Contact Details: e-mail me on [email protected] or reply to this topic. I don't really check this forum too often, but you can try.

Thanks for helping me out, and hopefully they're will be R32 GTR grills flying around the place soon enough! B)

Oh ok, might help to put this there next time! Sorry about that. :)

I'll get onto UAS - I'm assuming you mean Unreal Auto Sports (just to clarify)

Thanks for the heads up! B)

Thanks for that, I sent them an e-mail, should hopefully work something out.

At this point, from what I understand, I need the following:

R32 GTR Grill and Mounting Brackets.

R32 GTR Bonnet Latch

I already have the orange indicators, so that should fool people as far as that's

concerned. Will also need a different front bar and bonnet, but for what people

ask for standard GTR hood and front bar, it's cheaper to go for aftermarket hood

and bar straightaway! :)

...no idea why people ask more for stock GTR gear, but oh well! :lol:

Thanks again,

Adrian.

Just got an e-mail back from unique autosports, they want between 300-400 just

for the grill!!! :lol:

So, it looks like I'm back on the prowl, in the second hand market...

Why do people ask soooo much for R32 GTR gear? I can get a pair of GTR 32

seats for 350, for crying out loud!!! B)

Anyhoo, if anyone has the bits I need, pleeeeease drop me a bell...

Adrian.

Unley Nissan can get you one, a mate of mine got one from there a while back. It was $200, and came painted to whatever colour his car was

Bonnet latch ma be a bit harder to come accross. I ended up getting mine from a importer, who located one in Japan and sent it over in his next shipment. Unley Nissan may also be able to get these

Bonnets are hard to get, because they are aluminium, so they dent real easy, and most people that have got a GTR, don't want to sell them. They are sought after on a GTST, so they are quite rare

Thanks fellas, I'll get onto Unley Nissan tomorrow about the GTR grill, and try

to scope it out.

Thanks again, and keep watching the stars! :P

Adrian.

Just got a call back from Unley Nissan,

They want $1050 for a new bonnet, and between $300 - $400 for the grill!!! :D

So it looks like I'll hold off til I find something on the used market.

Cos for that money, I might as well do an R34 GTR nose conversion! B)

Thanks anyway chaps,

Adrian.

HATE TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO BUT..............

I TOLD YOU SO!TWO HUNDRED BUCKS WILL PROB GET YOU A GOOD CONDITION SECOND HAND ONE MAYBE?HOW MUCH DID U EXPECT FOR A BRAND NEW GENUINE ALUMINIUM GTR BONNET?

HOW MUCH DO U THINK A R32 GTR NOSE CONVERSION WILL COST YOU?

Edited by villain

Well, I was thinking a used R32 GTR Grill and Hood would cost around $500, seeing

as I can get a vented FRP GTR 32 Hood for $350. :(

I can also get an R34 GTR front end (Headlights, Hood, Front Guards, Front Bar,

etc) for around the $2000 mark, but was thinking to stick with the 32 look. The way

it's going though, might end up cheaper to look like a 34 GTR! :rolleyes:

Anyhoo, I'll keep an eye out for 32 GTR parts for now, and see where I end up.

Thanks anyway for all your help...

a genuine gtr bonnet costs more because (its made out of aluminium) and they weight next to nothing!

Fair enough. I'm not really in it at the minute for weight saving, just more the look

of a GTR over the GTS-T. But I think the prices are pretty rude nevertheless.

Thanks anyway.

well get a second hand carbon fibre chinese rip off as you wont have to pay extra to get it painted as u would with gtr bonnet ,or take an angle grinder or axe to your steel gts-t bonnet thatd cost next to nothing:)

There is a WTB section. And UAS sell em for $150

No luck, gave them an e-mail, they're guestimating between 300 - 400!

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
