I knew it was damaged.. I guess it hasn't really surprised me yet, I'm hoping that the engine/transmission/clutch are all in good order.. Has anyone heard of a computer that says "GRID" on it? =Patrick

i was told blowing black smoke, probably due to hole in intercooler - considering the hole in the cooler is massive i'm not surprised - this will cause a whacked AFM signal.. Can anyone tell me how to fix this gallery problem, i have another 20 pics i would love to add, especially some close ups of the chassis rail and radiator support -Patrick

The gallery is being a shit, it hangs up on one photo when it tries to create the thumbnail, and it won't let me delete that photo either!! GRR!! -Patrick

Hey guys, Some of you are already familiar with the R32 GT-R I recently purchased through Prestige Motorsport. The car is now in the garage undergoing a fair bit of work! There are pictures of my progess in the gallery. Can anyone identify what intercooler that is? As far as i can tell the worst of the damage is to the front RH rail (pic in gallery) which has a slight ripple in it, and looks to have been pushed back by about 10-20mm or so. The centre of the radiator support (at the bottom) is back by around 20-30mm. This should be quite repairable by heating the rail and slowly pulling it back out into shape. I don't think a new support panel is required (thank god, i hate doing radiator support work) The story given to me by the supplier (accident happened on a dirt road) is consistent with the damage, as it looks to be a wide frontal impact, rather than a point impact. The amount of japanese dirt in there is unbelievable. The back seat is loose, and there are no seat belts in the back whatsoever.. I do not know how this car passed quarantine. Let me know what you think, -Patrick == UPDATE == The list of things to do: Todo: Engine flush Radiator flush B Engine Oil B Engine Oil Filter B Gearbox oil B Transfer Case Oil B Front Diff Oil B Rear Diff Oil B Coolant B Fuel Filter B Brake Fluid Power Steering Fluid Air Filters Windscreen Wipers Tyres Alarm Rear Discs Injector Service Timing Belt Valve Lash Inspection (maybe..) Done: Compression Test - 1: 120 2: 120 3: 105 4: 115 5: 115 6: 105 Spark Plugs - Used NGK BCPR7ES - Left at standard 1mm gap, will re-gap depending on tune Brake Pads - First inspection look ok - Check rear pads for uneven wear - Rear discs need replacement due to excessive wear Turbo Inspection - Some oil in intercooler piping (both in and out of compressor housing) - Shaft play does not seem excessive, bearings appear to run smoothly - Does anyone know how to check the turbos properly? For anyone who is interested, here are the costs involved in this. If anyone is interested i will keep this up to date as i go along - note that there are a few estimates involved - I have tried to err on the expensive, rather than the cheap side (no doubt i have also left a couple of things out).

Would you make up your mind on the date is it the 19th or 21st? you have 19th (which is Sunday) listed in your dot points.. -Patrick

you are a master. If copies are available i would love some. Thanks, -Patrick

Thanks guys, Nice to meet you all finally.. It was a great day, except that my mate's silver R33 that we came in got rammed in the ass on the way home. We ended up at the front of a 3 car pile up, damage is not major but still.. pain in the arse after a good day. I'll try to make it to the meeting on the 21st too. -Patrick

Colour?

I'm very interested in this, but as rmahnovetsky noted, would like more information please. Also pictures would be good.. Thanks, -Patrick

I thought the GT-R and GTSt bar support were the same - they have the same part number in Nissan FAST.. ? -Patrick

Which Blitz cooler is it mate? do you have pics/dimentions? Thanks, -Patrick

Could i get some photos of the intercooler please. you can email me at [email protected] Thanks, -Patrick

I am also interested in the HKS Intercooler, Send me a p.m. if you are interested in selling it separately, although i understand you have said you prefer to sell with engine. Thanks, -Patrick

Dude your pm box is full.. Please contact me re: the front bar support. -Patrick

Woohoo!! Mine is also on a boat now (r32 gt-r) It's on the Kiwi vessel bound to land in brisbane on the 9th of December. From there it's a truck to Melbourne.. my car was also transported to another dock - i wasn't charged anything however. -Patrick

Are the r32 headlights from gtr or gts-t, do you have pics ? -Patrick
