    Ha ha! #hellafunctional Is how I roll!

    Thanks!

    I installed the wheels as well as the Nismo front lower arms which gave me a bit more negative camber up front. I am now at -2.2° on one side and -2.4° on the other. Variation may be due to my uneven garage floor. I'll have to get it aligned soon to get some more accurate numbers. I finally took some pictures this morning, but they didn't turn out that well. My camera has been having some issues focusing correctly lately, but this is what I got! I honestly like the wheel fitment with stock fenders. I do need to roll the fronts just a hair, but I think the +22 offset is perfect. Other than the front of the fender liner and the top of the wheel arch of the fender on large bumps, the tires don't rub anywhere. I do want to lower the front a little more, it's a tad higher than the rear.

    Thank you!

    Threw the AdvanGT stickers on right after I picked the wheels up from the tire shop. Had them install some Nitto NT05s in 275/35/18. I was actually surprised how much stretch was on the tires. I think I should have gone with 285s... oh well, lol.

    Little bit of an update! I've finally received all four of my Advan GTs! Tires get here tomorrow, so I'll have mounted pics soon, ha ha, but until then, here are dismounted pics. On my bathroom scale, they came to 19.6lbs. Not terrible for an 18x10 +22 wheel! I also installed my Ikeya Formula -5mm front upper control arms. They added another .5° of negative camber. Hoping to get my Nismo front lowers back from powdercoat tomorrow, so that will add a little extra negative camber. I may get to about -2° which would be decent for a street car. It's sitting at -1.5° at the moment.

    R32 Nissan Skyline GTR: Exhaust Sounds of Blitz NÜR-Spec Catback - Free Rev & Acceleration Apologies for my terrible on-camera performance, we sort of rushed through this to get it made, ha ha. Anyways, I made a quick video on the exhaust sounds of a Blitz Nur-Spec catback on a mostly stock R32 GTR. Enjoy, lol.

    Small Update: Updated the interior a little bit. Replaced the stereo deck with an old Alpine unit I had from my S13 and installed a Nardi deep corn wheel with works bell hub, as well as a new shift boot, e-brake boot, and center console lid cover. The latter three and the steering wheel are all black leather with blue stitching. I also installed a new Koyo radiator, Samco hoses, and a Greddy pulley kit. First step at improving the cooling system is done. Looking to do more, but this should do for now.

    Couple small parts arrived today. Works Bell Hub and Greddy Pulleys. I have a Nardi wheel on order for the hub, as well as a number of other parts, but they won't be here for awhile, ha ha. R32 in the USA problems!

    Thanks! Would you be willing to ship to the states? If so, could I get a shipping quote to Gilbert, Arizona 85296 for the front brembo setup?
  11. 2_Liter_Turbo
    For some reason none of the pictures work for me.
  12. 2_Liter_Turbo
    I know I posted the standard intro thread elsewhere, but since this is the states thread, lol, here's my info: I live in the Phoenix Arizona Metro area. Cars I own: '90 TH1 Skyline GTR '96 S14 (New Track Car) '92 S13 (Old Track Car, going to brother in a couple weeks) '96 P10 with an SR20VE swap (Daily that needs a little care to be a daily again) '01 GMC truck (super exciting) '57 Lincoln Premiere Sedan. (Sitting in a field waiting for attention)

    Snagged some used Nismo "Circuit Link" front lower control arms! Going to refurbish them before I install, now I just need to find the rest of the stuff, lol.
  14. 2_Liter_Turbo
    Understandable. When I have funds available and if you still have it, I'll see if I can work something out so you don't have to deal with shipping it. I may even decide to fly there with the wife for vacation and I could just come see it for myself, ha ha.
  15. 2_Liter_Turbo
    I was definitely planning on 275's for the rubber. I haven't installed the pipe yet, I am still waiting for the pair of turbo outlet gaskets so I can install my Power Enterprise outlet pipes at the same time that I recently picked up. As for the HIDs, they do suck, ha ha! I will eventually do a retrofit or just go back to standard when I get to it. Thanks for the input!
  16. 2_Liter_Turbo
    I'm interested, but I am waiting for the sale of a house to close before I'd have the funds. In the USA. Any reason why you are against Paypal?

    So the tires that came with the car started to worry me, so I swapped them for my wheels and tires I had on my S14 until I can order up some new wheels and tires for the R32. Wheels are 17x9 +22 SSR GTV02 with 255/40/17 Nitto NT-01s. That same day, I attended a little photoshoot with the local R35 group, so myself and another R32 (GTS Sedan) photobombed them a bit... Ha ha! I'm thinking of ordering up 18x10 +22 Advan GT's for the R32. +22 offset would not only allow me to dial in fitment with small spacers, but also allow me to run them on the S14 if I decide to. Just trying to decide if I should do the Machined Hyper Black or Semi-Gloss Black. Open for input!

    Ha ha, thanks! I am a bit biased as well.
  19. 2_Liter_Turbo
    Ha ha, yeah, we yanks decided to spell things differently just to be different I assume! Ha ha

    The fuse blows after about 5 to 10 minutes of operation. I'm pretty sure it's the coil windings, but I have to check with a multi-meter. Anyone know exactly what to check? I'll check for the part number as soon as I get a chance to get underneath the car, It's been real hot lately (113°F-ish), so I don't have a lot of motivation to work out in the hot garage! Ha ha. Thanks for the post!

    I've been looking online for quite some time and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I'm having the A/C fuse blow so my pump/compressor is bad. Problem is, is that I'm in the USA and I can't source one. I can't even find a cross reference or part number for the R32 GTR A/C pump. I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction, ha ha. Shipping from Australia would probably be a killer I'm sure. So hoping there's info out there on the interwebs of a cross-reference of some kind!

    Thanks! By friend Chris is a stellar photographer! I'll post updates in my build thread!
  23. 2_Liter_Turbo
    Also, I did pickup my first mod the first weekend I had the car, ha ha. A local guy was going to a single turbo setup and was selling his bolt on parts, so I grabbed his HKS downpipe for a pretty reasonable price. I know I plan to go single as well, but it'll be a bit before that happens and I wanted to get rid of the stock downpipe.

    Thanks!

    Thanks! Almost a shame... ha ha. Don't worry, I will do it justice and not ruin the car. I'm quite picky on how I do things. My builds take awhile, because I don't spare expenses when it comes to what matters. As for an RB30 block, I'll have to have it shipped from overseas. It never came in anything here. There are a few shops who do it, but they want a bit more than what I feel they are worth, ha ha. You pay for the convenience! It really isn't in collector's condition. The paint looks great in pictures, but it's far from clean, it needs to be resprayed. There's also some minor damage (not rust) on the front frame rails, most likely from improper jacking technique. As for how much I put in it, I'm well aware of the eventual costs, and it's part of the fun for me. I like the creativity that comes with building a proper setup car. Sure the money is a lot, but I'll just work harder and make more, ha ha. I also plan on the build taking a good number of years, so the pocket book won't hurt too bad if it's only a few grand a year, which is how my S-Chassis project has gone. Thank you sir!
