Wasn't an off the shelf colour. "BD03 Candy Red 2KA solid" is what i have written on the invoice. They made the colour and canned them for me. The cam covers are small enough that you can get away with using cans.

Hi mate, thanks. 2 coats Silver. 4 coats red. The more coats of red, the deeper and darker the shade gets. Was a bit of an experiment on my part as I was always wanted to know how to do it as well. It's a very deep Candy Apple in real life without looking too showy.

Stunning. All the time spent with the attention to detail was definitely worth it. Looks awesome.

Motor it came from was in excellent running order with nothing wrong with it. Was pulled from motor by Racepace Motorsport for full rebuild. Condition was judged by Racepace to be in excellent and reusable condition. Not needed as I had already paid for a brand new crank. Price : $350. Mobile : 0425 730 031 Pickup Hawthorn East or will ship at buyers cost.

Hah! Don't tempt me to go find one A roof rack that could hold a couple of mountain bikes would be cool IMHO on my GTR. Go through some twisties, go mountain biking, go through some twisties while headed back. Perfect day. Although I doubt I'd risk damaging/marking the roof to get the roof racks on there.

Awesome. I really want that roof rack now.

Old motor stripped of accessories. Importer told me it was a R33 N1 motor with N1 turbos - ends up it's a standard 05U block with standard turbos. New motor coming along nicely. 9L sump and timing belt etc are on. Should be completely assembled this week and turn-key end of the week. Will need to drop by to take pics of the final assembled engine before it goes in.

PRICE DROP - $300

Didn't have time to get the cam covers sent off for powder coating then wait to be sent back from Sydney so decided to paint them myself - Candy Apple Red All paint removed with paint stripper and ready for primer. Etch Primered and ready for paint Silver Metallic base coat First coat. RB26 Logo has been roughly masked up. Will peel off and use some thinner to get back to bare metal before clear coating. Dunno why it looks a bit pink in this photo All done with 3 coats of clear coat. The colour has a nice subtle metallic look to it that doesn't come out in the photos. Unfortunately after this photo was taken I put them in some bubble wrap & after arriving at Racepace I realised that after 2 days the clear wasn't totally hard yet so they have some minor marks on them Will get this fixed up after I get the car back. Shouldn't be too hard.

Sounds frustrating to say the least, mate. Bear with it, you've come a long way with the beast and have had bigger hurdles than this! You're close, and I look forward to seeing the final power run video with power graph

Too true. They're tough cars but an R32 GTR being a 25 year old high performance car is bound to have multiple issues unless the previous owner spent big dollars on it before you got it. (and even then) Like the person in the duplicate post has already stated - be ready to sink a few thousand more into it after you get one. Especially if you're planning on driving it hard. No one buys one just to drive to the milk bar and back on Sundays. As someone on here once said. If you can't afford to buy two GTR's, you can't afford to run one

"Potanza RE240s" ? Was wondering what these were. You might want to take another look at your tyre sidewall markings Unless you're referring to the old Potenza RE540s (semi-comps, not slicks), which I believe are long discontinued?

Bump. A few strange "will it fit X car" questions and one incredible time waster so far. Still here!

Dropped by Racepace this morning. AND.. ….....it's out! Engine Progress - Bottom end has been assembled and head is on. Tomei Oil Pump & N1 Water Pump Lots of progress with rest of car too. Fuel tank is back in with Nismo intank pump. While the engine was out I've opted to have the HICAS removed. Racepace Lock Bar in place. If you look closely you can see that the lines for HICAS have also been taken out. Weight saving of roughly 20kg for removing all the HICAS hardware. Power steering re-routed through cooler etc. Bilstein coilovers are also in. Front and Rear Sway Bars also in. RP don't see a problem with the current location of the Oil cooler so it will remain where it is. BMC leaking from proportioning valve resulting in all the brake fluid slowly draining out over 7 years. Will be upgrading to BM57 (R33/34 GTR) A few more things like the standard BOV's are also back. Roll cage will be removed shortly before the R34 GTR front seats are installed. Motor is getting close to finish. Will need to wait till I get my cam covers back from Powder Coating.

R32 GTR Front Seats With Rails Passenger seat in Excellent condition. Drivers seat is worn in the usual bolster spot. Will come out good with a clean. Not Separating. Will ship if buyer organises it. Location : Hawthorn East, Melbourne $350

OEM Nissan non Brembos with DBA 4000 rotors. Have bought a set of QFM A1RM's to go on there.Was thinking of possibly upgrading them as well but Chris swayed me, seeing as these cars are front heavy. Going to spend the $ elsewhere. May possibly get the calipers rebuilt depending on what the report is on their condition.

That's good advice. I think there is about 5mm clearance currently. I'll measure up when the kit is fitted. I will be moving to 18" 's in time however just didn't want to ditch the 17"'s just yet. Ants, there is a lot of "she'll be right" involved with this fitment haha I gave Comp Friction a call about those AP's and they were around the $4.9k mark. Hugely awesome setup but I can't justify the cost for my build atm. Maybe later down the track if I become truly serious about tracking the car again.

Will definitely take pics mate Well the old Brembo front brake setup has moved on and found a new home. Was really interested in getting one of the D2 Kits as they seem like awesome value. Wanted the 8Pot 356mm kit however there has been a lot posted on these forums about them not fitting 17" wheels. Well I refuse to believe that Import Monster were kind enough to lend me a kit to test fit and see if they clear my 17" track TE37's. Well you saw it here first - They fit!!! Tried to take a photo as best I could, they have more clearance than what it seems in the photos. FYI - Wheels are 17x9". Unsure of offset but they're more aggressive than my 18x9.5+12 TE37's. Good quality forged race rims like LMGT4's etc should also clear. Thank you Import Monster for lending me the kit to test fit & Racepace for bolting them on and testing! 8 Piston 356mm kit in red ordered

SOLD!

Nice!

Yeah I think I bought the DoLuck brace after I decided to take the full cage out. Was a bit depressed about losing it, as I really like it The paintwork for whatever reason comes out pretty well in photos but it definitely needs work. The roof is probably the worst with some bad bog work near the front and minor leak near the windscreen, followed by the bonnet where the paint is pretty weathered. Rear guards also need to be lipped and the paint fixed up where the wheels have scrubbed. This will all be done after Racepace has finished their part. Yup, Jack moved the car Was good to catchup with him on the day. The seats are actually off "Racepace" Chris's R33. (Snowman's old seats). I've given them a thorough clean with fabric cleaner since the photo and they've come out really well. Hopefully go back this Saturday when Chris will take my old engine apart and show me what went wrong. (probably rings)
