Finally found one, bloody joke. Anyways the guy i got it off MIGHT have some more, if anyone likes i can ask and enquire how much he'l sell you one for, just PM me. Cheers

The GTS4 pulls well out of corners obviously and is a lot of fun to drive, it depends what you can do yourself in the modification process. People who get everyone else to do their car up are always going to be paying a lot more (labour, getting ripped off etc). If you are proficient at modifying cars and know people who can get cheaper parts the GTS4 bang for buck will be better in my opinion. The extra traction is a clear bonus and installing a switch to cut the circuit for the fuse to RWD is great fun. Obviously as with GTR's can be understeer, but with correct mods, knowledge and contacts it's a great way to go. Not to mention it's different to most R32 Skylines out there...Thoroughly enjoy mine!

Seriously someone must know someone who should have one it's not like it's plutonium or anything. If no-one here has one lying around i'l just do the ring around the wreckers, but would just b more convienient n save me some time if someone had one. Cheers

Hey guys the plastic grey clip that clicks into the AFM on my car is buggered, ive got some spade bits etc there for the moment. If anyone can get/sell me that clip it would be tops (Nissan only sell the whole wiring loom). Prefferably with the wires already set in it and cut just before they go into the clip (so i can just solder it in). Any help is much appreciated, even if you know a store/workshop where i can grab one in WA. Cheers

Mint looking car, my mate might b interested. He's in WA but i'm sure u could chuck it on the train from him . GL with sale, one happy owner coming up i'd think. Cheers

Thanks for the replies, so far it looks like brake cleaner. Would anyone be able to tell me a good one, or doesn't it really matter? Cheers

Hey guys just wondering if there is anything you reccomend for cleaning the nissan AFM's, mines in need of a decent clean i'm thinking. Any help is appreciated Cheers

Yeah wouldn't mind having a look at a pic Cheers

Yeah it would be something electrical/sensors. But yeh,i'm just having one last look before I have to fork out my hard earned for a proper mechanic to check it out. I'm just going to get fullthrottle performance to check it out as i know them, and their workmanship is top class; cheers for your comment. Really hoping for some quick cue from ppls experience, but if not it'l be in the mechanics on monday. Cheers

My GTS4 is being really annoying recently by cutting ALL power sometimes the thing just dies (when driving along) and i can have my foot flat to the floor, sometimes jumps up revs quickly then dies again. I have found if i just stop it goes away or i'l just drop it back a gear to force the revs up, it also has the low speed stalling problem. The fuel pump has already been grounded (the black wire - correct), I haven't checked the idle control valve but i dont see how this is going to make my engine fully cut power. I have an inkling it's the AFM or connections, but could it do this, say if the comp lost signal from the AFM would it just drop revs to econo (safety/idle) mode; thus causing my problem? Any help would be VERY appreciated this has to be one of the most annoying things ive ever come across in a car... Thanks in advance Rhys

Why do you think he said mini godzilla? Reffering to the smaller capacity and less power, but still the ATESSA AWD. Your comments are seemingly obvious to most people on these forums...

Nice car mate, hope this bump creates some more interest! Cheers

Yeah do the conversion, how heavy is the merc though? I was gona put an RB20DET into a 93' 180E merc (pretty light), that thing woulda flown.. Cheers

For an immaculate R32GTS-t you could pay $14k but thats quite high thus meaning very low km's and near showroom condish; thats stock. You can pick up R32's for $10k but i woudn't usually reccomend them, a good price to grab a good R32 stockish woule be about $11,500-$13,000 to give a safe margin for km's and condish, would never be paying anywhere near $20k for an R32 GTS-t, as said in the Castle, "tell em theyr'e bloody dreaming". Cheers

As "Silver-Arrowz" and "siksII" have said just stops HICAS ruining your fun, and feeling a bit dodgy at high speed cornering by disabling the rear wheels from assisting in turning the vehicle. But I read my mates new HPI mag today, they fully explain a lot on GTR's as it's a "GTR special issue" and a good read for those who havent seen it yet... yes explains HICAS lock bars and more Cheers

The royal automobile club of WA (RAC) were going to charge me $203 for 3rd party on an R32GTS-t and i'm 19, from my searching it's a fairly decent price. Really if your'e wondering how much it's gona cost just spend 20mins n make some calls to insurance co's they will give quotes and a pretty close idea of the costs involved... Cheers

Found a post suggesting it could be the grounding wire to the fuel pump so i'l give that a go, sorry to regurgitate the same query guys. But will be back here if fixing the grounding wire idea is incapable of rectifying the problem. Cheers

Correct, theres no point leaning out your afr and getting pinging and possible detonation under high work loads. As you said much safer to run it a little rich and tinker with the timing. Also on the topic of these boost controllers, i have read quite a few pages and really dont have time to read 25 so if someone can vouch they work well on an R32 GTS-t/GTS4 i'l just get one. Thanks in advance

Haha yeah water isn't the greatest thing for your engine. Cheers for the comment. Have a top one. Rhys

Hey mate would you be able to say where exactly in the intake, i did notice that i had a bit too much oil on my K&N panel filter when i gave it a recharge and there was some residual oil in the actual air box which might be similar to what you have said. Cheers

Hey guys my R32 GTS4 is being a bit annoing recently, it's cutting out at low rpm at low speed or sitting at idle. Thing is it only does it sometime, usually when it's cold. Except it's not really stalling as such, before my connections to my AFM were a bit suss but ive rectified that problem (although it has somewhat come back, occasionally surging and cutting power - ie AFM not reading etc properly) but i'm about to look at this now. I'm hopeful it's just the AFM, but if anyone has experienced similar problems I would love to hear from you, even if it's to put my mind at ease. (enough to worry about let alone a very annoying cutting out habbit my car seems to have adopted). Thanks in advance Cheers, Rhys

I am of the opinion that the sunroof is obviously only as good as the workmanship in installation into the vehicle, but as a rule unless you find someone with good refferals i certainly wouldn't bother. For me they pose more probelms than they are worth, but hey if you want it that bad... Cheers

My mate has an R32 GTS (soon to have a VH45 in it), but anyways he's running 9' rears with 8' front and with 245 rubber on the back, the rear tyres were getting rubbed out a bit just on the sidewall, with lipping it's now fine. So that'd be a should/probably from me, and also obviously the R32GTR guards are able to accomodate larger rims and rubber so GTR experience is irrelevent in your situation. Cheers

Forgot to post this totally agree, again. Perth drivers slow down to like 50 on the freeway to merge into a gap. I put up with this crap every day going to uni and it shits me so much, when merging keep a constant speed if not accelerate and slot in, it's not that bloody hard! Cheers
