  1. lul what did they buy... cherry?
  2. bah... out of stock... will check back on that one later though, thanks man. considering a cf n1 bootlip and a cf bottom front lip just for the looks (otherwise im repainting the lower front lip matt black anyway) could go CF vents and bonnet lip... do you think that would look good or stick out like blue nipples? i have been trawling several sites, been all through Justjap, negun, RHD, Kudos ect and the wish list is growing. i was thinking of going back to stock airboxes but i dont mind the apexi pods, mounted properly so maby just a cf cover and a cooling panel to smooth out the engine bay?
  3. might give it a go. bonnet has some swirls, overall its fairly good so should get away with minimal cutting.
  4. FS SA R32 gtr door cards customised to hold duel front speakers flocking embossed with GTR logo they came as spares with my car and they seem to have screws holding one sides trim, so not %100 condition whats pictured is whats available. $100 for both.
  5. attacked the paint on the weekend, it was very rough to touch as it had allot of contaminants. bought a new claybar and went over the whole car after a good wash. very good stuff for very good price... do recommend. paint came up clean and smooth, looking much shinier even before any cut/polish which is yet to come. what seems like origional paint is in good condition bar a few scratches which have been badly touched up on the rear and roof aswell as what looks like an old area adhesive which as killed the paint in one spot. this will probably prompt me to respray the roof. roof boot when i do the roof i will probably try and replace all the window surrounds as they have perished as most do. drivers window surround has lost its paint too so another one of them will be needed. N1 boot lip was removed annoyingly, might chase down a CF one also a little disappointing sloppy fitting, can fix with a simple spray though Also my front N1 vents are a little warped and off angle, might need to get new ones and straighten them up a bit, just buggs me. The N1 lip has also started to unstick, might get away with being to re-stick this one down as their surprisingly soft. otherwise a cf replacement might be the go? not sure how much i will need to respray, im thinking just the roof and maby the boot. other than that a good cut and polish should take care of the rest. anyone know a good mobile detailer in Adelaide for a paint restoration, im not confident enough with a rotary buffer/ cutting old paint and dont want to fark it up.
  6. no help with the question but interested to know how much it ends up being once you have gone through the process.
  7. So this is also kinda going to be a journal for myself of the general car cleanup and process, I'm allot less knowledgeable than some so suggestions and criticism is more than welcome. So this is the car as i took it. 103,xxxkm stock engine apart from apex pod filters and for some reason an engine damper (pointless, yes, but shiny) front mount cooler in black which im happy about being a little inconspicuous, and some large silicone piping Mines ecu and strut brace N1 headlights Side skirts front lip stock boost from the stock solenoid and little signs of the usual engine paint wear. Apexi coilovers which are set at a reasonable height, unsure of rates but not overly stiff, might look at going slightly softer if i replace them. it has a fairly large jazma full exhaust which im very happy to say is quite quiet. no drone, no backfiring on WOT back off and generally done very well. the previous owner it seems liked to keep paperwork and has also provided all manuals and information gathered through time which im yet to go over properly, but happy to have. First on my list to do: the car has been driven about 2000 km in the last year so im going to assume everything in it has been sitting and needs freshening up. Full vehicle mechanical checkover Full major service, new oils all round. replace any belts, hoses, seals ect and generally get the motor and vehicle to a point where i know everything is A1 this will be done by a local shop Paul Pavlou motors who have a good reputation. address any paint issues address aged interior issues and removal of some aftermarket interior parts for VGC stock items such as steering wheel. fix up stereo tint new tires or new wheels and tires drive and love for a while as far as other modifications i will more than likley up the boost to maby 10psi just to wake her up abit but she will stay generally stock and tidy.
  8. saw a jim berry which needed a rebuild. could be a good cost effective way to go?
  9. lemme know if you feel like posting seats to sa or just rear seat and ur floor mats
  10. how much to send mt the cf cam cover? sa 5031?
  11. unscrewed it but it seems to be glued on somehow. dont want to pull it off unless it leaves residue.

  13. Hi all, Some of you may know me as i have been kicking around these forums for the past 10 years I have made my way through a few RB nissans amongst several other cars. My first skyline, my 31 TI converted to manual and slammed, i LOVED this car! My second skyline was my first turbo car, 32 gts-t running around 220rwhp and many issues, I had a very love hate relationship with this car, it did however start my love for the 32. i moved onto the 34GTT from there and i did enjoy the 34, but always hated the silver and hated the auto. shame as it was such a nice car. The price i picked this up from prompted me but im glad i did. so on the hunt for manual parts and maby saving for a respray to white i came across the stag. RS4-S pearl white manual stag, so i moved over and again i loved this car.... maby should have kept this one... but oh well not an RB but i do like this one too, my 2014 SSV ute tweaked up and slammed, i do like the ute anyway onto the point. I have always loved the R32GTR being the best looking skyline, and always wanted to own one. as allot of them are pushing there 25th birthday i decided its time to own one before its just too hard. so i started my hunt which included every single one on the net and a few trips interstate to drive and view, often dissapointed. after flying here and here to drive a few i realised how old they are getting which is upsetting. without spending over 20 and pushing $30K a nice example is hard to find. i looked seriously into importing one but my future plan is to import an extream example of low km vspec 2 in white and keep it locked away. but for today i want something i can enjoy driving regulaly, do i opened my colour options up. luckily i did find this one, in sa so no roadworthy to deal with. confirmed original Ks and decent condition with a reasonable amount of history and mostly stock, it has its flaws but all in all a good base. so i drove this home my plans are to clean it up mainly. drive it and enjoy it, find whats wrong and slowly fix things. as its not a special model or build im not specifically sticking to total concourse original parts but i want to keep it mainly clean and correct. as always i will have MANY questions so this will also be my place to ask and pick brains so all help is always appreciated. more to come!
  14. Thanks for the feed back, i have never heard a bad word about them, i know their obviously V8 specialists. good to hear some feed back about imports and RBs especially but still very thin on the google search. There going to service my new gtr and do a bit of a health check and inspection for me to see how good the car is. from there were gonna look at some mild tuning.
  15. so this is for 2 seats and 2 rails for $850? is this the seats pictured? description states 'Bride' Gradient text?
  16. need to... sorry want to get a cf nose lip too, mine warping off a little. bad adhesive. and just for fun
