Howdy all, A mate of mine picked up an R32 GTS-T recently and it had a very... colourful... gear knob that needed to be replaced immediately 🤣 I put together a replacement which is reminiscent of the Nismo offering, which I also really like both the feeling and design. I basically took what they did and optimising for 3D printing, with the exception of the top chamfer, where I prefer a filleted design, despite it not printing quite as clean. If anybody needs another thread size for the locker or if you prefer a top chamfer similar to the Nismo one, I'm happy to put something together for you and as a side note, I was really impressed by the TPU lock nuts. Originally I was going to use steel and then found out the ones I had on hand were sadly M10 1.5 pitch, rather than the required M10 1.25 pitch, so I had to get a bit creative rather than wait for the bolt shop to open. In the picture it looks a little bit 'rough' at the top due to the layering printing on a curve, but in reality it's not very noticeable at all and honestly feels pretty good in the hand. https://www.printables.com/model/910138-nissan-skyline-r32-gear-knob Regards, Sean

Yep PETG (Polyethylene terephthalate glycol), my 'go to' plastic, printed to precisely how long I wanted 🙂, about a finger length ha ha. I would usually grind up something but since I've got the printer I thought I might give it a try and it worked beautifully ^_^b So with regards to torque, there's a little bit of science behind the orientation of the print, fill density, fill pattern and number of external perimeters which can increase the strength dramatically, but you still need to work within the constraints of the material and the orientation of the model for sure. I certainly wouldn't be making a breaker bar out of plastic, but this little bugger is very strong for it's size that's for sure.

Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench

Poor kids these days will never know ha ha 😉

Exactly ha ha XD That movie has aged terribly ha ha, I do miss my old Nokia to be totally honest

Howdy friends, I found a few posts on 3D printing but thought I might start a thread to consolidate the bits and pieces I make for the my R32 Skyline and update the original post as I go. I only recently got into this hobby and for some of those obscure parts which are difficult to locate part numbers, or are no longer in production, the 3D printer is a pretty useful resource, albeit there will always be some cosmetic limitations. I'll list model files on my Printables account for those with their own printers so you can download and print at your leisure. If anybody has any ideas on parts they can't locate and want me to have a crack at making something, feel free to post below and I might be able to help out 🙂 BNR32 wheel caps : https://www.printables.com/model/808878-bnr32-nissan-skyline-r32-gtr-wheel-centre-cap Cheers, Sean

Hello, For sale I have a set of genuine (Made in Japan) Work Emotion CR Kai wheels They are 17" x 9" in bronze (MHG) with a +17 offset all round. They are a 5 stud rim with a 114.3 stud pattern. I've owned these wheels for over 5 years and used them on an Nissan Skyline R32 GTR with standard fenders (no guard rolling etc) and they were a perfect fit. No rubbing whatsoever. In terms of condition 3 of the 4 are quite good with only minimal marks and scratches from everyday use. One of the four has quite a bit of rash and will need a refresh if you're so inclined. There is however no structural damage (cracks, bends etc), never been involved in an accident or leaked air. Wheels will come with anodised blue valves as per images. Wheels are located in Mooroolbark Victoria (3138) and I would prefer local pick-up but if your in the North / West I'm happy to meet you in the Melbourne CBD. I'm willing to post to other states however you'll need to arrange a courier to pick-up the rims. If you have any further questions please send me a PM and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Price: $900, no swaps please. Cheers, Sean

Hey mate, You have PM via here and FB Cheers, Sean

Hey all, Here is the thread I mentioned earlier where they are discussing the 'newer' and 'older' style of steering wheels: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/349288-fitting-an-original-r32-gtr-steering-wheel/ "Older" style below - See plastic spokes that follow wheel at the back "Newer" style below - See round plastic behind wheel Here is a screen shot of the workshop manual - appears to be the 'newer' style of wheel with the round plastic with a hole at the base allowing you to remove the horn. The 'older' style of wheel does not have this hole. If anybody with a 1994 GTR could take a few pictures of their steering wheel we can compare. Cheers, Sean
