I went and got some grommets from auto one in clarkson today... Job done... Im liking the look without the rear wing but need to lower my rear end a bit for it to look better. Just as a matter of interest, how much would it cost to have the holes welded and the boot resprayed?? Has anyone had it done, where if so??? Cheers again for the responses.

Ok Cheers guys.... Thanks for the response.

If pnly i was in Brisbane - Would love to do a deal with ya but live in Perth so it somehow wont happen... Free bump and good luck with it...

Hey all. Hope your having a good weekend. Just wanted to know where (if) anyone has/can/knows where to get those black rubber plug type things to fill in holes left by removing the rear spoiler??? Wanna see if i like my gtr better without the rear wing, but dont wanna leave open holes there. Have seen them a lot on Silvia's and 200 Sx's. Also live near the joondalup area so anywhere local to that would be even better... If you have bought some, how much do they normally cost??? Cheers, any help would be great.

Tech 9 tyres advertise free guard rolling for any 20 inch packages or bigger so surely they would also do guard rolling for smaller wheels. Think they are in Willetton or Maddington or something SOR.

Yeh, real nice place... been there sampling the beer for the past 4 sundays now... can say i think its gonna be buzzin in summer. Like a mini cott for the ones that find cottosloe too far on a sunday for a drink. Could end a cruise there for a beer, and go home from there...

For the up north forumers, rob21275 could be onto something here... Could start at city beach and come back north, or go from north, mindarie maybe to scarborough way for a bite and see what others are out... Usually a few nice v8's hanging around scarborough on a sunday too. Id be up for a drive, and to meet some others.

Hey... Iv pm'd you to see if you have recieved my payment yet, and i havent heard back from you... I also havent recieved anything if you have already sent it... Cheers.

Good write up Christian. Im just waiting for some short shifters to come through to buy one for the R32 GTR. Just a quick question, When i was installing my new gear knob boot, i undone the screws over the gear shifter to see what it looked like on the inside compared to the pics attached (being an R33). I removed the large rubber housing and took it off. There was grease everywhere as there were some splits in the furthest rubber housing (covering the actual internals, closest to the gearbox). Is this going to be a problem in future?? If it is, i would replace it when i fit the short shifter... Should this be fixed urgently or is it not going to cause any troubles... If i did need to replace it, where would i get one??? Thanks guys.

Would def be keen to look at it for a 32... Not sure what u would have to look at with the twin turbo setup with the GTR's tho... Let us know how you go...' Cheers

When i first test drove my car it was one of the best experiences ever. Didnt help that i was still pissed from the night before..... I had a heavy friday night on the vodka, and test drove the car saturday. I drove it home with my old man and the dealer to see if it would fit in the garage (needless to say i drove like a grandma), the dealer was prob only about 15 mins away from home anyway. Once we took it home and saw that the garage was big enough, i took the car around the block on my own, and (with that aftermorning vodka stench filling the car) booted it down the road, redline in 1st and 2nd, eased off in 3rd. It wanted to make me yelp with delight. Anyways, i took it back to the dealer, said i wanted it, but had to tell him to hold it for me for 2 weeks while i got my money together... It was the longest 2 weeks of my life... I love the car now as much as i did then, but im used to the power and i want to do mods... What a car tho...

Ok, thanks for your replies. I guess the question im trying to ask, is the RHK cooler gonna be better than the standard GTR front mount that has about 74000 Kms on it...??? Will there be a significant pressure drop??? Cheers.

Just jap ones are 600 x 300 x 76 for the same price. The 100mm thick coolers are $100 more... Is it going to be worth paying the extra hundred for the just jap unit or is it worth goin for a trust cooler or something with a bit more of a name and rep??? Thanks for all the feedback anyway guys... I just noticed that a 33gtst with a Rb26 conversion done by xspeed in Perth had one of these intercoolers and he was pushin 450 rwhp... Cheers

Hi all. Spoken to a Chinese chap this morning that deals wholesale in performance parts (not japanese brands). He has a few intercoolers there made by RHK measuring 600 x 300 x 100mm. They look ok and seem to be of an acceptable quality for the price. He only normally sells them wholesale to workshops but said i can buy one for $200 cash. Just wondering if anyone (or anyones mates) has previously used one or has had any experiences with them before. If they are no good then obviously id look at a name branded intercooler but for that price i thought id ask the question....??? Can anyone post anything about them...?? Cheers.

Got any updated pics Ronin. Real keen to see the finished product fitted up to the car... Cheers.

Hi all. Just wanting to know what AFM's i have. Iv tried the search but cant seem to come up with the part number im after. Jecs AFM's with part number - 22680 05U00 / A36 000 J70. It doesnt appear to be the same part numbers to a Z32 AFM. Is it the stock AFM on an RB26. Also have a Jecs part that has been pictured in the relocation of oil filter thread but has a different part number being - A15 000 J13 - Silver box (he called it a muesli bar looking thing), Could it be the boost control solenoid as the wires link to my HKS EVC. Also, off the topic, does anyone know about V-is suspension or shockies (red Shock absorber with V-is label), cant find anything on the net. Any help would be good. Iv had the car for over a year but just started getting into the self modifying thing. Cheers in advance.

I wouldnt mind one if your still making??? Please pm me a pic and details. Thanks

Hey all... Iv been reading the forum for a few months now, only just registered. Iv read a few threads that seem to be similar, but just wondering if anyone can share any advice. Im the proud owner of a clean R32 GTR, and it provides much fun and pleasure. I had a problem with it about a month ago, and only knowing what i know about engines & cars through the magazines and forums i read, so dont be too harsh (im hardly a DIY mechanic). The problem i had, was that i would accellerate but the car would jerk and not go anywhere. The revs would also not go up so i realised it wasnt a driveline problem, but something to do with my fuel pump / lines or intake / ignition & spark. I took it to my mechanic (normal ultratune who it is generally serviced by) and he refered me to a EFI specialist. He told me that i had faulty O2 sensors in my dumps, and that he would replace them as the factory ECU was getting different airflow readings from the AMF's and O2 sensors which was causing the engine to cut the fuel or inject too much (rich and lean etc) which was causing it to hesitate and not accellerate. Cut a long story short, the EFI specialist charged me nearly $500 for fixing and testing the O2 sensors and to make sure that the engine was running ok. For the first week the car was good as new, but recently it has started again. I was going to ring him and let him know that he hasnt done the job properly, or is it something else, like coil pack or sparks / fuel pump / faulty or dirty AFM's etc that could be faulty instead of what he has replaced???. Any feedback would be great, as if im gonna ring him to give him a serve, i wanna be right or at least have some ammo to go with. Again, im a newbie so be easy.... Has the specialist pulled a fast one and ripped me off???? Cheerz!!!
