Also keen to know how these will fit nicely in my 4dr I know it can be done. -
Fuel Pump On Its Way Out?
-Jimmy- replied to JoelyMoley's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
There's a possibility it's the air flow meter too, mine was stalling and cutting out and a new (good conditon but second hand) AFM fixed it. -
Have you got coilovers? Is the ride height different each side slightly? (front or rear) Have the guards been modified at all? (maybe one has been 'rolled' and the other hasn't?)

Newcastle And Central Coast Skyline Spotted Thread

Spotted ANOTHER silver 4dr R34 in Cardiff this evening, looked like a GT-t, fairly stock. Pulled into the BP servo. -
Avs Model 5's Multi Stud 17"
-Jimmy- replied to R32Dreamer's topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)
Not trying to be picky or anything, just clarifying that the rims you have for sale are in fact not Advan AVS Model 5, but rather the Advan AVS VS-5. These are the Model 5's Free bump -
Non-turbo R32's, Any Good As A First Car?
-Jimmy- replied to Rallye's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
If I was to buy them they wouldn't be colour matched haha. I'd leave them in whatever colour I get them in. But was just hypothetically speaking, as most people want a matching coloured car. Anyways, that's not really what this topic is about lol. -
Non-turbo R32's, Any Good As A First Car?
-Jimmy- replied to Rallye's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Thanks Rallye ^_^ I'm sure everyone would agree that a GTR front end (minus guards) would look better, but work out the average prices of those items (bonnet, grille, front bar, front bar reo) and then factor in the likelyhood of finding all of those items in good condition, along with paint and you find yourself quite financially unstable I have been trying to source some of those items over the past few months, wont be getting everything at once but I definitely want these items one day too -

Each to their own I guess I love the simplistic and raw feel about the R32. This is my R32s Interior. -
Help Me Find Cross Factory Kit I Aus.
-Jimmy- replied to michaeljohn23's topic in Exterior & Interior Styling
I think the website you provided is the only place you're gonna be able to find the Cross Factory parts mate. I want the rear skirts for my R32 4dr and can find them no where! Very rare parts. -
Ah thanks for that! I knew those skirts looked a bit too common to just be N1 skirts alone.
-
You're right about the grey one having standard skirts. They are 2pc. Standard GT-R And the ones on the blue car look aftermarket to me. I was fairly certain these were the N1 skirts if anything (see how it lips down at the back of the skirt) N1 Skirts The blue ones you pictured look like TRUST Aero parts. TRUST Skirts http://www.trust-power.com/08aerostyle/bnr32.html Here's a set on Yahoo Japanese Auctions. http://page12.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p170077633 Here's the pods that should go with the skirts made by TRUST in the Gracer aero parts range. http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r63401105 However there is a sideskirt which is made that is kind of in between the two that I pictured made by Bodyform and they call it the 'N1 style sideskirt'. The genuine N1 skirts look 3pc to me, where-as the Bodyform one looks 1pc. If you want these particular skirts then you are in luck because looks like they're in Australia. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a genuine set of the N1 parts, or even the genuine TRUST items here in Australia. http://www.bodyformaero.com.au/catalog/pro...u1isigagbrraln4 Bodyform Skirts

How are the N1 skirts different to just the usual R32 GT-R ones? Or are they the only factory option skirts that came on R32 GT-R's?

Non-turbo R32's, Any Good As A First Car?
-Jimmy- replied to Rallye's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
I paid $9,000 for it, which for some people might sound a little steep but that was 3.5 years ago and it was well worth it in the end. I love my car. Interior was mint (still is), it had an RB20E from factory so an RB25DE and manual conversion was put in by the previous owner, it had Cusco strut brace, 5 stud conversion, LSD and I could see a lot more potential in the car. Nice buy on yours Tim -
You think you have any say in here? These are good quality, good size/offset and look good in some people's opinion so keep your useless comments to yourself.

Non-turbo R32's, Any Good As A First Car?
-Jimmy- replied to Rallye's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
I can vouch for NA R32 being a great first car. They are very easy to learn to drive. Mine has the RB25DE. In regards to insurance, I guess it depends on who you decide to go with, in comparison to other cars its not that much different. My brother's R31 Australian delivered Skyline cost the same as my imported R32. Reliability wise mechanically, I've replaced the AFM which was no biggie, and I think the coil packs have just started to die now. If you service it regularly and take care of it, it will be fine. Fuel, well the last tank I got lasted me 450ish until the fuel light came on. Cops - don't act like a dick and you won't get pulled over, I haven't in the 3.5years I've owned mine. -
How Can You Tell If Your Guards Have Already Been Rolled?
-Jimmy- replied to KezR33's topic in Exterior & Interior Styling
You can tell just by looking. I don't know an easy way to explain this so I have a couple of pictures, I hope you get the idea. Before - The lip usually sits parallel to the tyre. After - The lip is now 'rolled' or bent upward. -
Location? Condition? Pics?
-
Are you sure about that? Because my friend here is running 18x9.5 +18 (7mm more than the above posted specs) with a 245/40R18 tyre. It needed a minor roll. And here I am running 17x9 +13 (6mm more than the above posted specs) with a 215/45R17 tyre. Also needed to be rolled. Neither of these examples are 'sunken'. With a 265 he will be running a nice enough stance

Nardi make a nice 330mm wheel. I use one in my R32 (but it's not a GT-R). It does make the turning a little harder (I have used a 365mm Nismo) but you get used to that. They make these in Black with red stitching also, and in a dished (deep corn) variant too however the 330mm of these aren't as attractive as the 350mm deep corn.
