  1. Me too- to steal a quote from Initial D 4th season; those other guys can have their Ferrari's, Porsche's & GTR's but for me its R32Gtst 4 LIFE
  2. I have lightened the stereo setup in the boot & concerntrated the weight more toward the axle. yet to finish it off. New Wolf V4 to go in. Lightweight Flywheel & pretty blue pressure plate all thanks to ERD & NPC Clutches 300km/h speedo to go in next week
  3. Nice car mate, can see why you want to go the way you are & keep her safe & strong
  4. Thanks mate-will keep you all posted with upcoming results
  5. If you pull the intake pipe off & check the wheel for side play then probably not much longer, Shaft play + 100,000rpm doesnt do good things to turbines, if there is no shaft play then the bearings are ok but still is a 20yr old turbo & things dont last forever-especially when boost gets wound up. I replaced mine with a new steel wheel version cause I was paranoid it could let go with the new demands I am placing on the car-track work/skids/drags & a lot more boost. I thought better safe than sorry
  6. There's a great post in tech section on how to do it without dash removal
  7. here's mine- all I got to do is put forged gear into motor when/if she finally goes bang-which shouldnt happen cause we are running safe tune AFR's at 287rwhp http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/To...st-t327323.html
  8. Fix that clutch 1st Bunts
  9. We have set the car up with Squat in the rear cradle,heights are; 350mm ctr to guard F, 340mm ctr guard R-(Bilstein Circlips). The car feels pretty neutral now-rear sway is softest setting, front is Middle setting, I get a bit of understeer now in corners but when it does slide I have the traction to drive out of a slide at full pedal rather than feathering the gas to control the slide to straighten the car. We have experimented on differing heights- differing spring rates & have ironically settled on Sydneykids Track setting for an R32-man that guy knows his stuff The car is fastest with how it is set-up now, Track lessons with Dougie- even he remarked at how well set-up it was & liked the balance of the car. After the first 3 laps he let go of the wheel & just pointed to where he wanted me to go, It-the track was soaked, puddles everywhere & especially on the racing line & I was literally sh*tting myself at times we were going so quick. When the car slid I caught it very easily, once when we went fully sideways due to hitting a puddle-it was so easy to pull back it surprised him. It performed exceptionally well at the skidpan. Its cornering speed was alot higher than the other cars there & changed direction easily maintaining good angle/speed & the ability to maintain 2nd gear-never able to do that before-always had to grab 1st on tighter cnrs in the more technical tracks we set up. Overall I am happy & wont be changing anything in the handling dept. I chose larger type swaybars to keep the body roll controllable, maybe a lil large for the street but once I got used to them I prefer a race orientated swaybar than a streeter for the street anyhow. To each their own tho. 7 other people drove this car at skids & all luved it-actually being able to control it after 2-3 laps-its a great car club we are in-we key swapped all day-I got to drive GTR's, R33's, an RB25 R32 & they were no issue for me either-my little R32 has trained me well- I even taught our 3 ladies how to control skids in their cars too- I'm finally getting there
  10. Sorry to hear that mate- would have been great t meet yah
  11. Look-see my ass Col- U wanna run dont yah-c'mon guy lol
  12. Cheers- gives me an idea of how she should go-Rb20's represent
  13. +1, fuel hose to underside where the steel pipework is to the boot. No harm asking-its where we all started & plenty of guys/gals on here helped me understand-coming from ol ford guy to Nissans & I wont be going back Just make sure it is actually fuel line- or if you are playing around near fuel pump the stuff in the tank it has to be fuel immersible & safe
  14. Common with Stainless pipes I do believe-shouldnt be too much of an issue with Mild steel systems due to Mild steel having less expansion than Stainles-once again maybe wrong here too but its what I heard my exhaust guys say
  15. I have my dump pipe wrapped & it made a hell of a difference to the temps under my bonnet, time for me to get 1 of these beanies too I think. I understand its best to keep the exhaust temps as high as possible to help flow all the way thru to the muffler. May be wrong there tho as I aint an engineer or well educated on flow dynamics
  16. Man that engine bay is awesome-nice work mate. Big thanks to all the guys who posted in here-helped me out heaps
  17. Am keen to read the replies from this too
  18. Dont know whether this would work but what about putting a pressure relief valve in sump that circles back to a sep catch can-just a thought
  19. Not long to go now, have got a lot of new mods on the car & am keen as mustard to see what result they give; Disco potato, 660cc inj, Nistune, Lightweight flywheel, Hd Clutch, new suspension geometry & a lightened stereo setup in the boot. Ran 14.4@97mph with 200rwhp-now got 300rwhp so am hoping for 13's
  20. Am there Paul- cant wait
  21. 6:38 Audi R8 FTMFW
  22. yep guards rolled out, cheers mate-think I have found just what I am after
  23. Got 17x8+32 on front-sits good, 17x9 +36 on arse & rim sticks out by 3-4mm-Drifteks cause I think they suit the shape of the body best-my view only(based off picks of LMGT4's anyhow), want a lightweight wheel now-am starting to track it
