Legend, happy days. Already on my way to chuck it in the pile of crap I’ve taken off so far. Negative. The only thing holding the rear solenoid and two hardline pipes on was a couple of bolts holding the solenoid to the chassis and the brackets that ran up with the fuel inlet/outlet/breather hoses and rear brake line. No flexible hoses attached to the solenoid at all, it has literally been doing nothing as far as I could see, was just worried the car would still need to have the circuit connected.

Gday guys, I’ve posted this in other places online but no one has given me an answer to this question **(edit- also did a search regarding HICAS delete/HICAS solenoid here on SAU too and couldn’t find anything after a good look so apologies in adavance if it’s asked a million times and I missed it)**, is the HICAS solenoid required on a 32GTR after HICAS itself is deleted? Just wanting to know since I’m in the middle of an underbody and subframe refresh. The car already had a HICAS delete before I bought it and the two hardlines that go from the solenoid to the engine bay/power steering system were already completely disconnected and just sitting there open to the elements and unattached to anything, it’s just that the solenoid itself still had the brown electrical connector attached to it at the rear end of the car. Happy to tuck it away in the back of the shed with everything else not needed that I’ve pulled off the car but if it’s still needed to be electrically connected to make a circuit to do something in the car I guess I’ll have to bolt it back in. The car will be running a full aftermarket ECU and dash set up if that’ll help me to understand if it can come out so it could possibly be tuned around or have no warning lights on the dash. cheers guys, have a good one!

Looks good. The old girl has come a long way from when you first picked her up.

Thanks for the reply Burnie, although it’s all a little over my head. I should’ve paid a bit more attention during maths half a lifetime ago in school, hey? I think I’ll just have to risk it. If push comes to shove there’ll probably be either some below cost brand new valves, pistons or Vcam setup depending on what works and doesn’t work.

Gday guys! Just a quick one, hoping to get some confirmation and information from a builder or someone much more smarter than I with regards to a build I’m doing with possibly the above mentioned parts in my RB26. I already have in relation to the build the stroker kit (Tomei RB28) that I got for a steal as well as the full Ferrea valve train setup with the +1mm OS valves. I’ve now been given the opportunity to buy a HKS Vcam Step 2 system for again a very good price and I’m incredibly keen. Before I go ahead and drop the money I’d just like to know if there are any conflicting issues with any of the above gear when it comes time to getting the engine actually built? I know the Step 2 Vcam requires pistons with the valve recesses, but is there any issue mating both the Vcam system and the Tomei pistons with the valve recesses all together with the oversized Ferrea valves? If anyone could give me a straight answer on this or point me in the right direction I’d truly appreciate it. I’ve done a boatload of reading but haven’t come up with a conclusive answer as of yet unfortunately. Cheers, have a rad day!

Gday guys, few bits and pieces up for sale all to suit R32 GTR or GTR’s in general. 1- ID1050X injectors, brand new in box. $900ono 2- Tomei valve springs and retainers, brand new in box $750 3- A pair of Garrett GT2860 (-7’s), brand new in box. $2000 4- Nismo intercooler piping to suit R32 GTR, brand new in box. $900 All items located Brissie, happy to deliver if local and post if outside the area, and of course all prices are negotiable. Cheers!

Gday guys, I know it's a long shot judging by how hard it's been to try to find a pair so far but I'm chasing the rear speaker grills for my 32GTR. If anyone has a pair sitting around gathering dust somewhere I'm more than happy to pay for them plus postage to Brissie. Thanks!

Buuuummmmp

Hey Raffy, yeah I got your message, it's just still a bit too difficult for my liking sorry. Time is a big thing with me, as I work atleast 5 days a week, and generally do cashies with mechanical repairs on cars or electrical work on homes for many of the blokes here on base on that spare day. Plus I think I have -(negative)0.934 days leave or something up my sleeve, so I can't even get any time off till Christmas, where in I have to go back home (Queensland), so I just can't find it feasible to work around those constraints sorry. For everyone else though..... But, in breaking news, BUMP

Just came back to HMAS Where-hope-goes-to-die-a-slow-and-painful-death, so I thought bump it all the way back up again.

Swoopdown - Kinda the same when it comes to high end cars, I guess it's just bragging rights at the end of the day. But unlike cars, when it comes to supersports (even in standard trim), it all comes down to the skill of the rider, very rarely the bike itself. I still am quite baffled why they even make bikes like these, I know for a fact I could lose my license for a long time just giving her a go in first gear alone, let alone the top speed I have reached on her. EAT26 - Love the GTR, mate. Absolutely love it, everything that I would be looking for in a GTR. But the problem is the distance between us still, and I would be afraid to ask how much cash you would want thrown your way. I have a budget of $12000 - $15000 on top of the bikes value, and I get the general feeling I would be a little short on what you want. Why is it everyone that has actually sent me an offer with something I want lives in the state where I used to live only a year ago. The military really does suck sometimes... RAFFY - Nice example of a 33 GTST mate. Looks clean for what you have done to it. I have owned 9 bikes in my life so far, and this has been one of the most reliable, balls-to-the-wall bikes I have ever owned. Gets a lot of attention from everyone on base here and cruising around, yet I have only ever been pulled up once for a RBT. Definately beats the SWAT teams I had to dodge everytime I took my old Skyline out for a spin.

Up.

geraus, nice cars bro. I had a S1 R33 GTs-T pretty much the same as the silver one, except black with a plazaman intake, kazaa 2 way diff and a GT-35r, and yours kinda reminds me off my old one. Except I think I'd have a lot less trouble getting a RWC with mine . I don't know if the R1 is what you would be looking for at the end of the day though man. Compared to a 250 Ninja, it would be like upgrading your Skyline to a McLaren F1, and please don't think thats an overstatement. It is a stupid, scary bike, that shouldn't have been made, let alone doing the little things I have done to make it even faster.
