  1. In my 32 gtr the dash area makes a click sound, similar to the indicator noise when you drive over maybe around 105km/h is there a way to get rid of this, its really annoying
  2. i couldnt imagine a stock car like mine having an engine go bang without any mods sure general maintenance will be required but after all, it is an old car then again you would expect a rb26 to be a tough motor hence maybe i will take out the boost restrictor but i should probs do an exhaust for this
  3. im after some N1 turbos for my 32 gtr if anyone knows of any
  4. was thinking about doing the exhaust and restrictor but i dont want to run the engine on that extra power incase the turbo's explode and end up in my engine, resulting in a rebuild i really want to avoid a rebuild at all costs...
  5. After buying my GTR, ive been wondering about the legitimacy of the kilometers on the ODO. Last night, a friend of mine said that in Japan they export and sell cars at a certain age to comply with their ever growing pollution and emissions laws, hence the 80,000 k's on a 1990 GTR may in fact be legit. Hence i looked this up: " Japan Background In 1992, to cope with NOx pollution problems from existing vehicle fleets in highly populated metropolitan areas, the Ministry of the Environment adopted the “Law Concerning Special Measures to Reduce the Total Amount of Nitrogen Oxides Emitted from Motor Vehicles in Specified Areas”, called in short The Motor Vehicle NOx Law. The regulation designated a total of 196 communities in the Tokyo, Saitama, Kanagawa, Osaka and Hyogo Prefectures as areas with significant air pollution due to nitrogen oxides emitted from motor vehicles. Under the Law, several measures had to be taken to control NOx from in-use vehicles, including enforcing emission standards for specified vehicle categories. The regulation was amended in June 2001 to tighten the existing NOx requirements and to add PM control provisions. The amended rule is called the “Law Concerning Special Measures to Reduce the Total Amount of Nitrogen Oxides and Particulate Matter Emitted from Motor Vehicles in Specified Areas”, or in short the Automotive NOx and PM Law. The amended regulation became effective starting in October 2002. Emission Standards The NOx and PM Law introduces emission standards for specified categories of in-use highway vehicles including commercial goods (cargo) vehicles such as trucks and vans, buses, and special purpose motor vehicles, irrespective of the fuel type. The regulation also applies to diesel powered passenger cars (but not to gasoline cars). In-use vehicles in the specified categories must meet 1997/98 emission standards for the respective new vehicle type (in the case of heavy duty engines NOx = 4.5 g/kWh, PM = 0.25 g/kWh). In other words, the 1997/98 new vehicle standards are retroactively applied to older vehicles already on the road. Vehicle owners have two methods to comply: 1. Replace old vehicles with newer, cleaner models 2. Retrofit old vehicles with approved NOx and PM control devices Vehicles have a grace period, between 9 and 12 years from the initial registration, to comply. The grace period depends on the vehicle type, as follows: * Light commercial vehicles (GVW ≤ 2500 kg): 8 years * Heavy commercial vehicles (GVW > 2500 kg): 9 years * Micro buses (11-29 seats): 10 years * Large buses (≥ 30 seats): 12 years * Special vehicles (based on a cargo truck or bus): 10 years" So if you could be bothered reading it I think the general gist is that the car may have been sitting in an Export yard/container, untill it was sold, or whatever So the km's may in fact be real * Diesel passenger cars: 9 years Furthermore, the regulation allows to postpone its requirements by an additional 0.5-2.5 years, depending on the age of the vehicle. This delay was introduced in part to harmonize the NOx and PM Law with the Tokyo diesel retrofit program. The NOx and PM Law is enforced in connection with Japanese vehicle inspection program, where non-complying vehicles cannot undergo the inspection in the designated areas. This, in turn, may trigger an injunction on the vehicle operation under the Road Transport Vehicle Law. ANY THOUGHTS???
  6. yeah the k'ms thing is strange you would assume they would be wound back but you would never really know i guess i spose you could tell from general wear on the interior etc, but even so, steering wheels, gearnobs and stuff can be changed
  7. yeah for sure must just be one of those things tho, if its the car you want its the price you pay same with the k's far from genuine!!
  8. tis a good point but from what i know, and my mechanic thinks its untouched in his opinion (RE customs)
  9. ALSO did a compression test/ underbody check and all that before i bought it compression test: Cyl 1 - 130psi Cyl 2 - 130psi Cyl 3 - 130psi Cyl 4 - 130psi Cyl 5 - 125psi Cyl 6 - 125psi does this seem about right
  10. is there any real reason to believe that a stock standard gtr, with maybe pods only will not run for ages without having major engine issues
  11. Picking up my 32 GTR tomorrow This car is basically immaculate, and stock, with the one non standard thing being tein suspension. Stock exhaust, everything. I was planning to keep the car stock as a collectors car, but now im thinking that it would be a better collector car if it was AUS deliver, however this is an import. So my question is: What mods would anyone out there with a 32 gtr do I'm concerned about the k's being wound back (76,000km *go figure ) Hence i dont want to run the car into a rebuild, i was thinking maybe just a custom exhaust system and pod filters, thats it. So do you think my turbo blades are going to end up in my engine whats your thoughts Stock, or not stock?? that is the question
  12. yeah i was planning on joining once i get my car..tomorrow how long does it take, can i go some where and pick up the membership or does it have to be done in the mail

  15. anyone know the best alarm i should get for my new 32 gtr i was thinking viper?? i hear that you should take it to a place that installs in a hard to find location, that way thieves cant just rip the alarm out and i DONT want one with 500 features, or anything thats going to be annoying, like alarms that make all sorts of noises and have cameras etc just want it to get the job done well, unstealable and reliable im in VICTORIA
