Matty Sherlock

I know im not the first bloke to run into trouble with an rb26 but I would like to make it known to everyone the lengths Matty T and Luke Terbeeke were prepared to go to for me today. In such a time of desperation, its overwhelming to know people would not bat an eyelid to help another person. Mr T has proven this on more than one occasion (ala krishy) Also thanks to pistol for making the day somewhat enjoyable, plenty of laughs and definitely someone you want to be stranded with if you had a choice...

Thanks brez. Means alot to me man

For sale : my body Price : make an offer Reason for sale : need to fund rebuild group discounts welcome

Might be there even though im gtr-less

Aah well on the lighter side me and pistol pete are stuck in Port pirie meant to be coming back from work, but its a bit of a walk back to adelaide.... Blown a piston in the 32..

Fuse panel?

I had the pleasure of watching the motor being run in with the car on a chassis dyno. This motor is going to be very strong.. Here's a cool pic, a bit of heat being generated i'd say. my iPhone captured the image in infared for some reason..

Spotted a Very nice bnr32 vspec parked up on my way home from the shops.

For Sale R32 GTR Front Grille in silver. perfect condition ( also have brand new clips for it) $150 SRI Hicas Lock Bar will fit r32 or s13 with bypass hose kit (Brand New, still in wrapping) $100 Set of HKS style split dump pipes to suit rb26. $100 PM, call/text 0457408477 can send pics if required

Suss the tutorials man it can be done with the right tools and patience. Ive heard getting a cheap spanner set and heating them up to bend them to accomodate the engine bay crampage is a useful excercise.

Panzer and I will attend. Also seanr33 is keen to come and meet some people.

That's just how a bnr32 should - 100mph standing still

Havent boosted it hard today, not much point in the warmer weather. But I did make the 10 or so km journey home without a hiccup. I guess the lesson learned here is "titanium exhuasts mandatory for gtr's" haha

That's some awesome feedback, Carbon 34! Thanks exactly what this thread needs. However, I bit the bullet and drove the car down to Exhaust Tech (sounding like Willall RH9 mind you) and it turned out to be a very painless fix! Due to the aftermarket exhaust being on the car when I purchased it, the exact specs were unknown to me. Up on the hoist, it was confirmed be a titanium item. The adaptor flange being mild steel, is simply bolted to the cat and the exhaust slides over it and is held with springs to accomodate for a bit of flex. The brackets that attach to the rubber mounts did bend a little in the impact, but this was fixed quite easily and it appears there are no leaks. $100 fix and i'm very happy. Of course I assumed the worse in the dark last night :S I will definitely be inspecting the manifolds though, that is always a worry! Thanks for your help everyone, some very valid points put out!

Thanks steve. I suspected the hose you have circled is the air con overflow, it is the object (best name for it atm haha) starting in the bottom left of the pic that concerns me. I don't know what i'm looking at so I could be wrong to say there is a leak. Whatever that part is. it looks broken to me

Okay so people might think this topic is a bad idea, but I think if it has some rules and people follow them it could prove very helpful to everyone.. We have all came across sudden issues, both big or small, with our cars. Sometimes you can fix them yourself in a matter of minutes, sometimes you spend thousands of dollars and die a little inside.. Realistically, we all rely on someone else's experience/knowledge/tools, etc. when something is out of our hands in terms of capability to fix these problems. If you are stuck in this situation and you are desperately seeking help with information or advice, or even just need someone to help you carry out high priority repairs to your vehicle, post up as much detailed information and pics of your problem in this topic and surely someone from the SAU:SA community can assist you in some way/shape/form. As for the do's and don'ts of this topic. Use the search function.. it is highly probable that someone else has come into a similar situation to yours and evidently, SAU is arguably the best source of info regarding Skylines on the internet Do another search on any search engine e.g Google, Yahoo, Car-Touble Still nothing? Do not post up a problem unless it is of great concern to you and immediate repair is required! (Not "Oh can someone help me change my oil filter, I don't know how to and my service is due in 500 kays") Give as much information and pics as you can, so that others can quickly help you Seek professional advice and weigh up your options regarding time/money etc. If you can help someone, contact them VIA PM or personally where possible Avoid lengthy discussion about silly things that we can read about in other topics Keep the smart comments/remarks for youtube or facebook. Hopefully this will become a useful tool to quickly overcome the inevitable issues we all come across from time to time, and maybe learn a thing or to. Having said that, if you find yourself tackling a bastard of a job, it can't hurt to make a tutorial for the task and post that up in the DIY Section, thus keeping the thread clean and allowing others to gain understanding in the future when they have the same problem. I will personally start off by seeking help regarding my 1993 R32 GT-R. Earlier tonight, I was reversing partially into a driveway of an unfimiliar street to perform a three point turn. I thought I was lined up for the centre of the entrance but it was made clear that I wasn't when there was a thud and a scrape so I immidiately stopped the car. I had made contact with the undercarriage of the car and the concrete kerb which did not stand high, but the camber of the road made it very unforgiving. I knew any damage was already done, so I moved forward and immediately noticed a change in the exhaust note. I immediately assumed the worst and upon visual inspection the whole exhaust system from the cat-back has been pushed forward. As you can see in the pics the exhaust is no longer attached to the cat but looks to me like it could be slotted back in and welded (?) Luckily I wasn't far from home and drive roughly 2 kilometres to further inspect the damage. While driving, it was clearly obvious that both performance and sound were impacted. As concerned as I was at this point, I kind of enjoyed the 'straight through' sound the car was emitting. Upon arrival home, I immediately observed a minor water leak which I am presuming is coming from the turbo hard water line. I am replacing my turbos very soon but my concern is fixing this first so I can actually drive the car, is this possible without extensive removal of other components? Especially considering the future turbo swap.. Alternatively, can anyone tell from the pic which line is the problem (if it isn't the hard water line)?? I have full sets of braided lines for both oil and water ready to go as part of the turbo swap.. I know a few decent welders but is there any things that need to be considered before welding the catback back into position? Here are some pics: due to it being dark and my car being low it's the best I could do atm. 1. The catback and what looks like some sort of adaptor still attached to the cat, is this a simple re-align and tig-weld affair? 2. Photo taken from where the water was dripping onto the ground, so I could envisage the broken component. I am led to believe the water leak is coming from the left line, which looks to me like it is broken and pushed up. Can anyone confirm what components we are looking at here and if anything doesn't look right? I don't have the means to get the car to a repairer until later this week and would like to try and fix it myself/with help if possible.. can anyone elaborate on all this mumbo jumbo? haha

On the 6th. Approximately 7:30 - 8 pm

I saw this alleged green vr-vs on west street twice in about half an hour.

Ebay man. Or just jap

I think i saw this car drive past me twice two days ago, my car was in sight though

Yeah talk about bad fitment. Oh no were talking about wheels again!!

What about blow up dolls? They never talk and always look surprised at the size of your junk

Is there still a seat for me dion?

Just saw a plea for help on gumtree a grey 1993 32 GTR has been stolen today in the brompton area, the car in the picture shown is silver though, rego is WWD 016. Nothing said on here so maybe not a members car, but no reason not to report anything we see. Tuck your vehicles away safely guys/gals and keep the pitchforks handy.

As long as its not a genuine m3, has altezza tail lights but no engine mods and 3 tv's per vehicle occupant, those rims are acceptable..
