Driving my car I've started to notice a noise in the left front of the car at low speeds, it's kind of a cross between a creaking and a tapping noise, and happens most when turning at low speeds or going over a speed hump. I've had a look at the car quickly and everything appears to be done up tightly as usual, the car still feels solid when I give it a boot, but the noise is driving me crazy. Has anyone had something like this, or know what it might be? Cheers.

Hey Guys. I created an old thread before when i was interested in seeing what people thought of my R32 GTS-T (Located here: http://www.skylinesa...s-my-r32-worth/ ) Well I have just bought a new car (An R33 actually) and have recently put my car on carsales (Located here: http://www.carsales....e-1993-12660642). My carsales images are very similar to the previous images on my old thread as I have done only simple modifications recently. I thought I would make a new post to create interest in the car again,and hopefully one of you guys might be interested in my R32 (or know someone who might be). Overall, my original post explained in great detail about my car but I have modified some things since that was written so I have created an update below which contains a brief summary of my car: Summary info Nissan Skyline R32 5 speed Manual Gun Metal Gray Turbo 2 door Coupe 136,000km Engine 1 Months rego Exterior: Overall I wanted the car to look stock, but also improve the look of it, as having orange indicators and such looked really dated. It’s a subtle adjustment but I think it balances the look of stock pretty well 60th Anniversary GTS-T Type M Body kit (Front Bar + Chrome Lip, Side Skirts, Rear Pods) Replaced indicators on the front 1/4 panels (side indicators) and the front indicators (next to the headlights) They both have clear plastic now Complete left hand side re-spray, from front 1/4 to rear 1/4 (some dickhead keyed down the side of it, thankfully though that side was the older looking side lol) Added a set of R33 wheels in great condition (plenty of rubber still). However car will also come with R32 standard wheels Added rear chrome 'Nissan' and 'GTS-T' badges Added Side and front GTS-T Red badges (replaced old ones) Interior: Overall interior is one of the cars best features, I have gone out of my way to ensure that the car looks as stock as possible but also improving on some standard elements. I don’t think I have seen a GTS-T in as great a condition as mine. 60th Anniversary GTS-T Type M Interior, Gray Velour front / rear seats and door inserts Immaculate condition interior, every panel has been replaced with ones that are perfect (i.e. door trims have no cuts / knocks and the material is glued in firm) The only exception is the passenger rear interior 1/4 panel which has a 3cm bubble forming New Standard Instruments - Gear knob, Steering Wheel, Handbrake, All are in amazing condition with the wheel only having 3 tiny scratches on it, and the handbrake one small scratch) Dash Cluster Surround (That holds Emergency, Fog Lights, and Radio etc) is brand new, with every button on it in perfect shape, also brand new indicator controls. Every instrument has its original white lettering still intact Stock R32 floor mats Standard perfect dash, no bubbles like other R32's, no silly shit like holes cut into it to mount instruments etc. New aircon vents (strong and sturdy and all intact) All miscellaneous plastics have been added (small stuff like covers for the seatbelt bolts that go into the side of the car, and small plastic covers for the back of the seats) Back seats are flawless, same as passenger seat, the driver’s seat material is fine, no tears, but I can feel the padding inside getting old Replaced Handbrake, Gear knob & Arm Rest covers with black leather. All pieces are custom made and fit 100% (the gear knob leather fits directly into the original surround and sits flush against the stick) Replaced all lights with LEDs (Interior dome light, twin small reading lights at the front, glove box light, All rear lights including brakes, reversing lights, front headlights, front fog lights, Dash Cluster, Aircon Unit, Dash Surround, ashtray etc) Mechanicals: Overall, I didn't care much about power, I wanted it reliable and as near stock as possible. As such there have only been a few modification using aftermarket parts, however I have replaced a good amount of the standard parts during my servicing Replaced standard suspension with APEXI fully adjustable Coilovers Added Front Strut brace (Removed in images) replaced after-market pod filter with the standard air-box (Removed in images) Big service recently. Replaced Fan belt, Aircon belt, all spark plugs, all fluids flushed or replenished (radiator fluid, engine oil), topped up manual gearbox etc Replaced Individual Coil packs (6), replaced Igniter, Replaced Air Flow meter, Replaced Coil Pack Wiring Loom Replaced front rotors The car has an entire GTR backend (As such the previous owner added it, and it actually runs on GTR suspension not GTS-T. it has upgraded rotors for the rear) Stock Turbo, Intercooler and piping Gearbox and Engine overall are great. I have no issues using it as a daily drive, but I don’t thrash my cars so I have no clue how great it will go on power tuning (however I did get it on the Dyno when I tuned the car) Things I don’t like Overall there is very little I don’t like about the car, but I am just exhausted from changing all of the small things. I have spent easily over 8k on parts, mechanical servicing and upgrades. I have a massive collection of receipts that I will be happy to pass along to the next person who buys it for their records. I am too much of a perfectionist and it will take even more of my life and money to get it into showroom condition, and with my new car I just have lost interest. It’s easier to do up an R33 than an R32 in regards to parts so I am focusing on that now Two of the LED's in the dash are starting to die, will replace replacement ones The roof on the passenger side is starting to lose its clear coat. It about a coffee cup in size, it looks like someone when painting the car has left a coffee cup on the roof and forgot about it. small scratches on the side skirts and rear bumper, with some decent ones on the front lower lip inside of the boot has a small amount of rust, it’s nothing serious but just worth a mention. passenger side door hinge is slowly lower than the right side (closes fine, but if you lightly close it has issues closing) Price I have the car listed on Carsales for $9,000, however that will include another 6 months of rego, as currently the rego expires in June. I think that is a pretty fair price given all of the work that has gone into the car (and also comparing against other cars on carsales) and how much work it needs (pretty much nothing) I'm not interested in swaps, or in taking really silly offers. Honestly, I would rather burn my car then see someone buy it for $6,000 when it has more than double that spent on it over the last year. I am interested in hearing some offers and happy for people to come and take a look (yea no test pilots please) as I am sure this is one of the neatest R32's you will find Regards

Hi everyone, It is with much saddness that I am selling my R32 GTST. I am selling because i cannot afford to keep the skyline as well a a 180 as a drift car. The R32 has served me well, though it has a few issues which will mean the buyer will need to invest some TLC into it. It is missing the heater core - it went to auto elec who removed the core because it was broken, but they didnt replace it. It also has a fuel leak at the cylinder 4 injector. - which should only require a new o-ring. Otherwise it runs well, and is really nice to drive. It has some minor body damage, (photos included below) with some minor rust around the rear passenger side tail light. i have owned the car for about 2 years, and have enjoyed it immensely. its rego will expire on the 31st July 2012. I am asking $6,500 but will negotiate in person with any interested buyers. The car is currently located in Thornleigh, (north west sydney) but it may move to Lidcombe/Aurburn (west ish Sydney) because it is beginning to take up space at home. I can be contacted on 0439405778 or at [email protected] or you can send me a PM here. Now pictures: damage to rear passenger side taillight damage to front bumper - drivers side. scrape to front bumper - passenger side.

Hey guys So basically i have put a RB25DET NEO into a R32 GTST Everything mechanical is done. I have used the RB25det NEO Loom and ECU I basically need a guide/help on wiring the Rb25det Neo engine loom to the R32 gtst body loom and to basically get this thing started and running. Now i have searched everywhere for days found little bits and pieces like this : The internal wiring is the only hard part. You need to place the wires from the 34 loom into the factory 32 internal loom. This is easy if you know what every wire from the 32 and 34 ecu’s is and what thus each wire in each plug in the 32 and 34 kick panel is. It is easiest (in my opinion) to cut the internal loom plugs off the 34 loom and off the 32 loom where it went onto the main ecu loom, and attach the 32 plugs onto the 34 ecu loom. This way, if you crash your 32 or whatever and want to put the neo into a new 32 all your wiring is done basically. If you do it the other way, you will also need all the corresponding 34 internal plugs from the internal loom. I say do it the first way. It’s your choice. The only point to really note and emphasise here is this: The r32 is basic. The 34 had TCS and ABS. Each system in the 34 has it’s own computer ie for the 1. Engine 2. TCS 3. ABS Each computer works both independently, receiving the signals it needs to and consequently processing them, and together. They all talk to each other. If you remove the ABS computer (or in the 32’s case, it was never there to start with) the engine computer does not see a signal from the ABS computer, so it thinks the car has no brakes. And it won’t go. So you need to trick the ECU into thinking that the TCS and ABS computers are their, functioning properly, and sending a signal so the ecu thinks you have never locked up braking or lost traction whilst driving. The information on how to do this, along with spreadsheets of what every wire in the 32 and 34 kick panels is, the plug layouts, ecu pinouts etc is all available via application in writing Now it says what to do but not how TO DO IT ?!?! does anyone have a guide or write up for this? OR know how to do it Thanks kindly Ryan

Hi Everyone, Thought I would see what the masses thought before we came up with a plan of attack / started spending money. Recently we put some new wheels onto an R32 GTST 18X9 on the front, 18X10 (with 255’s) on the rear based on a couple of recommendations and it turns out that it was slightly too aggressive and didn’t quite fit on the rears. We managed to get the guards rolled out an extra 10mm, wound the suspension stiffness up and managed to get home but I would still not be confident with any big knocks. What I was wondering if installing rear camber arms would be a good solution to our problem? We can probably raise the rear end slightly as well which should help a little bit so if camber will sort this out are there any reccomendations on camber arms? Currently been looking at Cartel and GKTech. Other option is to flare the guards which I’m not too keen to consider at this stage. Cheers!
