yup, wonderful world of owning an R32...

almost 99.9% of them have a cracked left airvent and the skin on the dash starts giving near the corners.

here's what else to look out for:

center vent (also going the same way as the left one)

top corner of the interior next to rear quarter window bubbling

windcreen rubbers cracking

weathershield rubbers going white (easy to fix with black vinyl dye)

rear window rubbers cracking/ falling off

all this is most probably due to the extreme heat that R32's go thru in australia, there's not much you can do. Being a 15 year old car dosen't help it either. If your interior is mint now, invest in some window tints and pamper the interior with armorall n stuff.

thats the thing.. my interior is f**kin mint... as in the seats... and carpet.. ive got the greyish white floormats... just the f**kin vent and the dash bubble lol... reckon throw overs for the seats would keep them goood? i always watchout for where i park it.. in the shade always.. drives mates crazy... but i dont want it to fade on me

yep same thing happens with cefiros ! .......pretty much all of them have lost there left air vent. My interior is also in mint conditon except for the dash which has a bubble in it and missing the vent ! ......I think Nissan japan must have spent less on the dash area of there cars ...as aust jap cars i have seen never seem to have this problem.

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
