hey everyone,

After a year and half of sitting in the garage, the r32 is finally ready to be licenced!

I brought her home on the 27th December 2004, parked her in the back and pulled her bits.

post-11604-1148780693.jpg The first photo i took as soon as I got her home. :)

I basicly started work on her straight away, so for the first couple of months i was hard at it, then i took a 6 month break (No time moslty).

At one stage she looked like this post-11604-1148781213.jpgpost-11604-1148781181.jpg

Now it looks like this post-11604-1148781420.jpg

Basicly got a full engine bay and underbody respray, powder coated the intake, turbo pipes and cam covers. Sprayed everything else on the engine, and in the engine bay.

Anyways, im booked in at midland pits toomrow morning, hope it all goes well!!

Steve

friggin cool

mine made it over this morning as well.

took it to east perth... was really worried.. cos i was sure even a stock car could get picked on if they really were in a crabby monday morning sorta mood..

smooth as.. Jim at east perth.. good bloke.

yeah it does have one, but i took off to go over the pits.

The guy noticed it had the mountings for a wing, and said if the wing doesnt have any sharp pointy edges, its allowed.

Yeah but the thing is what are "sharp pointy edges" I don't rekon my wing has sharp pointy edges, guess I can compare at the next cruise...

    • Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.
    • My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )
    • Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?
    • Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!    
    • Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
