Off the boat from Japan. Just a peek.   TE37 Magnesium put aside for LMGT1   Not detailed for a while yet. After compliance, it should happen.   Titaniu

Was this car at JEM last week?

It was on the dyno i think. Was the engine built by Autosport? Heard you have had some bad luck with engines?

A snow flake is light and fluffy, that on the other hand is not so light and fluffy.

ie: 1 tonne of feathers is still as heavy as 1 tonne of iron.

But i was mainly referring to the environmental conditions the car is in and all the inherent issues that it will cause over time.

Where do you think every other Skyline in Australia came from?

The enviroment here is super dry in winter, much much drier than say most places in oz, thats why so many aussies come here for the snow, its the driest on the planet. Car is normaly garaged ! Seeing I've been here for nearly 10 years my concern to you would be the fact A) I know the history of my car

(B) most cars here sit in car lots for god knows how long without being started before they ever make it to auctions and they cop the full brunt of weather and acid rain,

© most japanese drivers wouldnt have a clue where the dip stick is..they drive their cars, put petrol in , and most dont dervice their cars until they have to do rego (shakken) which is every 2 years..

Trust me, a bit of snow is nothing compared to what I've seen some GTR's go thru before being shipped off to auction..

I'd take 50cms of Hokkaido light fluffy super dry snow sitting on my car for 1 day anytime compared to harsh aussie climate.

What's your point???? :D

Not all imports come from the snow covered mountains. The cheaper ones are covered with rust due to the salt roads in these areas. Just raising the question whether someone would buy a cheaper import if they saw the car covered in snow, like that one was.

^^ thats mint.

rekn you should swap the wheels off your GTST tho, and lower it a tad :D

Cheers ;)

I actually sold the work wheels of the gts25t a couple of weeks ago, they wouldnt have looked very good on the gtr because of their sizes and offsets anyway, not to mention they had different sized tyres front and back so would mess with the ATTESA.

I agree with the lowering part, it does sit a little bit high, but overall i am actually very impressed with the stock suspension so might just go with some Tein springs and also some wheel spacers, should make it look a bit nicer!

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah pretty sure they are m4, but best to check, and perhaps use new hardware Also don't over torque them......there was that one time I lost an expensive engine after a workshop overtorqued one of those bolts and it ended up in the oil pump (no, I don't know why they removed the intake mesh either)

      I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading.

      Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?

      Stagea Automatic Box

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
