Ignoring the part of this other R32 conversation about Brembos read on http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p;#entry2470549

Basically different stock suspension, but usually changed and the active rear diff of limited benefit so not reaally worth it no.

[ the sticker- Some d*ckhead put one on mine, so any thoughts on getting the stupid thing off?

To remove the dreaded sticker grab a heat gun and a decent putty knife, heat the sticker up (gently) and slide off with putty knife. Just removed half a mile of pinstriping and graphics off a fibreglass boat using this method and no ill effects.

Bloody oath! Don't want to get ripped off just paying for the sticker.

I've removed alot of very old pinstriping, well it was actually like a big 80's lightning flash graphic down the side of an old Patrol I bought a few years ago. It was a bastard of a job! Best thing I found (and I tried everything!) was a household cleaning product called De-solve-it. It is a citrus based solvent that is safe for paint and really does a good job of dissolving glues. It comes in a trigger pack - clear bottle with a blue and orange sticker. Got it from Bunnings. Spray some on and let it soak in for 10 minutes and then spray a bit more and start peeling the sticker off. It may help to keep spraying a little under the sticker as it lifts off. If its really on there a flexible plastic putty applicator can be used as a scraper that won't harm the paint. Any glue residue can be removed by a rag sprayed with the de-solve-it. It will ball up and come off the paint.

The sticker adds that little extra weight to the rear end helping you put more traction down and enhancing corner exit speed.

Agreed!! :P

On a more serious note, just look for a GTR that suits you. I couldn't tell the difference between driving a v-spec and a standard one. I think the reaction time of the standard ATTESSA was 1/100th of a sec where as the V-Spec ATTESSA was 1/1000th of a sec. And everyone put aftermarket suspension in anyway so it is hardly worth spending the extra money for that....

By memory,

The most important is the active lsd.

Some people believe at over 180km's an hour the thing can want to get out of shape abit.

Buy the best gtr you can see v-spec is only a wanker thing.

Cheers

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

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I made a little more progress last night and added some E85 safe fuel tank baffle foam in behind the stock cam cover baffle plate.  It still feels really wrong shoving foam inside the engine but apparently its fine based on it pretty much being the MINES/Hi-Octane RB26 cam baffle kit and the few posts here I have found of people doing it and the lack of posts saying the foam broke down and ruined the motor... Still plan to check it frequently though lol The last step for this round of oil control modifications I plan to make is to add some -12AN fittings to the cam covers and connect them to some (already existing luckily) -12AN fittings on the sump. Basically a sudo head drain/sump breather/pressure equaliser without having to remove the motor and do the one on the rear of the head. My plan is to add them to either the tops or the sides of the cam covers at the back. unless there is a compelling reason to have them at the front on the sides which i have seen a few times though they were all on RB26 cam covers from memory so that may be due to the stock breathers being on the back and the integral baffle being different ?

      Import insurance in 2025

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      from an old insurance company i was with (Budget Direct) I had someone roll back into me at the lights got them to pull over. Got a picture of thier licence with address, had a dash cam video and, thier phone number. But only had 3rd party on the shitbox i was driving. insurance did nothing, cops wouldn't do anything due to the value of the damage (under $3000) so i just had to suck it up and go to U Pull It.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Small Update on the Exhaust Situation A 200-cell cat was a bit too expensive for now, so I had the exhaust shop fabricate a new exhaust from the cat to the rear and an exhaust tip. I went this route to avoid cutting into the original exhaust and keep it intact. It’s essentially straight-piped, and the sound is noticeably different. The exhaust tip came with a silencer, so if it gets too loud, I can easily install it to tone things down slightly. Right now, the car bangs and pops like crazy -- which I personally love. In the future, I might add a resonator or a 200-cell cat, as niZmO_Man suggested, but for now, I’m really happy with how it turned out.

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
