haha yeh im gunna dump her at some point :laugh:

gotta get the guards rolled first, it already scrapes at the back whgen i go over a bump at speed :S

Heres some interior/engine pics

can see the door handles need to be painted.

need to get stereo in and off my bedroom floor

air con vents need replaceing, no biggie, going round scrappies next week.

left over tinting needs to be scraped off

had some floor mats in there but i took em out as they were ugly plush grey skyline mats :S (wts :laugh:)

steering wheels for sale as soon as my brand new MOMO jet comes from japan.

new gear/brake boots will be ordered as soon as seller gets back to me :D

im gunna move the turbo timer to beneath the stereo, it keeps falling down (any ideas to make it stick ?)

also need to grab a lighter lol, dont smoke, but it looks daft without it :S

engine bay doesnt look great but once i get oil catch can in, a new aluminium radiator ovwerflow, heat shield for pod and a good degreasing, that should clean it up until i can afford to replace all the lines and get some stuff painted/podered

also i was under the impression that 89 - 90 R32's had blue guage cluster, does that mean sum1 has swapped them round in my car ?

Really!, you sure its the guards and not the exhaust?

Could even be your rear suspension setup is too soft and lower = stiffer, that will fix you up shmickington steel :D.....Now that I read it back, it sounds unright! :laugh:

good stuff, cheers for comment :(

NEW PICS ! :(

very nice car, and what do you guys mean by getting your guards rolled ?

if you run your hand around the underside of your wheel arch, at the body line, you will feel that the sheet metal turns 90 degrees and follows the curve, sticks out (in) about an inch.

edit: and thanks ! :D

got some of my new bits on. my dad is bringing home brackets for my catch can today aswell, but im still not 100% how to plumb it to an RB20 haha ( any help there ? ) pic of gear knob does it no justice, thats not dust in the "NISMO" bit, just light reflecting back and forth. ill have to get in back seat and get a pic in focus so you can see how nice it actually is. will wait for my new boots to come though. (gear shifter and handbrake boots :) ) steering wheel is mint, im soo happy with it :D and of course the radiator cap, im pretty sure the box says it adds about 3rwkw, but its japanese so i cant be sure :)

will get pics of engine bay once my catch can is mounted and plumbed and ive painted and put back my strut bar. i ordered ne wpassenger side air vent today too, interior will look nice once thats here and i put my head unit in. then off to the trimmers :)

nice deck bro :(

haha gimme time man :P

i got an alpine 9855R sitting in my room right next to me :)

just gotta pick up some front splits and get it installed.

I've got my old GT-R front/rear brakes (non-Brembo) and factory rims available if you're interested. Not really trying to sell, but a cheap upgrade for you none the less. Drop me a PM if you're keen.

Nice ride BTW - like the 32s in black (although I'm somewhat biased :mellow: )

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
