I received my strut brace and brake lines today. Thought they were pretty.

Not real CF unfortunately :), but it does only weigh 1.2kg

And along with the reset of this crap I should be sit'n pretty.

Going in for the stainless kermit intake piping soon. Hopefully next week if kermit is ready :D

No sticker HP this time but now the R needs rust repaired on the rear guard, bonnet and bar resprayed.

I've been putting that off for too long :D

Say Hi to your mum for me :D

brace was from Perfect Run. DCS carbon fibre model.

Cost was $201, although my conversion of Y18500 using www.xe.com came to $195 but oh well. Shipping was for 2.7kg which included the brake lines and it came to $59.

I just relised that i hate the look of the rear of a R32 GTR, so as i cant pass them, i may aswell drive one to save me from looking at it!!!

What im looking for is a really really clean and tidy STOCK 32 with low kilometres. If i cant find one, i wont buy one.

As for my take off against Paul, was he trying at all or not really??

Oh, nice floor mats Tom. :P

I though so too, with the Nismo twin it should feel more like stock.

Hate the 32 rear end? Its the nicest of all 4 main Skylines :domokun:

Most of the 32 GTR's coming out of Japan are the 1994 models which are Vspecs with the BBS's and the Brembos. As for low km's and stock these are your best option, obviously, but you can never know if the Japs run the clocks back a few 1000 k's. Just look for a Grade 5 on Prestige or whatever...

Sorry for the hijack...... wait a minit!

Tom do you mind stop hi jacking your own thread!

thank you!

Interested to see how your clutch goes though. Bringing her out to next wanneroo night?

p.s. Have to have a look at fair pricing on GTR's to. May just be a bit more than i want to pay.

Probably not too soon, I have insurance for both my cars (I bought a MKII Escort last week) and credit card debt (the clutch money) and owe my parents like $700 still so maybe later in the year. Should have the high power floor mats in by then too :( (she needs a vacuum)

    • I don't run the spring but it means you need to set your own belt tension.  I put tensioners on both sides too.
    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
