turns out one of the braided lines split on the starter motor so oil pissed all over it, then caught fire and melted through clutch line and that kept going lol.. from what we can tell engine is fine, just gotta fix burnt wiring and replace what ever hoses/lines need replacing . hopefully done before domain HC!

Give me a yell if you need anything cobber, my old engine is still 99% complete so can rob it for spares :woot:

spotted: BOOST31 GTR being reborn, what a weekend

IT'S ALIVE!!! haha. thanks for the help buddy :woot:

now spotted is pretty much a whole other GTR in parts in my shed, better get snapping and start a for sale thread

spotted me having a bit of a shit fight with my turbo

i now have a new manifold-turbo gasket, 3 inch dump pipe and none of the rest of the exhaust :worship:

sounds awesome but i'll attach the rest of exhaust tmrw

can't wait to drive it with the new dump :)

the black r32 gtr with autocraft stickers is Jamie's, white one is P.J's, hes on the forum here somewhere :worship: not sure about other ones. burgz was in one doing limiter launches lol.

gotta love a limiter launch!!!!! also gotta love having a complete spare drive train in the workshop.....

Wishing i had have spotted someone breaking into my 32 on sunday and stealing all the audio gear :starwars: luckily they couldn't quite get the car but snipped a few cables under the bonnet and played with the fuses! Little bogans need their hands chopped off!!

Saw a very race spec silver 32 gtr in melville st car park yesterday looked tough!!

Spotted our wagon with new slotted rotors allround along with new pads, thanks to me and Scotty. Also spotted pipster tonight lookn like his wagon has a big dent in RHS front door. Costly!!

    • Not much. It's barely more than an hour's labour. So that-ish plus a boot, clamp strap, some grease.   But, being an R32 GTR, when it is up in the air and the driveshaft is out, about $9k worth of other problems will become visible.
    • Yes, as above. The welding is an easy enough job. Proper reupholstering, perhaps less so. These, and pretty much all seats of the same era (and probably still) rely on molded foam parts to make the shapes. That foam is the yellow detritus visible in the photos. And it is difficult to replicate. I didn't want the pain, so went aftermarket seats instead. But for "saving a classic".... it's probably worth the kidney and left nut that a trimmer will want to redo them.
    • Way too accurate.... source: got flogged by an unsuspecting i30N last night... Super tidy looking 32 though, hopefully you find the time and funds to get it back on the road and enjoy it again!
    • Source: This thread, and the thread this thread spawned from. Alternative take: Is heat actually an issue for the use case of this vehicle? I wonder if it actually would be. Nekminit
    • Considering the price of GTR stuff now the answer is yes. That's a straight forward TIG or even MIG job. I'd put extra tubing inside, for extra strength and weld it up. Then use the spare seat as an example to get the bolster rails in the correct position and the re-apolster. If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for the pair as they are?
