Thats awesome

may i ask how much it set up back?

car is on loan from my boss. the deal is that if i pay for consumables - ie fuel and tyres- and keep up basic maintenence, then i get to use it for free. it has been sitting around for a few years so the first thing is to go thru the whole car and make sure it's all safe and CAMS approved.

hopefully it'll be competing in hill climbs later this year.

cool car! you will need some good biceps with the slicks up font and the tiny go kart steering wheel!

should be wicked fun and sound great with the big webbers on it.

I wish I could score a deal like that.

But what happens if you bend it?

funnily enough that was never discussed. i'm speaking to roll cage fabricators at the moment to try and get some extra strength put in around the driver for safety.

hopefully the steering isn't too heavy- the car weighs stuff all- but i am thinking of putting a larger diameter wheel, mounted further back for better ergonomics.

next time i have it running i'll record the noise it makes. sounds Fkn wicked, little flames out the pipes on overrun at times too.

Well i was waiting to put the new TE37s on it and the new engine bits before posting pic but who knows when that will be...so

not sure how i missed this-

your car looks amazing!

such a cool r32, with loads of history too.

and the wing is very cool, everything about it looks mint, and in my opinion it will look better sitting on some wide 17's.

keep it up!

Cheers! Have some 17" TE37s (9.5" R and 9" front) in satin black with some metallic grey flake or something through it. They will be going on when the car gets back from the mechanics in a month or so. (Brakes, manifolds, exhaust, tune etc)

If a few things go my way then the car will be doing some pretty cool and special things later this year...otherwise it will just be sitting in storage whilst I am away :)

What size wheels are they, i would hurt people for the right sized Regas for my car :D

17x8 +35 fronts with 25mm spacer

17x9 +18 rears

I didn't even know what they were when I bought the car. I was worried they might be a bit dodgy when I saw "Made in Russia" stamped into the back of them! lol

posting this in here because I know you're all motorsport tragics, and are seemingly not biased to one make or model,

a friend emailed the link to me, he didn't have an explanation as to why pickles have all of this available at once, but some very nice gear none the less!!!!!

edit: it appears they are having their muscle car auction...

http://www.pickles.com.au/cars/listing/LIS...aleid-103001773

namely the vs gts-r serial number 001 with 79kms on it!

also the HRT 427...

the walkinshaw, and turbo XE... the list goes on!

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
