Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

I want HIDs..

Anyone got any they wna palm off?

We both buy some and you can do it for me.

You both buy the kits and i'll install them for ya. Easy as to install, did mine on the R33, took me a 2-3 hours to do, but i had no idea what i was doing....now i do :).

Would anyone recommend having the lights realigned since changing to HID's?

hey Matty, amazing how a bit of rubber can bring the tuff look out in a truck........4X4 + highway terrains = ghey!!

definitely.....however all terrains works for towing and daily driving. at least the ATZ 4 rib are a tough looking tyre that performs well without being noisy

i is bored.

Random note, narva is awesome. They make these factory looking dash switches that fit in most standard dash openings. Had to fix up a few things for my spotties (plus preparing for the extra lights im getting in a few weeks), and i bought a few of these (excuse the holes in the dash, have to make a trip to nissan and buy a few blank plates):

Which kit should I go for Abe?

Links? Prices?

Really comes down to how much you want to spend and brand you prefer. I myself went with a Bosch 6000k HID kit from the group buy, pictures here from my car blog - near the bottom of the page. I only went with Bosch as most of there other products are quite good, i went with 6000k as they aren't yellow and aren't too blue (illegal).

Group Buy link with pics. - I believe it has closed, but he may start another one in the next few weeks/months.

Would mine hitting you up soon about that install.. One of my headlights is out at the moment so I kinda want it fixed asap. But I would really love to get HID's.

Anyone know how to get the main headlight globe out of a R32 GTS-t? I can't work it out.

Might be a dumb Q, but is the tank from a non-EFI 31/pintara? I know with most of my previous projects, for ease of engineering and getting Regency approval for SR and CA transplants into a 1600/200B, an anti-surge bowl was grafted into the stock fuel tank. Beats having a swirl pot for the cops to see.

If its a stock non-EFI tank, then the fuel pump may not be adequately picking up the fuel. Its a guess, but my 2c worth.

Maybe also a ventilation issue with pressure in the tank?

as for the hole in the fuel tank, the best way to fix it aside from getting some brave kent to weld it is to use natural flagrance free soap. Scrub it on the hole while there is fuel in there, the soap reacts with the fuel and stops up the hole better than that putty crap u can get from the servo.

i thought it was dubious, but i tried it on the rollas fuel tank and it works a treat. The guy that i got the idea from has been driving around in his ae86 with his tank fixed like that for the last 2 1/2 years :P

      Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?

      I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
