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

      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.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      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.

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      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.

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      By DanielStone · Posted

      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
