Not sure where i am going for compliance - i was going to ask for recommendations on who did some of yours. If you know of anyone who will do a good job that would be excellent if you could let me know.

Ryan i ended up getting the car for just under 1.5mil.

Its big and black and fast and oh how well will it HANDLE omg.... coilovers and brembos... i wonder what width tyre i can run under it.

FIRST MODS - clear front and side indicators! orange on black looks so bad... Then a decent, flowing cat-back exhaust.

you have NO IDEA how excitied i am... Actually, you probably do!

I would be booking in a workshop ASAP before it gets on the boat. I used IAMSHE on the Gold Coast for my Stagea......They were ok but had a couple of small dramas with some of their work that they'd done on the car. Nevertheless car was quick through the shop and on the road as promised.

:laugh:

Pretty sure you could get the 260RS in black S1, but not RSfour etc. Ive seen a fair few black S1 260RS's while we were searching for this one, but none in as good a condition.

If so own one of a few original black, 5spd manual S1's haha...

Might give IAMSHE a call. Anyone got contact details....??

I might get S2 taillights, but will probably just tint the indicators on the factory ones - to suit the dark paint.

Got 50 photos of the car sent to me - will post up after work.

PICS UP in first post!

Looks awesome! Engine bay looks pretty clean, can't see any paint missing off plenum chamber... maybe a few specks... might be genuine k's

Soooo, I get first guess at the 'mystery box'... Damper adjustment?

or maybe a toll counter for the toll roads? My RS Four's got one (says "Toyota" on there lol)

Is genuine k's. The interior of the car has no wear and tear at all (ie steering wheel, seats, gear shifter and handbrake, carpet, all like new) Plus has full service records etc.

Might be a damper adjustment for the coilovers... not sure.

congrats on the new purchase matey.

the "mystery box" is a PIVOT SPEED METER, you can just make it out if you look hard enough in the right hand lower corner of its screen.

essentially it is a fuel cut defender with a few other nifty functions such as, highest achieved speed for that drive session as well as 100,200,300 and 400 metre times if you want to set it up for runs down the strip, it also does an average speed as well as real time accurate speed display on the screen, which according to the dyno is closer to actual road speed than the OEM speedo, and couple of other things too.

i have one in my S2 and its a nifty little gadget that scared the bejeebus out of my old man when he took it for a spin on our private test strip, he was concentrating on the factory speedo and when it ran out i told him to look down at the other one mounted on top of the column.

he immediately buttoned off as he thought we were doin 180 but were doing 245 on the little box with 1500rpm to go till hit the red.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
