hey chef, im the guy that came to vicroads and the bank in the grey 32 the other day when you were picking up the car. apparently the right bulb is brand new and the left bulb was taken out to make sure that it was alright, and it was. so it might not have been put back in properly, therefore not coming on. try taking it out and puting it back in and see what happens.

Hey man,

I was the other guy that was going to buy that car!! What did u end up getting it for if i can ask? How much did it cost for RWC? I wasnt willing to buy it without it, i was a bit worried abou the exhaust manifold gasket? Did u get that fixed? Did it end up needing a new windscreen?

nah, no new windscreen, i got to get those two chips fixed.

I payed all up $13500 for it, and today in the car i found a reciept from the guys mechanic... i can't read it very well, but the bill was like $1300, i'm going to talk to him about that today.

BTW coco69, i used to hang at glenny but not su much recently, i think i've seen you down there. we'll hook up on the weekend some time....

Oh, and i replaced the bulb last night, cost $7. looks fine now...

i might wanna get the bonnet resprayed, any ideas how much it will cost??? or maybe but a white one on that was in the for sale section...thoughts??

Yeah. the paints sweet except for some stone chips on the front...

The Odometer on the car said around 95,000kms. I'm not saying its been clocked back. I'm just stating the facts.

It's funny how alot of people have cars the look exactly the same as mine. We should all go on a cruise to confuse people... fun with the cops too.

if your HICAS light is coming on at low revs then its time to replace your battery.

Sorry to but in guys, but speaking of R32's (I have one too! :-)) Does anyone know where to get some small mud-guards? I have seen some on a Skyline in a pic from the UK. I would like to get my hands on some for my R32 because I unfortunately have a short dirt road that must be driven on to get home :-(

Cheers.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
