i hope you don't have a heavy right foot :laugh:

nah actually I'm shifting my gears around 2.5k RPM at the moment.

Want to get used to the twin plates before increasing the weight on

my right foot :P and I really want to see how many Kms from full tank

if I granny the car. Hopefully I can get 400+ kms from this tank!

Thanks mate, my missus knew how much I want a GTR. When I was driving a Corolla and she saw me

drooling over a GTR on the road every time one drove past and I've been talking about GTR for the last

4-5 years so she did not object me from buying one :P

Hope you will get to buy one in the future mate. Tell her it's your car your money :D

Compare to my old car which was the corolla 2005 :( She's way way quicker.

very stable on the freeway and in the corner.

Before I've come across this R32, I've test drive the R33 GTR from another dealer in

Dandenong, the R33 was no where near as good as this one. Felt engine worn yeahh

not as fast :P The km on the clock was 93,xxx something but it was an aftermarket

nismo dash. The dude reckon it's the genuin Kms on the car, and the car is a Vspec.

So I just walked away didn't bother calling him back or anything

Please correct me if I'm wrong about the nismo dash. I think even if the car is a Vspec

it still should come with normal dash yeah? not the 320km/hour one.

If yours is pretty much standard and if you don't drive it aggressively, then YES you can definitely get 400+kms from the tank.

Because mine is stock standard and it always gets more than 400 kms every single time.

I drive 60% on freeway and 40% on hwy.

The best I remember is 1 litre ~ 8.2 klms (or 12 litres for 100 kms). I refilled when at 460-470klms (really conservative driving :blush: )

But there is no fun to drive slow all the time ... that's not what we get this car for isn't it? :(:):D

So my average is 1 litre ~ 7.7 klms (normal driving + a bit aggressive from time to time)

Is that for full tank? Not bad see ;) .. try cleaning the afms will help a bit too :D ..

i hate driving in cbd :down:

can't imagine how you drive with a twin plate ..

think i'm gonna try a cushioned button when it's due for replacement ..

so enjoy the car :down: .. i only have mine for a year and to me it's a great car ..

treat it well and i believe you'll always enjoy it :angry:

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
