Hello Everyone,

I used to visit this forum a lot back when I had an R33 in 2005/6. I sold the R33 in 2007 and brought an XR6 Turbo ute which is my luxury work ute.

I will now be a regular visitor to this forum again as I have recently purchased an R32 with an Rb25 engine. It is good to get behind the wheel of a Skyline again. My honest opinion is that the R32 I just purchased is better than sex.

Cheers and see you ppls around town

About a month and a half between posts, essentially this thread a microcosm of the NT.

There would be a lot more than 20 skylines in the territory wouldn't there?

I mean even I have a black r32 gtst, that everyone seems to hate? (probably because it is stock apart from rims)

Yeah, I was looking at getting a Aluminium radiator.

But the sad story is my car is auto *heavy heavy shame*

So I would have to run a transmission cooler separately and have to find some place to mount it,

That and I could only find Davies Craig coolers.

Unless there is a better way?

Any ideas except the obvious manual conversion :) ?

Anybody up there interested in a few R32 GTR parts I have lying around

Factory camshafts

ABS unit

HICAS computer and various HICAS bits

Factory ECU

DBA4000 series slotted rotors - nearly new

Factory coils

Bilstein shocks with King low springs

Let me know soon as the car goes in the container on the 16th of this month and I will chuck it in the boot otherwise I will bin it.

Anything else you may need for a Skyline let me know as I can get most bits easily and will chuck it in the boot B4 the car goes in the container.

Yeah the gtt has a semi auto with toggle buttons on the wheel to change gears. there is a bit of a lag when changing gears and automatically changes down if you forget to so it doesn't stall, that said i don't use the semi-manual too often. I think the one in the city is a rb25de Neo without a turbo and thats probably the only reason it hasn't sold

Ohh and BTW where can u get HKS products in Darwin, am getting one installed.

(Posted earlier but skylines australia crashed)

That's a pretty good price for an 80mm radiator, but I don't think there is enough room between the front of the engine fan and radiator, not to mention the auto predicament. Thanks for the link :3some:

    • Is rebuilding it even a thing? Where would the shop find parts for it? I looked at some off these local online stores for my r34 and suprisingly they had brand new aftetmarket ones for $600-800 I think. I guess r32 might be a bit tougher.
    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
    • They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to move wrt the other.
    • I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.
    • Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.
