Thought I’d make a contribution to this thread since I mainly whore the Classifieds threads.

My name is Dave and I'm from Sydney. I have previously owned half a dozen corolla's whilst on my P's, and then went to the darkside and owned an FC RX7 which was reasonably “sex spec” to say the least. I sold it due to costs of running it daily were hurting my wallet. Now the Nissan bug has bitten me...

During May this year, after I sold my RX7 I bought this R32 of a mate of mine for a price I couldn’t refuse, it was reasonably stock and I had no real intentions at first to mod..

But then I had a few setbacks so took it off the road..

A little over a month ago I bought another R32 from Wagga Wagga to strip down, I sold the rolling shell to a mate of mine and kept everything else.

And amongst some of the bolt-on goodies I removed off the maroon R32, I decided since my blue R32 is currently off the road awaiting for exterior work to commence why not kill two birds with one stone and put all the bolt on goodies from the maroon car into the blue car.

My plans for the R32 are to put all the bolt-on mods (consisting of the Garrett GT3540 Turbo, front mount, exhaust, microtech ecu…. The list goes on..) from the maroon skyline onto the blue one and then once the car is drive-able again have the car resprayed (still un-decided on what color to have done) and then possibly sell the white 18’s to fund a different set of wheels.

When the time comes to go ahead with the respray I'm going to leave the engine bay as it is and then have it resprayed later on in the future when I have acquired more knowledge of going down the path of doing the RB26/30 conversion.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!

      Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler?

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
