Hey guys, i just got a r32 N/A and was wondering whats some good exterior / interior or bolt on mods that i can.

Its Manual, 170 xxx on the clock.

4 Stud, which i hate.

I was think of getting a Strut bar or gtr bonnet.

and what needs to be done to get a GTR front end on.

It all depends on what your doing with the car when you get off you P's.

Im not really sure what im doing with mine after i get off my p's or if im just going to sell it and buy a turbo.

New wheels (hard with 4 stud so best looking for multi), Sound system, tint and lower on coilovers are all pretty good things to do.

I personally didnt like the look of the grey interior so i bought some leatherette retrims for the seats, door trims, console lid etc in black and blue with the nissan logo.

Another great mod is the white guage faces and led's in the dash but be careful not to screw your cluster.

I liked the look of led's in the footwell aswell as led undercars, but its all personal preference.

Im thinking of going a gtr bonnet/grill for mine too sometime in the future.

What colour is it and is it a coupe or 4 door ??

cheers

I'd tend to focus on two things before the cosmetic touch.

1) performance upgrades which means that the strut brace is a plus for 'turn-in' etc

2) advanced driver courses, because it won't matter whether or not you've got turbos.

Later on, you'll be all set up for a turbo car.

noting that you said 'i hate the 4 studs' i take it you have bog standard r32 wheels on it. that would be the best place to start if you ask me.

get some sweet aftermarket rims that also have a centre-cap to cover up your 4 stud shame.

here is what i got with my R33 NA. deep dish 17's.

this mod will improve both your looks and handling out of sight. (as long as your put decent rubber on em and also dont go for rubber band profiles...)

another tip if you head down this road, try to get multi-fit rims. THat way if you want to swap them onto a turbo down the line or even sell em all this is possible (also got that option on my rims)

enjoy...

+1, but if you dont have enough cash to get decent rims just take the centre cap off and spray your current ones black with acouple cans of wheel paint from autobarn (if its the alloys)

haha i got a few 4x114.3 rims at home, cause i had a few cars before xD not on my P's yet,

so i have a few rims, but really never actually stuck to one car, i think i might keep the 32 :)

i see its pretty uncommon for a coupe r32 n/a manual, so i might keep it. someone can shed some light ?

anyways , i was thinking of the various mods, maybe i should put a Build tread xD..

would it be rice if i had a gtr kit on my car ? LOL or even get like a gtr key.. cause the feeling of having one with out the hassles of the law etc..

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?

      Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
