Outer Northside Aspley To Caboolture

[boiracer]

it could be any of the rubbers under the front, mine for example im pretty sure are the sway bar rubbers.

as for parts, no idea yet either, havent had to co any of this stuff either. but i'd say give bursons etc a ring first. and let us know

[Chris Rogers]

are ball joints DIY'able ?? where is best place to aquire them?? bursons/repco or ebay or other??

I am used to regular aussie cars(all my previous cars were ford fairlanes.. ZL(XF shape), NA (EA shape), AU.. where parts are easy as pie to get from the usual sources

all this import part shenanigans is new to me haha

if its suspension bit - fulcrum stafford. PM KRCHER (carl - kiwi with the black R33)

he will probably be able to help.

failing that I can if you can provide a build plate and what you think you need.

An update on my 33, not as good as clint tho

Installed FMIC (HDI HYBRID) few months ago

Recently installed digital calibre guage + turbosmart boost tee (clint wired all the vacuum leaks out for me, still yet to clean up)

I have the 3" cat back exhaust, so not im waiting till next week (hopefully) then i will order my front dump pipe and catback, then get it installed either threw people i know or threw a shop.

but due to an unexpected suprise, i will be waiting to get my tune (ill pester the fiance) and try to get it done. then for now, thatd be it for stage 1.

to come, i will be looking at getting a 90m forward intake plenum with a 90m throttle body, then the respray (or which ever comes first!)

sorry i havent been active at the meets, but im keen to start it up again!

[RandomHero83]

G'day All,

First post and just moved to Brissy 3 weeks ago.

I just bought a R32 GTST pick it up on Thursday (Hopefully)

I'm on the north side too in Murrumba Downs. I am curious too since I am new to the area if anyone could point me to a decent place to get an alarm fitted (Not sure if it has one already yet but I want something a little overkill after reading about all the skylines going missing) or I am sure my german shepard would be happy living in it

Plus what tuner shop would people recommend up this way?

Cheers

Chris

Hi Christian welcome to Brisbane, Murrumba is a good place to live.

The tuning shop I am using is RPM in Morayfield, Peter Roma does an excellent job on tuning my car and is about to do even more.

What has been done to your 32 already or are you starting with a fresh base?

It has the basics,

FMIC

Dump pipe & Exhaust

Pod Filter

HD Clutch *Can't remember the spec at the moment*

Then just the typical turbo timer etc...

I am just wondering what should be a couple of the first mods to do to it. First skyline but my brother in law had a R33 with similar mods and a few extras like PowerFC and a few other bits.

Last car was a XR6 Turbo back over in Perth really nice good car but I've always loved Skylines.

Cheers.

Coil pack's then a Nistune unless you want to go with an after market ECU ( Power FC)

[boiracer]

then what he said

and chris at audio express!!for the alarm

[RandomHero83]

Keep alive post,

Holidays are awesome, Learning a few songs on the drums.

Car is sitting in the garage waiting for new parts to be fitted.

[boiracer]

holidays..........ill get those soon!!! dammit!

finally broke something on my car recently. not sure when exactly....tryed to squirt the front window...but with no luck.

i assume its just the motor, as the rear one works fine.

what oil you guys running in your cars?? Motul Turbolite is getting real hard to find locally...despite being told they are still stocking it. and ralfs cars oil pressure drop since pouring Penrite into it. seems like all theyre oils are just plain average

[christafari]

Just a quick update, picked up the R32 today.

Look forward to meeting a few of the peoples up this way.

Couple of little things I've already spotted is right rear shock is a little shot quite a bit of wheel rub on the guard with a person in the back and passenger seat hardly any with only someone in the passenger and none with just me in it. Other than that it handles very well, was coming onto the Gateway Motorway just driving normally not even had the car for 4 hours and the police zoomed across 2 lanes and screamed up behind me was pretty odd wasn't speeding or doing anything stupid at all.

Only other thing at the moment is under boost if I stomped it it kind of surges and there is a little bit of a pop from the exhaust when I take the foot off can tell its running rather rich it has a petrol smell floating about, obviously needs a tune. So any good advice on tune shop or getting stuff (not too expensive) prior to a tune would be good.

Will actually have a full list of what has been done to it once I've properly done the "just got home" inspection but the turbo back exhaust is HKS as well as the FMIC its a rather straight / tidy R32 needs some work on the paint here and there though and can tell its been nicely looked after.

Just thought I would drop a line and let everyone know

Cheers,

Chris

really?? sweet! will drop in there today and hope for the best...otherwise i might be biting the bullet and going royal purple;

[mattis96]

yeah it was there, and they had a few bottles of it to, its only got 1 facing though so it blends in with the others

[RandomHero83]

Royal Purple is the oil you want, it's expensive ($99 for 5L) but it is great.

[boiracer]

got the turbo light at repco off the shelf,and for less than Autobarn where selling it for
