Hey guys, bought the mrs a new car after selling her 'Holden Astra Lemon'. Its a Black 1992 R32 Gtst Manual and its in terrible condition. pinch.gif

We bought it with around 170,000km on the clock. It has rediculars sun damage on the exterior and interior, but we only paid $4k for it rolleyes.gif

I'll be posting pics soon as i have already started the project and bought some parts.

BTW this is my first real build as i haven't done much to my R34, or worked on RB20's before, so ill be needing plenty of help with different things along the way, I look forward to your comments!

So there you go! thumbsup.gif

After a bit of a look around for some spare parts we found an ad in the classified section that suited our needs perfectly as the seller was in townsville and had pretty much everything that we needed for the interior laugh.gif

THANKS sLyLinE.32!!!!

Here are some pics of the parts we picked up

We also grabbed a new centre console because the original lid had shattered underneath the leather, and we got new air vents for the dash! very cheap too!

And finally some small progress on what we have done to the car so far...

Looks like a good starting point mate, a bloke came into my work once about 4 months ago, he had a 32 in way way way worse condition then this, almost all the clear was worn off, interior was destroyed all he really had was a drivers seat and a steering wheel. althought he had a big 26/30 under the bonnet, man it was good fun going for a test drive :). All the best, watching with interest

    • loved seeing the zenvo on the a1 just after the hatfield tunnel i was the guy in the white van trying to egg you on it sounded awesome and those exhausts glowing red inside insane cheers for the thumbs up tim and tom.
    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
