It's been a while since I posted up any updates on the progress of my 4 door project so thought I'd bring you all up to speed. I have been working on it slowly as time has permitted, the interior is stripped out with the exception of the dash (next weekends job) and with the help of a mate the engine and gearbox our now out and the engine bay ¾ stripped.

The rust is worse than I first thought so it looks like I will be stripping it to a bare shell for repairs and it is going to take longer than I first planned but that's all part of the fun isn't it :) 3 months in and I've blown the budget and the timeline. lol

I am now looking for some bits, it would be great if anyone can assist with these things:

Surrounds for interior door handles x 2

Trim for the centre pillar for both sides

Chrome trim from the front of the guards for both sides

The little glowing things on top of the guards that tell you if your lights are on for both sides (also if anyone could tell me what they are called it would be greatly appreciated :))

P.s Thanks to Mario I now have a gear knob! Cheers mate :)

Now for some current pictures.

Hey Rick, the headlight monitors, there are a set on import monster, under gc211, but are for the c211 model with optic fibre connectors

Thanks Mario but I couldn't find them, must have been to late :(

Mate has a set of door handles spare I think.

It would be great if you could ask him if he would sell them to me. I just need the black plastic trim behind the handle, I think someone has done them up to tight at some stage and the centres have broken around the screw. Cheers.

I had a pair repaired by a plastic welder, came up as good as new, cost me about $25 that might be a option for you?

Will ask him today and get back to you. They were for sale but the original buyer backed out I think.

      Hello, Newbie, anyone know my 32's history?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.

      Hello, Newbie, anyone know my 32's history?

      By Leigh_Mack · Posted

      Hello,new to the group, I bought a R32 from auction recently, wondering if anyone knows the cars history, seems to have the usual go fast bits on it, plan is to do an engine swap- add 2 extra cylinders and 1 extra turbo. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i4rjmlzubjbwjtguh6f4s/IMG20241011140744.jpg?rlkey=q0lumm251377vknbqktfwrycq&st=7scvwx4e&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ro24qmwzlczzlfsr4y05x/Screenshot_2024-10-10-10-49-23-90_9a2f5bb2149dae94cd1e190effc09b33.jpg?rlkey=oyguh26ttshlf04ccp48odf4v&st=xloae97b&dl=0   New to forums and posting pics, if links don't work, take it easy on me, 42yrs old and I tune carburettors!!

      2020 Nissan Skyline 400R V37/Infiniti Q50 RS insurance in NSW

      By sonicii · Posted

      As far as I know, Infiniti stopped importing vehicles before 2020, even though they were still selling their stock for at least a year or 2 after that, they were older build years, therefore, you can import a 2020 400R, because you couldn't buy an AuDM 2020 built Q50 RS. As for insurance, you might need to go through one of the enthusiast insurance companies, they tend to insure a lot more grey import models than the mainstream insurers as Duncan mentioned.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      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.
