Thanks mate...... Owning an ADM and a V-spec 2 is quite a privilege.

Cheers,

Bob.

Wish I had the ADM as well ;-)

Yeah if it has already been painted, there is not much you can do other than colour match it to the car, or buy a new one from Nissan. I personally like the unpainted raw plastic lips. But i guess that is all personal preference.

Yeah..... I agree with you. I prefer the original unpainted look too but I need to be disciplined with this car. I can't justify spending another $350.00 with no return. I'd rather put that money towards the painting of the wheels.

I love the way when proud R32 owners display pics of their car, there's one of the dash.

Congrats Bob, excellent car.

[R32N1]

Hahahaha. Yes, dash pics are a must. As years go on they will only get more and more rare. Lucky I have a mint one in storage for the N1 if it ever needs a replacement.

[Aussie_Delivered_R32_GTR]

I was lucky enough with my last car to have Duncan swap over the dash for me as the original had the treaded bubble.

Horrible job...... Like one big jigsaw puzzle.

I made sure I wasn't going to buy a car with the bubble this time. It was a deal breaker for me.

Sorry....... Are you referring to the car I bought or another one?

The ad shouldn't be on Carsales........

Bob.

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Its still on there man.

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

And yes, the car you bought.

[Aussie_Delivered_R32_GTR]

And yes, the car you bought.

No it's not.. The one I bought was at North Rocks NSW.

Which one were/are you looking at?

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Its doppelganger!

[Aussie_Delivered_R32_GTR]

Ok......... A bit of an update.

The car spent a week or so at Unigroup Engineering where Mark and Yavus tidied up the engine bay and tuned the car.

The first and second pic is a before and after of the engine bay.

The next pics are a tidy up of the stereo, dash and gear knob and boot surround.

The last pic shows the car with a set of Ford Falcon BA XR8 17" wheels. The 17" BBS wheels are at the painter getting repainted in the correct colour.

The car has gone to my panel show for all the cosmetic upgrades.

I want it back by the end of next week.

Just have to see how she goes.

Bob.

Looks great! How much did the engine bay tidy up set you back? They did a great job.

I can't specify an exact amount as it's all included in the overall bill.

They powder coated all the engine covers and the top of the radiator including new rocker cover badge.

Replaced all the blue silicon hoses with black ones.

Blacked out the intercooler hard pipe kit.

Swapped out the air box which for another which I had that was in better condition.

Made the OEM boost control solenoid look activated..... Which it isn't.

Then there are all new hoses belts, fluids etc etc........

Those rims make my eyes bleed.......but I know its for a greater cause.......

Is that an OEM Radio ?? If so where did you get it??

Cheers

[Marko R1]

Looks good Bob, I'm hoping those wheels are temporary?

Yes mate........ Forum member PM'd me and I bought it.

They need a band expander to pick up all our FM channels and double diversity male and female connectors.

With the aerial being in the front screen, the reception can be a bit inconsistent.

It's great to have but I'm tempted to put the ADM Clarion unit in. It was what they fitted to the Aussie delivered cars straight out of the Maxima's.

That way it's period correct and looks stock but works a lot better.

Bob.

[Aussie_Delivered_R32_GTR]

Looks good Bob, I'm hoping those wheels are temporary?

LOL........ Yes of course!

I needed something on the car whilst my original wheels are getting repainted.

I can see myself tinkering with these cars for years to come so a spare set of wheels will come in handy.

They only cost me $250.00 complete with tyres.

They are hacked up bad and I felt like a real bogan driving to the panel shop yesterday but these are the sacrifices we need to make.

At least the wheels and body work are being done at the same time with different repairers.

Bob.
